How we calculate, and where the numbers come from

The 6 steps of the math:

  • Calls per week × % missed = missed calls per week.
  • Missed calls × % who never call back = customers who never call back.
  • Customers who never call back × conversion rate = new customers lost per week.
  • New customers lost × average value × 4.33 weeks = loss per month.
  • The conservative scenario divides the monthly loss by two, on purpose.
  • Conservative monthly loss × 12 = conservative loss over a year.

Benchmarks from our published stats:

  • 27% of inbound calls are missed by contractors. (Source: 2026 Contractor Missed Call Report)
  • 85% of customers who reach voicemail never call back. (Source: Invoca)
