What poor phone coverage is really costing you

$2,160–$3,600 / mo

Each missed call costs you up to $120.

Conservative estimate — actual conversion varies by call urgency and business type.

This estimate multiplies your calls per month by your missed-call rate to get missed calls, then multiplies that by your job value. The top of the range applies the share of that business you said you could take on right now; the low end applies a conservative 30% conversion rate, since not every missed call converts. These are starting-point estimates from your own figures, not a guarantee of results.

Where these starting numbers come from

These are decent starting points, not verified facts about your business — most trace back to thin, sometimes self-interested sources, so treat every default as directional, not authoritative. The one exception is the home-services value-per-job range, which draws on independent Service Roundtable contractor data.

Two sliders — extra capacity and routine-call time — have no industry benchmark on purpose. They're your own judgment call, not a citation, which is why they start as a reasonable range instead of a hard number.

A few more caveats: the inline note only compares you to this tool's own assumption, not an industry standard. Some of this "loss" is really a margin hit (a customer ordering through a delivery app instead), not a total loss, and it's not a guarantee — just the size of today's gap in a typical month.
