Your Phone Is Ringing—Are You Listening? The Secret to Capturing Every Lead

Every time your phone rings, it’s more than just a sound; it’s an opportunity. It could be a new customer, a repeat client, or a big job that could fill your schedule for the week. But here’s the problem: if you don’t answer, you might never get that chance again.

In the outdoor service world, leads don’t wait. The competition is fierce, and customers expect instant responses. If you’re not ready to answer, someone else will be.

Why Every Ring Matters

Let’s face it—most people don’t leave voicemails anymore. They’ll simply call the next name on the list. That means:

• Missed calls = missed revenue

• First response often wins the job

• Your phone is your number one sales tool

The Harsh Truth About Missed Leads

Imagine this:

• Miss 4 calls a week and you’re leaving $800 on the table.
• Over a full year, that’s $41,600 gone.
• Even if you only count a busy season from February through September, that’s still nearly $28,000 lost; all from calls that never got answered.

Why You Can’t Always Pick Up

You’re not ignoring customers—you’re busy working:

• Running noisy equipment

• Driving to the next job

• Talking to current clients

• Managing your crew

You can’t do everything at once… but customers don’t see that. All they know is you didn’t answer.
