Common Questions
Missed Call Calculator FAQ
What percentage of contractor calls go unanswered?
Industry research shows that 62% of calls to home service contractors go unanswered. This includes calls missed during jobs, after hours, weekends, and holidays. For businesses without a dedicated receptionist or answering service, the number can be even higher during peak season.
Do missed callers call back?
No — 85% of callers who can't reach a business on the first try will NOT call back. They'll call the next contractor on their list instead. In competitive markets like HVAC, plumbing, and roofing, the first business to answer the phone wins the job.
How much does an answering service cost vs lost revenue?
A traditional answering service costs $200–$1,000/month depending on call volume. CallJolt starts at $149/month. Compare that to the $50,000–$200,000+ in annual revenue most contractors lose to missed calls, and the ROI is clear — even recovering 10% of missed calls pays for the service many times over.
How does the ROI calculator work?
The calculator uses your actual business numbers — monthly call volume, missed call rate, lead conversion rate, and average job value — to estimate how much revenue you're losing to unanswered calls. The formula is: Monthly Calls x Missed Rate x Conversion Rate x Average Job Value = Monthly Lost Revenue. We then annualize that number and show what recovering just 50% of those calls with CallJolt would mean for your bottom line.
