Find out how many of the leads you already pay for never get worked.
Nine questions about how the phone actually gets handled at your business. You get the arithmetic on this page the moment you finish — no call to book, no PDF in your inbox, nothing to download.
About a minute. Every question is one tap.
Your own numbers, through arithmetic we show you at the end. What this is, and what it isn’t.
What this is, and what it isn’t
This is your own numbers put through simple arithmetic that we show you at the end. It is not a measurement of your business — we can’t see your phone system and we’re not going to pretend we can. Every input is yours. Two things are ours: how much each answer counts toward the share of leads not properly worked, and the 1 in 4 of those that would have booked. Both are deliberately rough, and the second is printed next to the number.
You don’t have to take our word for any of this. The number answers right now: (314) 784-8835. Call it before or after you fill this in.
Your result
You already paid for those.
At — a month for around — leads, each one costs you about —. The — that don’t get worked are — a month of ad budget buying nothing. That money is already spent. The job of this page is to show you where it goes.
Where it’s leaking
Here’s what your answers actually point at, for free.
One thing worth saying.
At under 50 leads a month, the fix is usually cheaper than us — a phone that forwards to a real person after five, and a rule that every missed call gets rung back before you go home, will close most of that gap for nothing.
Everything you get comes from word of mouth and repeat customers, which means every one of these leads is expensive in a way that doesn’t show up in an ad account. It also means we’re a smaller lever for you than we’d be for someone buying leads.
We’d still take your call. We’d just rather you knew that first.
How we got there
—
The — is the sum of the gaps you just described — each one is listed above with what it added. The 1 in 4 is the only number on this page that isn’t yours: it’s our assumption about how many of those leads would have turned into a job if someone had worked them, and we’ve kept it deliberately low.
We stopped counting at 45%. Past that the estimate stops telling you anything useful.
This is an estimate built from nine rough answers. It is not a promise about what we would recover, and we don’t make one — we’ve never run your phone.
Don’t take our word for any of it.
The number below is answered by the same thing we’d put on your line. It’s live right now. Ask it something a customer would ask.
We’ve got your answers. The fastest next step: give us your website at heyfirstcall.com/start and hear your own receptionist answer as you, free, in under a minute.
If it turns into anything, it starts with a $19 7-day trial on your own phone line, credited to your first month. And until the jobs we book for you are worth more than you have paid us, you don’t pay the monthly fee. Hear your own receptionist.
When you’re buying leads and doing 50+ a month, the arithmetic on this page changes completely. Come back then, or call (314) 784-8835 and hear what we’d have put on your line anyway.
