What it's costing Akron businesses

The hidden tax on unanswered calls

  • Akron customers Google a service, call the first listing, and book whoever picks up, if you're #2 to answer, you've already lost the job.
  • Emergency calls (burst pipes in January, AC failures in July, storm-damaged roofs) come in after hours and go straight to voicemail.
  • Hiring a local front-office receptionist costs $40,000-$55,000 a year, and they still can't answer two calls at once or work overnight.
  • Front-desk staff get pulled between in-office customers and ringing phones, dropping both.
  • Voicemail-back follow-ups have under a 20% callback rate, most Akron prospects are gone forever within 5 minutes.
