How it works

How we work it out

  • 01

    Missed calls

    The calls you don't answer in a normal week. Your phone's call log shows them.

  • 02

    Callers who'd book

    Out of every ten people who ring, how many would book a job if you answered.

  • 03

    Average job value

    What a typical job is worth to you. We multiply the three, then by 52 for a year.

Questions

About the calculator

Is every missed call a lost job?
No. Some are suppliers, some are existing customers and some ring back. That's why the close rate is there. Set the numbers to match your business.
Where do I find my missed calls?
Your phone's call log shows them. Count a normal week. Most people find more than they expect.
What happens to a missed call with Real Business Systems?
The caller gets a text back in seconds, and your AI receptionist can answer, take the details and record the lead. With the AI Business Engine, it also helps the caller book. Every call is logged, so nothing slips.
