Speed wins more deals than salesmanship. Leads contacted in the first five minutes convert far more often than those left waiting — and the first business to respond is usually the one that gets the job. Anchor AI texts back every missed call in seconds, not hours.
Only 37.8% of inbound calls to small businesses are answered live — meaning the majority of a business's own paid-for leads go unworked at the very first touch. (411 Locals, SMB Call Answer-Rate Study, 2013–2015, published 2016)

Most callers who can't get through won't leave a voicemail — they call the next name on the list, a pattern documented across service verticals.
Old leads sitting in your CRM aren't gone — they're just unworked. Nobody following up on them is a loss you already paid to create.

Start from your own numbers — the percentage below is the sourced anchor, the rest is your business.
Only 37.8% of inbound calls to small businesses get answered live. (411 Locals, SMB Call Answer-Rate Study) That means roughly 62% of the calls and form-fills coming in are currently going unworked at the first touch.
= leads/week × 62.2% currently unworked × your job value × 4.33 weeks/month.
Reaches every new lead within seconds of the missed call or form-fill — by text, in your own tone, not a script that sounds like a call center. She handles objections the way you would, and she doesn't stop until the appointment is booked.
Move the sliders to match your own business — nothing here is a borrowed industry estimate.
How we calculate this: leads/month × 12 × leads missed % × close rate % × average ticket — entirely from the numbers you set above, never an industry estimate.
That's approximately what could come back into your business every year — talk to us for a projection specific to you.
AI agents are sold on a simple one-year term. But you're never locked in blind — after your first 90 days, cancel the rest of your term at any time, no questions asked. Just let us know before your next billing date so we can process it before you're charged again.
No fine print.
