The Sound Method · Missed-call math

What are missed calls costing your shop?

Every unanswered ring is a customer dialing the next name on the list. Put in your real numbers and see the bill — per month, and per year.

Local trades businesses miss about 1 in 4 inbound calls, and most people who hit voicemail don't leave one — they just call the next company that picks up. This does the honest math on your numbers.

The honest version: we apply your own close rate to the calls you miss — a missed call had the same shot at being a job as one you answered — and stop there. No padding, no "nobody ever calls back" multiplier. If anything it runs low, since the emergency calls you miss tend to pay above average.
