How Much Revenue Are You Losing to Missed Calls?

The average small business misses 40-60% of incoming calls. With an average job value of $500-$5,000 depending on industry, and a 25-35% close rate on returned calls, most businesses lose $2,000-$15,000 per month in missed call revenue. The exact amount depends on call volume, industry, and average transaction value.

Most businesses see 5x-20x ROI from missed call text back. PepperSend starts at $9/month. If your average job is worth $500 and the AI recovers just 2 missed calls per month, that is $1,000 in recovered revenue against a $9 cost, or roughly 100x return. Service businesses with higher ticket values see even greater returns.

AI-powered text back like PepperSend typically recovers 30-50% of missed calls by engaging callers within 5 seconds. Traditional voicemail recovery rates are only 5-15% because callers have already moved on to a competitor. The speed and conversational nature of AI text back keeps callers engaged instead of calling the next business on the list.

Multiply your monthly missed calls by your close rate by your average job value. For example, 50 missed calls times 30% close rate times $800 average job equals $12,000 in lost monthly revenue. The calculator above does this math automatically and shows you exactly how much AI text back would recover.
