MISSED CALLS = LOST MONEY
Every missed call is a job going to your competitor.
62% of calls to tradies go unanswered. Of those, 85% hang up and ring the next person on Google. Here's what that's costing you.

Not every missed call would have turned into a paid job. Some people are tyre-kickers or the work doesn't go ahead. These numbers use a 40% conversion rule of thumb: we only count about four in ten of those weekly calls as jobs you'd likely have won if you'd answered and followed up. Per month multiplies that weekly figure by about 4.3 (average weeks in a month).
WITH A SYSTEM VS WITHOUT
With a system
Month 1
Site live. Every missed call gets an instant text-back. Leads captured automatically.
Month 3
Follow-ups running on autopilot. Warm leads converting. Reviews building.
Month 6+
Pipeline full. Bookings coming in while you work. System paying for itself.
Without a system
Month 1
Missed call. Customer rings the next tradie. Job gone.
Month 3
Still chasing leads manually. No follow-up. Word of mouth only.
Month 6+
Feast or famine. Can't predict next month. Competitors pulling ahead.
How the system works
A website that captures leads, wired to a CRM that follows them up automatically.
- Missed-call text-back. They get an SMS within 30 seconds, often before they have hung up properly.
- Lead pipeline. Every enquiry tracked from first contact to job won. Nothing lost in your inbox.
- Automatic follow-ups. Nudges and quote reminders go out without you lifting a finger.
- One job covers months of cost. Site from $1,140, CRM $240/mo.
