The Hidden Costs Draining Your Business

Cost #1: Missed Calls

Industry data shows that 30% of incoming calls go unanswered at average general contracting firms. For a contractor averaging 10 project inquiries per day:

Missed Call Calculation:
• 10 calls/day × 30 days = 300 calls/month
• 30% miss rate = 90 missed calls/month
• Average project value in Hollywood: $8,000-$15,000
• Conservative close rate (15%): 90 × 0.15 = 13.5 lost customers/month
• Using $10,000 average project: 13.5 × $10,000 = $135,000 in lost revenue/month
• Annually: $1,620,000 lost

Cost #2: No-Show Appointments

With a 15-20% no-show rate on scheduled estimates and consultations:

No-Show Cost Breakdown:
• 90 answered calls/month × 40% conversion = 36 scheduled appointments
• 17.5% no-show rate = 6.3 no-shows/month
• Staff time per no-show (1.5 hours): $50/hour = $75 per incident
• Lost opportunities: 6.3 × $10,000 × 10% close rate = $6,300 lost revenue/month
• Staff wasted time: 6.3 × $75 = $473/month
• Monthly no-show cost: $6,773
• Annually: $81,276

Cost #3: Manual Follow-Up Labor

Every inquiry requires follow-up calls, emails, and text reminders—all consuming staff hours.
