What Missed Calls Are Really Costing Your Trade Business
You're busy doing the work. You can't answer every call. And your customers don't wait — they call the next tradie on Google. Australian small businesses lose somewhere between $14,000 and $34,000 every single month to missed calls. That is not a typo. Let us show you the math.
The math: 28 missed calls a week, $14,000 to $34,000 a month
Let's do the maths. Say you miss just 4 calls a day. That's 28 missed calls a week. 85% of those people won't call back—they've already called your competitor. That leaves you with 24 lost opportunities every single week.
Now, depending on how good you are at closing, here's what that could be costing you:
| Close Rate | Lost Jobs/Week | Lost/Week | Lost/Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30% | ~7 jobs | $3,500 | $14,000 |
| 50% | ~12 jobs | $6,000 | $24,000 |
| 70% | ~17 jobs | $8,500 | $34,000 |
~7 lost jobs/week = $3,500/week
~12 lost jobs/week = $6,000/week
~17 lost jobs/week = $8,500/week
Based on $500 average job value. Your numbers may vary.

Why Australian tradies switch to Get Booked Out
You didn't spend years learning your craft so you could spend your nights chasing voicemails. You didn't start your business so you could stress about follow-ups while you're trying to have dinner with the family.
But here you are. Listening to messages at 9pm. Sending quotes at midnight. Trying to remember who you were supposed to call back. Wondering if that lead from last Tuesday ever got a response.
And Sunday night rolls around and you're already dreading Monday—not because of the work, but because of all the admin you know is waiting for you.
We take that off your plate. Not some of it—all of it.
You do the work. We handle the rest.
