Most businesses have no idea how many calls they miss. Here is how to find out, and what to do about it.
A missed call from a new customer is often a lost sale, because many callers simply ring the next business on the list. To fix it, first measure how many calls go unanswered and when, then add call routing, a fast callback process, and automated answering for after-hours and overflow calls.
Someone who calls is usually further along than someone who fills in a form. They have a question they want answered now. If nobody picks up, the easiest next step for them is not to wait; it is to tap the next result.
The painful part is that missed calls rarely show up anywhere. Nobody writes them down, and a busy week feels like a good week even if half the enquiries went unanswered.
Your phone system or telecom provider can export answered and unanswered calls. Two to four weeks is enough to see a pattern.
Lunch hours, early mornings, weekends and campaign days are the usual gaps. Each gap has a different fix.
Note the time between a missed call and your return call. Hours turn warm enquiries cold.
Let calls ring on more than one phone so someone free can pick up.
Agree that every missed call gets a call back within a fixed time, and make one person responsible for it.
Send missed callers a message saying you will call back, with a link to book a time.
Answer after-hours and busy-line calls, capture the need and book a callback or appointment.
It is better than nothing, but many people will not leave a message for a business they have never used. A live answer or a quick callback converts far better.
Yes. Call tracking numbers, or click-to-call events in your analytics, show which pages and campaigns produce calls, so you can see where missed calls are costing you most.
