ROI Calculator

What are missed calls actually costing you?

Four numbers you already know. Move the sliders to match your shop — nothing is sent anywhere, and the maths is shown line by line.

Your shop
$14,500
What a typical completed job invoices at.
25
Every call, not just the good ones.
35%
Voicemail, after hours, or nobody in the office. Most owners guess low.
20%
Your real close rate on inbound, including tire-kickers.
Lost work order Est. annual
Inbound calls / year 300
Reached voicemail 105
Never called back 90
Jobs that would have closed 18
Revenue reaching voicemail
$261,000
That's 18 jobs a year going to whoever picked up.

Recovering less than one job a year pays for the whole system.

MW AGENT ANSWERS EVERY CALL, qualifies the job, and books the estimate — including at 9pm on a Saturday.

At risk each year
$261,000
MW LABS, per year
$3,285
Breakeven
0.23 jobs

How this is calculated. Annual calls = monthly × 12. Missed = annual × your miss rate. Of those, 86% never call back — the one assumption we've made for you, based on published lead-response research; the rest are your own numbers. Jobs lost = remaining callers × your close rate. MW AGENT starts at $9/day plus usage. Breakeven = annual cost ÷ your average job value.

What are your lost quotes worth?

You quote a job. They say they'll get back to you. Then nothing — in either direction. Here's what that's costing, using your own numbers.

Your quoting
14
Every real quote, not just the big ones.
$14,500
What a typical quoted job would invoice at.
30%
Your honest win rate on quotes you send.
20%
Not one polite email. Actually chased.
Where your quotes go Per year
Won50
Lost on price or fit29
Went quiet, never chased89
Sitting in quotes nobody chased
$1,290,500
That's quoted work that simply stopped moving.

Recover one in ten and that's nine jobs a year.

Not new leads. Not more advertising. Just the quotes you already sent, followed up on a schedule instead of from memory.

Quotes gone quiet
89
Recover 10% of those
$129,050
Per week, that's
$2,482

How this is calculated. Quotes per year is monthly × 12. Won quotes come straight from your close rate. Of the quotes you don't win, we assume the ones you actively chase were genuinely lost on price or fit — the rest went quiet without anyone following up. The recovery figure assumes you win back one in ten of those, which is deliberately conservative. Every number except that one is yours.

What is your marketing actually returning?

Most shops know what they spend. Far fewer know what it buys. Four numbers and you'll have a cost per job, a return figure, and a sense of which lever is worth pulling.

What you spend and get
$2,500
Ads, agency fees, website, listings — everything.
18
Calls, forms, and chats you can trace back to marketing.
22%
Your honest rate, tyre-kickers included.
$14,500
What a typical won job invoices at.
Where you stand Annual
Marketing spend$30,000
Inquiries216
Jobs won48
Cost per inquiry$139
Cost per job won$631
Revenue from marketing$689,040
Return on marketing spend
2,197%
Every $1 spent is returning about $23 in revenue.

Lift your close rate by five points and that's 11 more jobs a year.

Same spend, same inquiries. The difference is what happens after the phone rings — answering faster, quoting sooner, and following up on the ones that go quiet.

Extra jobs a year
11
from a 5-point close-rate lift
Extra revenue
$158,050
no additional ad spend
Cost per job falls to
$514
from $631

How this is calculated. Annual figures are monthly × 12. Cost per inquiry is spend ÷ inquiries. Cost per job is spend ÷ jobs won. Return is revenue ÷ spend, shown as a percentage — it's a revenue figure, not profit, so your margin still comes off the top. The uplift assumes a five-percentage-point improvement in close rate with no change to spend or inquiry volume. Every input is yours.
