This is a projected ROI scenario based on published industry averages. Individual results vary based on market, pricing, call volume, and service mix.

Industry Context

Mid-size electrical contractors typically spend $1,500–$2,500/month on human answering services. These services often have limited hours, generic scripts, and can't qualify electrical-specific needs (panel upgrade vs. outlet install vs. emergency). According to industry surveys, 25–35% of inbound calls to contractors are spam or solicitors — a pure waste at per-minute answering service rates.

The Problem

This team is already paying $1,800/month for a human answering service — and it's still not working. The service has limited scripts, can't distinguish a panel upgrade from a simple outlet install, sends 30% spam calls through as real leads, and shuts off at 8 PM. Real customers calling after hours get a generic voicemail that says "leave a message and we'll call you back during business hours." They don't leave messages.
