03 — DO THE MATH

The missed calls are the expensive part

The line item you see is the receptionist. The cost you don't see is every call that rang out. Here is the arithmetic most businesses never run.

A handful of saved bookings a month covers the entire bill. Everything after that is margin you were already leaving on the table.
