Get startedHow we calculate this
Annual lost revenue = (calls/week × 52) × missed-rate × abandonment-rate × conversion-if-answered × average customer value.
Defaults: 47% miss rate (Phonely), 62% abandon-after-one-miss (Ringover), 30% would-have-converted (industry standard for inbound). Override any field to model your own business.
Why most fixes don't work
- Voicemail loses 90 cents on the dollar. Voicemail-leaver conversion is below 10% — most callers just hang up.
- Hiring more receptionists is expensive. A full-time receptionist runs $42K–$58K/yr loaded. After-hours coverage ~doubles that.
- Outsourced answering services punish growth. Per-call pricing means your bill scales with success — exactly when margin matters most.
Pyrexa AI starts at $89/month flat. No per-call pricing. No after-hours surcharge. Cancel anytime — get started.
