Stop Losing Jobs to Voicemail
How Busy Shop Owners Like Mike Turn Missed Calls Into Booked Installs Without Lifting a Finger
Missed calls cost you money every day—more than you think. If your phone goes unanswered, you’re literally handing cash to the competition. Here’s how one shop owner fixed that—and how you can too.
Mike Missed Another Call
Why Missed Calls Are Killing Your Business
Mike runs a busy bedliner and truck outfitting shop. He’s proud of the work he and his team do — tough, quality jobs that build a solid reputation. But here’s the problem: when Mike is elbows-deep in a job, he can’t always drop what he’s doing to answer the phone.
So, calls go unanswered. Usually, they go to voicemail.
Sounds simple, right? Except it’s not. Because here’s the hard truth:
80% of callers won’t leave a voicemail message.
That means most of those missed calls? They don’t just disappear—they disappear with potential jobs, repeat customers, or quick questions that could have turned into sales.
And it gets worse. Studies show that 42% of businesses lose over $500 a month just from missed calls. For a busy shop like Mike’s, that adds up fast.
Mike’s business was bleeding money every time the phone rang and went unanswered. It wasn’t just about missed sales—it was lost trust, frustrated customers, and wasted marketing dollars.
The old voicemail system was silently killing growth. Something had to change.
How Much Are Missed Calls Costing You?
Let’s break down the numbers.
Imagine Mike gets 100 calls a month. Just 10% of those calls turn into booked installs—that’s 10 jobs.
Now, picture this: 20 of those calls go unanswered and straight to voicemail. Because 80% of callers don’t leave messages, that’s 16 potential jobs Mike never even knows about.
If Mike’s average install nets him $1,000, that’s $16,000 in lost revenue every month. Over a year, that’s $192,000—just from unanswered calls.
Even if that sounds high, studies consistently show that businesses lose hundreds — even thousands — every month just because they’re relying on voicemail to handle missed calls.
This isn’t about cold stats. It’s about real money walking out the door every time the phone rings and you’re busy on a job.
Mike realized the old way of voicemail was a ticking time bomb for his shop’s growth. Something better had to step in.
Meet Emma, Your AI-Powered Assistant
Mike’s breakthrough came when he ditched voicemail for something smarter: Emma.
Emma isn’t just a robot answering calls. She’s an AI-powered assistant designed to keep the conversation alive the moment Mike can’t pick up.
Here’s what happens now: When Mike misses a call, Emma instantly texts back—no delay, no “please leave a message” nonsense. A simple message like:
“Hi! This is Emma from Mike’s Truck Shop. Sorry I missed your call; I was busy helping another customer. How can I help you today?”
That text does more than fill silence. It tells customers their call matters. It opens a direct line for questions, quotes, or scheduling — without Mike lifting a finger.
Past customers love it. They’re often trying to reach Mike after a job, and Emma makes sure they don’t feel ignored. New prospects don’t have to guess if their message was heard.
And Mike? He’s off the phone and focused on what matters—running his shop—while Emma works 24/7 to turn missed calls into booked installs.

What’s Holding You Back?
