What missed calls really cost your business
Pull your last month's missed-call register. Most Indian SMBs miss 20–40% of inbound calls during busy hours — and 62% of callers never call back. They call your competitor.
Do the math for a clinic: 10 missed calls a day, 30% would have booked, average visit Rs.800. That's Rs.72,000 a month walking away — against a receptionist costing Rs.20,000 who still misses calls at lunch and after 8pm.
An AI receptionist answers in under 2 seconds, 24/7, handles unlimited simultaneous calls, and costs Rs.2,499/month. The breakeven is one recovered customer.
- After-hours calls are real revenue, not noise
- Voicemail captures almost nothing — 85% hang up
- Every call logged with transcript beats memory
