The math on missed calls for contractors.
The average home service business misses 20–30% of inbound calls. 85% of those callers never call back — they call the next result on Google. At a $400 average ticket, missing 10 calls a week costs you $200k+ a year.
Why human receptionists can't solve missed calls.
A human receptionist covers 40 hours. Homeowners call nights, weekends, and lunch — when your team is on jobsites or off the clock. Hiring 24/7 human coverage costs $60k+ and still has hold-time gaps during rush hour.
What an AI receptionist actually does.
Answers on the first ring, in a natural voice. Asks qualifying questions (service type, urgency, ZIP code). Books the appointment on your calendar. Texts the homeowner confirmation. Texts your team with the details. Handoff to a human only for edge cases.
AI receptionists also handle forms and SMS.
Web forms, Facebook lead ads, and inbound texts get the same treatment: instant qualification and booking. No lead sits in an inbox waiting for someone to notice.
AI receptionist cost vs revenue recovered.
A well-tuned AI receptionist runs $300–$1,500/mo depending on volume. Recovering even one job a week pays for it 5–10× over. Most of our clients see 15–25% jump in booked appointments within 60 days.
