Revenue Leak Heatmap
Map all 12 leaksMethodology + sources
Formula: Annual call volume × (1 − pickup rate) × industry conversion when answered × 0.85 lost-forever multiplier × avg deal value.
- 62% of SMB calls unanswered: 411 Locals study, widely cited by Aira / Phonely / Numa
- 85% lost-forever: Forbes/HubSpot via Numa, Aira 2025, Phonely 2026, multiple independent confirmations
- Restaurants 82% phone conversion: RestaurantsTables 2026 industry data
- HVAC 46% phone conversion: Meridian Gable industry benchmark
- Dental 55% new patient booking: Resonate AI dental statistics + Crimson Media
- Real estate 30% lead-to-appointment: Follow Up Boss + Icenhower Coaching
- AI receptionist cost €400–500/mo: NextPhone 2026 AI answering service comparison
- 50% recovery rate (conservative): top-quartile AI receptionists hit 70–85%, we model the lower bound
We deliberately under-promise: single-booking value only (no LTV inflation), 50% recovery (not 80%), and the 0.85 lost-forever multiplier on bookings (not raw revenue). The math is auditable by your CFO.
