A 24/7 AI receptionist that holds the miss rate to 4% recovers the bulk of it. The numbers below are pre-loaded with trades & home services benchmarks — change any of them to match your shop.

Home-service operators lose ~40% of inbound leads to slow response. A voice-AI receptionist picks up every call 24/7, qualifies urgency, and books into your calendar before the caller tries the next number. At 30 leads/week + $650 ticket, typical recovery is ~$10K/month.
