An analysis of more than 60 million calls to home service businesses found that 27% go unanswered, and 85% of the callers who reach no answer never call back. They call the next company on the list.
Since January, PhoneTap has independently reviewed 109,644 real contractor calls across 21 brands. The numbers are worse than most owners think: over $32 million in unbooked revenue flagged for callback. Client teams have already recovered more than $5 million of it.
Industry averages are bad. Independently reviewed contractor calls are worse. Here is what the data actually shows.

Most owners see a blended booking rate and think their call handling is fine. That number hides the truth: new-customer calls are slipping while repeat and easy calls inflate the average.
In this free one-hour live event, Tersh, Bill Brown, and Josh Crouch break down both sets of numbers, then launch PhoneTap live on real ServiceTitan calls.
The live launch is not a sales presentation. It is a live demo on real calls.
We will close with open Q and A. Bring three numbers: last month's booking rate, your best guess at your new-customer booking rate, and how many calls your team takes in a week. You will leave knowing what those numbers are probably hiding.
