Why Businesses Switch
FAQ
How much does a missed call cost a small business?
It depends on your industry. Dental practices lose roughly $250 per missed call (average patient production value). HVAC companies lose ~$350 (average service ticket). Plumbers lose ~$275 (average emergency job). Legal practices lose ~$500 (average consultation value). Medical practices lose ~$200 (average visit reimbursement). With 85% of callers who don't reach someone moving on to a competitor, those numbers compound fast.
What percentage of business calls go unanswered?
Industry research consistently shows 23–27% of inbound calls to small service businesses go unanswered — either because the line is busy, no one's available, or the call comes in outside business hours. After-hours calls are nearly always missed. The calculator defaults to 23%, which is a conservative baseline for most service businesses.
How do you calculate revenue lost to missed calls?
The formula is: (daily calls × missed call %) × industry average revenue per new customer × 365 days. Not every missed call is a new customer — some are existing clients or general inquiries — so real revenue at stake is typically 40–60% of the raw calculation. The calculator uses conservative industry-specific revenue figures to keep estimates grounded.
Can AI really prevent missed calls for my business?
Yes. Cadre answers every inbound call in under 10 seconds, 24/7 — including evenings, weekends, and holidays when most service businesses miss the most calls. It handles appointment booking, FAQ answering, and lead capture automatically. Calls it can't fully resolve are flagged immediately. For most service businesses, 70–85% of inbound calls are fully handled without human intervention.
Is $49/month enough to cover 24/7 call answering?
Yes. Cadre is $49/month flat — unlimited calls, 24/7 coverage, no per-call fees. Traditional answering services charge $200–$500/month plus per-call fees. An in-house receptionist costs $3,000+/month in salary, taxes, and benefits, and only covers 40 hours/week. Cadre covers all hours for 94% less than a receptionist.
