What You're Losing
With an AI Receptionist
Your Bottom Line
You're losing approximately £66,400/year to missed calls. An AI receptionist costing £2,400/year would recover £59,760 — a 2390% return on investment.
Why Missed Calls Are So Expensive
Every missed call represents a potential customer who had enough intent to pick up the phone. Research by BT Business found that 85% of people who can't reach a business on the first try won't call back — they'll call the next result in Google instead. That's your competitor getting a free lead that should have been yours.
The cost compounds over time. A tradesperson missing just 3 calls per day at an average job value of £250 loses over £58,000 per year. A dental practice missing 5 calls per day loses potential patient revenue worth even more over their lifetime.
How AI Phone Answering Solves This
An AI receptionist answers every call instantly — 24/7, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. It handles the common tasks that make up 70-80% of calls: booking appointments, answering FAQs, capturing lead details, and providing directions or opening hours.
For complex calls, the AI transfers to a human with full context of the conversation. The result: 90% fewer missed calls, more bookings, and recovered revenue that far exceeds the cost of the service.
