Potential emergency boiler job. Customer is available this afternoon and wants a call back as soon as possible.

Missed calls often mean missed jobs.

When you are on site, in a meeting, driving, or closed for the day, a ringing phone still matters. Many callers will not leave a voicemail — they simply try the next business.

Voicemail gets ignored

Customers rarely leave complete details, and many do not leave a message at all.
