- Roofing: Standard baseline missed rates sit at 15% to 30%, but skyrocket to 50% to 80% during severe weather or major storm/hail seasons when call volumes surge 300% to 500%.
- • HVAC: HVAC companies miss an average of 22% of incoming calls normally, jumping significantly higher during peak summer or winter heat/cold waves.
- Plumbing: Plumbers miss around 27% to 62% of incoming calls (frequently because hands are busy on-site)
- Return/Follow-up Rate: Most trade operators fail to actively re-engage missed leads promptly; because homeowners typically contact 3 to 5 contractors at once, slow or delayed return calls (hours later or the next morning) result in lost jobs.
