Missed calls.
Make the handoff visible.
Emergency and after-hours calls come in when the team is busy, closed, or already on another job.
High-intent callers are not cold leads. They need capture, text-back, routing, and owner visibility.
The first useful evidence is not a revenue estimate. It is whether unanswered calls become visible work with a clear owner.
02 / Investigation sequence
See it clearly.
Change it carefully.
The sequence is intentionally small: understand the existing path, stabilize the handoff, and verify behavior before adding complexity.
Observe
Review call logs, coverage hours, voicemail, return calls, and the place where an unanswered call becomes—or fails to become—a tracked opportunity.
Stabilize
Create one acknowledgement and assignment path so the caller context, urgency, owner, and next action remain visible.
Test
Compare returned, contacted, booked, and unresolved calls after the workflow is in use. Keep the result separate from assumptions.
