How much are missed leads costing your business?

Estimate annual revenue at risk from unanswered calls, delayed form responses, and inconsistent follow-up. Use your own numbers and adjust every assumption.

YOUR NUMBERS

Estimate the cost of missed and slow follow-up

Use conservative assumptions. “Missed” can include unanswered calls, unassigned forms, or leads that waited too long for a useful response.

Results are directional estimates based only on the assumptions entered.
Estimated revenue at risk$97,200/year
Missed opportunities15.0/month
Potential lost jobs4.5/month
Potentially recoverable$34,020/year

A better workflow cannot guarantee sales. It can reduce preventable delays and make ownership visible.

How the missed lead calculator works

The model multiplies new monthly leads by the share missed or delayed, your close rate, and average job value. It then applies your estimate of how much a better response workflow could reasonably recover.

This is not a revenue forecast. It is a scenario model. Use CRM, phone, form, and scheduling records to replace assumptions with observed data.

What counts as a missed lead?

  • A call that reaches voicemail and receives no timely callback
  • A website form that is not assigned to a specific owner
  • An ad lead that receives a generic response but no useful next step
  • An estimate request that is not followed up consistently
  • A lead that falls outside business hours with no acknowledgement

What to measure next

Track lead source, created time, first useful response, assigned owner, appointment status, estimate status, outcome, and value. Compare the same metrics before and after any workflow change.
