How do I estimate what wasted time is costing my business?

Short answer: Multiply the time or opportunities lost in each repetitive task by what they're worth: missed calls times your close rate times your average job value, plus admin hours times their cost. Our free 60-second waste calculator and 10–12 minute survey do this math for you, line by line.

A simple way to do it

1. Count missed calls per week, and how many of those would have become jobs.
2. Multiply by your average job value and by 52 weeks.
3. Add admin hours per week (quotes, invoices, retyping data) times an hourly cost.
4. Add slow-paying invoices and quotes that went quiet.

For example, a shop that misses 10 calls a week, closes 3 in 10 leads and averages a $4,500 job could be losing six figures a year from missed calls alone. That's an illustration, not a promise.
