The problem
A homeowner ready to spend {currency:30000} on an addition won't leave a voicemail
When you're finishing drywall, insulating a basement, or framing an interior in January, you can't answer the phone. But the homeowner who just got their building permit is calling three contractors and hiring whoever picks up first. By the time you call back, they've already scheduled a site visit with someone else.
- 79% of homeowners looking for a contractor won't leave a voicemail and will call the next one on the list
- The average general contractor misses 4-6 calls per week while on the job site
- Seasonal surges after storms and building permit approvals can triple your call volume overnight
- A single missed addition inquiry can be worth C$30,000+ in lost revenue
