The Hidden Costs of Missed Calls for SMEs: A Game-Changer You Can’t Ignore

As a business owner, I’ve learned that every call is crucial. In today’s fast-paced business environment, a missed call isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s LOST revenue.

👋 Hi, I’m Stewart, and I run eDivert, a company dedicated to providing virtual PA, call answering, and live chat services to SMEs and sole traders across the UK. Recently, I penned a blog post titled “The Hidden Costs of Missed Calls for SMEs,” and I couldn’t wait to share some insights with you.

Why Every Call Matters

Imagine this: You’re a local letting agent, and a potential client calls to inquire about a property. You miss the call. What happens next? According to studies, up to 85% of people whose calls aren’t answered won’t call back. For a small business, that could mean thousands of pounds in lost revenue annually. 😱

The Ripple Effect

But the cost of missed calls goes beyond immediate financial losses:

• Reputation Damage: In today’s age of online reviews, a single missed call can lead to negative feedback.
• Lost Referrals: Happy clients are your best marketers. Missed calls mean missed opportunities for positive word-of-mouth.
• Growth Stagnation: Missed calls can significantly hinder growth potential for SMEs aiming to expand.
