What It Does

This calculator helps small business owners understand the true cost of missed calls by:

1. Calculating Lost Revenue - Uses industry-specific customer values to estimate daily/monthly/annual losses
2. Projecting AI Receptionist ROI - Shows payback period and return on investment
3. Generating Shareable Reports - Creates personalized reports business owners can share

The Problem

The average small business misses 30% of incoming calls.

For service businesses, each missed call represents:

• A potential customer going to a competitor
• Revenue that's permanently lost
• Negative word-of-mouth (unanswered calls frustrate callers)

Why This Matters

Most business owners know they miss calls. They don't know:

1. How many calls they miss (actual number)
2. What those calls are worth (dollar impact)
3. How to fix it (solutions exist)

This calculator makes the invisible visible. Once you see "$800k/year lost," the problem becomes urgent.
