The math that makes
trades operators switch.

What a typical solo or small-crew operation captures once they stop letting leads go to voicemail.

Outcomes below are projected/illustrative based on industry benchmarks. Individual results vary by market, close rate, and call volume.

HVAC
2-truck operation
Recovered 18 missed calls/month → 6 new installs → $42,000 added revenue in 30 days.
How the math works
18 missed calls per month (avg for 2-truck HVAC)
33% close rate on captured inbound leads
$7,000 average install ticket (HVAC system replacement)
18 × 33% × $7,000 = $41,580/month
What a typical 2-truck HVAC operator captures once after-hours leads stop going to voicemail. Based on industry benchmarks.
Roofing
3-truck crew
Captured $186,000 in pipeline from after-hours leads in 60 days.
How the math works
Storm season: 12–15 inbound contacts/week after-hours
24/7 chatbot capture — no contact goes cold overnight
$12,000–$18,000 avg replacement job (storm damage)
~14 captures/wk × 8 wks × 30% close × $14,000 avg = $188,160
What a typical 3-truck roofing crew captures during storm season with 24/7 lead capture active. Based on NRCA benchmarks and industry close rates.
Plumbing
Solo operator
Booked 11 emergency calls in week one — without picking up the phone.
How the math works
Chatbot qualifies urgency, collects address + issue type instantly
High-intent emergency leads book same-day — no callback needed
$350–$650 avg emergency call ticket (leak, drain, water heater)
11 booked calls × $500 avg ticket = $5,500 week-one revenue
What a typical solo plumber captures in week one with instant AI qualification replacing the phone-tag cycle. Based on service industry booking benchmarks.
The Formula

How we calculate recovered revenue

Every missed call is a lead that went cold. The formula below shows what that costs your business every month — and what capturing those leads is worth.

revenue recovered

Industry benchmarks for home service trades: close rates on inbound chatbot leads typically run 28–40% — significantly higher than cold outbound because the prospect already came to you. Average tickets range from $350 (emergency plumbing) to $12,000+ (roof replacement). The math compounds fast at volume.

AutopilotAI's Starter plan pays for itself in recovered revenue within the first week for most 1–3 truck operations. The chatbot runs 24/7 at no extra cost — every after-hours lead it captures is pure upside.
