Missed calls and phone leads
How do I make sure every business call gets answered?
Use layers instead of depending on one person: normal staff coverage, overflow routing, an automated or AI answering option, and a clear fallback for urgent calls. Track unanswered calls and response times so you can see when the coverage plan is failing.
What to check
- What happens when the first person cannot answer?
- Is there an overflow or after-hours path?
- Are missed calls and response times being measured?
