Owner is on a job; staff is with a customer; 25-40% of inbound calls hit voicemail and never come back.
The cost is precise. Voicemail callbacks return at 12%. Live answers return at 78%. The 6.5x gap multiplied across a few hundred missed calls per year is six figures in lost revenue, easily verifiable from a year's call logs.
