The Problem: Missed Calls, Lost Leads, and Busy Signals

The Problem: Missed Calls, Lost Leads, and Busy Signals

Every unanswered call is a missed opportunity. For small businesses, the cost of silence isn’t just frustration—it’s revenue. With 62% of small business calls going unanswered, many prospects slip through the cracks before they even get a chance to speak to a real person.

When callers hit voicemail, the damage compounds: 85% never return. That’s not just a lost lead—it’s a lost customer. On average, each missed call costs $200+ in lifetime value, a staggering loss for businesses already operating on tight margins.

• 62% of small business calls go unanswered
• 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back
• $200+ average lost lifetime value per missed call
• 38% industry average answer rate (vs. 99% for Answrr)
• 10,000+ calls answered monthly by Answrr agents

Consider a local salon owner who relies on walk-ins and last-minute bookings. During peak hours, the phone rings constantly—only to go unanswered as staff are in the back, prepping for clients. One frustrated caller leaves a message, but never calls again. That’s not just one missed appointment—it’s a potential long-term client lost forever.

The root issue? No one’s listening. Manual scheduling, limited staffing, and outdated phone systems create a perfect storm of missed connections.

But what if your business could answer every call—24/7—without hiring more staff?
