What this number means

The calculator above uses industry-standard benchmarks for missed-call rates, caller-to-customer conversion, and customer value. It’s deliberately conservative — your real loss is likely higher when you factor in repeat business and word-of-mouth from customers you never met.

Working days only. Weekends and after-hours calls are excluded — and missed-call cost there is typically higher than during opening hours, not lower.

The fix

What The Always-On Front Desk™ would do about it.

Your phone, never missed. Every call answered, every lead captured, every follow-up sent — for less than the cost of a part-time receptionist.

  • Custom Voice Agent

    Built on your business's voice, scripts, and edge cases. Trained on real call recordings where available. Not a template, not a generic bot.

  • Calendar Integration

    Direct booking into Google, Outlook, Calendly, or your existing system. Callers leave with a confirmed appointment, not a promise of a callback.

  • CRM Sync

    Every call logged automatically in HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Airtable, or wherever you live. Full transcript, sentiment tag, outcome, and next action attached to the contact.

  • 60-Second SMS Follow-Up

    Automatic personalised text within 60 seconds of every call ending. Companies that follow up within a minute are 5x more likely to convert.

  • Multilingual Mode

    Handles English plus one additional language as standard. Spanish, French, Polish, Mandarin, Arabic available out of the box. More on request.

  • After-Hours Override

    Different agent behaviour after hours, weekends, and holidays. Emergency routing for urgent calls, lead capture for everything else.

  • Friday Performance Audit

    Every Friday, our analytics team reviews the week's calls — quality scoring, missed-opportunity detection, three specific tweaks applied before Monday.

  • Call Recording Intelligence

    Every call transcribed, sentiment-tagged, intent-classified, and searchable. We surface the patterns you wouldn't have time to find.

  • Monthly Optimisation Call

    30 minutes with our team to review performance, share what's working in your sector, plan the month's improvements. Strategic, not just operational.

  • 24-Hour Support SLA

    Direct line to the team. Slack channel, email, phone. No tickets, no portals, no support roulette.

The 3x Guarantee

If your Always-On Front Desk doesn't recover at least 3x its monthly cost in measurable booked revenue within 90 days, we work for free until it does — or we refund every penny. Your choice.

How we calculate this

Inputs are yours. The math is conservative.

Missed-call rates draw on the BT Business Communication Survey, the Marchex Communication Index, and Invoca buyer studies. Customer-value defaults are sector medians. Working days assume 21 per month, 252 per year. The calculator excludes weekends, after-hours, and emergency calls — where missed-call cost is typically higher.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a starting point for a conversation.
