How to Stop Missing Landscaping Leads After Hours
Discover why 85% of unanswered callers never call back and how to capture every opportunity, even when your crews are in the field.
How to Stop Missing Landscaping Leads After Hours
Every landscaping business owner knows the frustration of missing calls. You’re out in the field with your crew, working on a job, when your phone rings. You can’t answer it because your hands are dirty, you’re operating equipment, or you’re in the middle of a conversation with a client. By the time you can call back, that potential customer has already moved on to your competitor.
This scenario plays out thousands of times every day across the landscaping industry, and it’s costing businesses millions in lost revenue.
The Real Cost of Missed Calls
According to industry research, 85% of unanswered callers never call back. Think about that for a moment. For every 10 calls you miss, you’re losing 8-9 potential customers.
For the average landscaping business doing $500,000 in annual revenue, missed calls could be costing you up to $120,000 per year in lost opportunities.
Why Customers Don’t Call Back
Immediate Need: When someone calls for landscaping services, they often need help right away. If you don’t answer, they’ll call the next company on their list.
Competition: There are likely 5-10 other landscaping companies in your area. If you don’t answer, they will.
Frustration: Nothing is more frustrating than calling a business and getting no answer or a voicemail. It sends the message that you don’t care about their business.
Convenience: People want immediate answers. If they can’t reach you, they’ll find someone who will answer.
