Ghost Revenue in Home Services

Home service calls are urgent by nature — a broken AC in July or burst pipe at midnight. 40% of calls come outside business hours, and 85% of homeowners will call the next company if you don't answer.

The Hard Truth About Missed Calls

Every unanswered call is revenue you never knew you lost.

The 90-Second Cliff

By 2026, the average patience threshold has dropped dramatically. Callers now abandon ship after just 90 seconds on hold. In home services, where calls are often urgent, that window is even shorter.

The Silent Switch

56% of customerswho have a bad experience (like being put on hold) will never complain. They just quietly switch to a competitor. You won't even know they're gone until your revenue dips.
