Last Month, Eastside Plumbers Lost $240K to Voicemail. How Much Was Yours?

Your phone rang at 2 AM. A homeowner had a burst pipe. You were asleep — which is fine. But your voicemail answered, and they hung up and called the next guy. He picked up on the first ring. He's not better than you. He's just automated.

Where it hurts

Your phone is your biggest liability

Emergency calls going to voicemail after hours. Every missed call is $300-$800 walking to your competitor.

Dispatch by group text

You're texting 3 guys every morning hoping someone's available. Meanwhile, the job address is wrong and nobody brought the right parts.

The estimate that took 3 days

You scribbled it on a clipboard, promised to email it tonight, and forgot until Thursday. The homeowner hired someone else Wednesday.

60% of your quotes die in silence

You send the estimate and never follow up. The customer was interested — they just got busy. One text would have closed it.

3.8 stars for a 5-star company

Your work is excellent. Your reviews don't show it because you never ask. Your competitor has 200 reviews and shows up above you in every Google search.
