The channel mismatch

Customers stopped calling. Your business didn't.

0175% of customers prefer textBut most service businesses still funnel everything through voicemail. The friction costs you the lead before they even reach you.
02Missed calls die in voicemail94% of voicemails go unreturned. The same caller will reply to an SMS in under 3 minutes — if you send one.
03Lead follow-up never happensQuote requested Tuesday. Owner busy Wed-Fri. Never followed up. $3,400 job → competitor. Multiply by 4 a month.

A missed-call SMS sent in 60 seconds recovers 9 of every 10.

Last week we recovered 41 of 43 missed calls into a written conversation — 9 of those booked an appointment.

The biggest drop-off is between 'asked for pricing' and 'replied to estimate.' I can draft a 24-hour follow-up template if you want.
