The Hidden Cost of Missed Calls

The Hidden Cost of Missed Calls

Every unanswered call is a missed opportunity—and for small businesses, the cost is far greater than just a lost appointment. With 62% of inbound calls going unanswered, and 85% of those callers never returning, the financial impact compounds quickly. Each missed call can cost over $200 in lost lifetime value, turning silent phones into silent revenue drains.

This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about survival. For service-based SMBs, the first interaction often sets the tone for the entire customer journey. When a call goes unanswered, trust erodes before it’s even built.

• 62% of calls to small businesses go unanswered
• 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return
• $200+ in lost lifetime value per missed call
• $500+ in monthly lost revenue per SMB
• $2,500–$4,000/month average cost of hiring a full-time receptionist

Consider a local wellness studio that receives 50 calls per week. With 62% going unanswered, that’s 31 missed calls weekly—nearly 1,600 missed opportunities a year. At $200 per lost lifetime value, that’s $320,000 in potential annual revenue at risk.

The real tragedy? These aren’t just random calls. They’re warm leads—people actively seeking your service. When they’re met with silence, they move on to competitors who answer.

But here’s the good news: you don’t need to hire more staff to fix this. The solution is faster, smarter, and already available.

A 3-day free trial with full feature access lets you test the system risk-free. No credit card. No contracts. Just instant readiness.

With Answrr’s AI onboarding assistant, you can build a fully functional AI receptionist in under 10 minutes—no technical skills required. That means 24/7 availability, seamless calendar sync (Google Calendar, Calendly, Cal.com, GoHighLevel), and natural-sounding voices like Rime Arcana and MistV2 that make interactions feel human.

The result? You stop losing money to silence—and start turning every call into a conversion.

Now, imagine what you could do with those 31 weekly calls—if they were answered.
