Somebody called at 7:40 last night. Nobody answered. They called the next company on the list.
Evenings, weekends, lunch, anytime everybody is on a job. People are still searching during those hours, often more, because that’s when they’re home noticing the problem. They call, they get voicemail, and most don’t leave one. That’s not a slow lead. It’s a lost one you already paid for.
Pull your phone records, count the missed calls outside business hours last month, and multiply by your close rate and average job value. Most owners are surprised by that number.
