Missed call calculator
What do missed calls cost your shop?
Four numbers you already have, multiplied together, next to what Pickwick's cheapest plan costs. Every step is shown. Nothing here is an industry average.
Your numbers
Revenue at risk from missed calls, a month.
Starting numbers are placeholders, not industry averages. They are there to show the arithmetic. Replace every one with your own.
- Works without a script: change a number and press Calculate; the page reloads with your result.
- Where the numbers come from is in the questions below, and in the missed-call guide.
- Then compare: the three plans, and how a call goes once it is answered.
What changes the answer
How missed calls add up for a trade shop.
The share missed is the number most owners underestimate, because the calls that rang out while they were on a roof never show up anywhere but the carrier's log.
Nights and weekends go to voicemail at most owner-operated shops. Forwarding only after hours changes the daytime count not at all. See the HVAC page for what the calls look like.
A caller who does not understand the greeting cannot leave a useful message. Spanish on the line is a switch on every plan.
At the placeholder ticket, one approved booking pays for the plan. Your own dashboard will show the count after two weeks.
Price shoppers, robocalls and customers who left a message and got a morning callback are not in the number. That is why the "book elsewhere" share is yours to set.
Where do I find my own numbers?
Calls a week: your phone bill or carrier app. The share missed: rings that went to voicemail or rang out, divided by all rings; most carrier apps list missed calls by day. Average ticket: your own invoices. The share who book elsewhere is a judgment; try a low number and see whether the answer changes.
Are the starting numbers industry averages?
No. They are placeholders so the page shows the arithmetic before you type. We do not publish an industry average for missed calls because we have not measured one.
Is this a guarantee?
No. It is your numbers multiplied together. Pickwick's dashboard shows every call it answered and every one it missed, so after two weeks on your line you can judge on your own log instead of this page.
Why compare with the cheapest plan?
Because it is the honest floor: After-hours & overflow is $149 a month for 600 minutes and includes the approval flow, Spanish and the nightly review. Pro is $349. If your numbers do not clear $149, Pickwick is not worth it for you yet.
