## Your numbers.

Business walking away each month

A text back could win back, each month

Over a year

These are estimates from the numbers you typed, not a promise of results.

## How the math works.

I multiply your missed calls per week by 4.33 to get a month. I keep only the share from new customers, then the share of those who would become paying customers, then what one customer is worth. That is the business walking away.

The last step takes the share a text back wins back. That is a guess, because it depends on your business and on what the text says. Start with a low number and track real replies for a month before you trust a bigger one.

## What to do with the answer.

- **If the number is small.** Missed calls may not be your problem. Look at how fast you answer the leads you already get.

- **If the number is big.** Set up a text that goes out within seconds of a missed call. [This guide covers what it should say, the consent rules and what it costs](https://launchautomation.ai/guides/missed-call-text-back-for-small-business).

- **If you sell insurance.** Speed matters even more when a lead is calling other agents too. [Instant lead response](https://launchautomation.ai/instant) answers new leads in seconds.

A tool that estimates what missed calls cost your business each month, and what a missed call text back could win back, using your own numbers.

Type in your missed calls per week, the share from new customers, how many become paying customers, what a customer is worth, and the share a text back wins back. The answer updates as you type.

There is no honest universal number. It depends on your business and on what the text says. Start low and track real replies for a month.

If one new customer is worth more than the monthly cost of the setup, even a small win-back can pay for it. Put your own numbers in and see.
