Podcasts about missed calls

Every missed call is more than a missed opportunity—it could be the start of a long-term customer relationship that never happens.In this episode, Brandon Schoen breaks down one of the most overlooked profit leaks in the cleaning industry: unanswered phone calls. After reviewing the call logs from his own multi-million-dollar cleaning company, he uncovered a startling amount of lost revenue that had been quietly slipping away year after year.Brandon walks through the simple math behind calculating your own hidden revenue loss, explains why missed calls cost far more than a single cleaning appointment, and shares why fixing your revenue capture process can often generate bigger returns than spending more on marketing.He also introduces a free calculator designed to help cleaning business owners estimate how much revenue they're losing—and discusses practical options for capturing more leads without adding unnecessary complexity to their business.Use the free Revenue Calculator at https://calculator.noctave.ai/  to estimate your hidden revenue leak, then explore the full training to learn practical strategies for capturing more calls, booking more jobs, and growing your cleaning business without simply spending more on marketing. Listen now!Highlights:00:00 – Why a Single Missed Call Could Cost Thousands in Future Revenue02:04 – The $130,000 Revenue Leak Hidden Inside a Successful Cleaning Business04:56 – The Simple Formula to Calculate Your Own Missed Revenue07:43 – Why the First Cleaning Isn't the Real Value of a New Customer09:02 – A Free Calculator That Reveals Your Hidden Revenue Leak in Seconds11:40 – Why Most Cleaning Companies Don't Have a Lead Problem12:57 – Four Ways to Stop Losing Customers After They Call15:35 – How AI Can Capture Calls, Book Jobs, and Support Your Office Team16:57 – Why Recovering Existing Opportunities Is Easier Than Finding New Ones18:15 – The Cost of Ignoring Missed Calls as Your Business GrowsLinks/Resources Mentioned:Profit Cleaners Website Watch the FREE Masterclass: https://profitcleaners.com/masterclass)Join the FREE Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/profitcleaners/Visit profitcleaners.com/cleanerclean to stay updated on everything coming next from Profit Cleaners. profitcleaners.com/cleanercleanRegister for the free live training — Tuesday July 7th at noon Mountain:profitcleaners.com/voiceaiLearn more about Noctave AI:noctave.ai

A patient can be ready to schedule, call your practice, hit voicemail, and disappear before your team ever gets a chance to help them. In this episode of the Everyday Practices Podcast, Sara Hansen and Matt Hutchings sit down with Adrian Lefler, CEO and Co-Founder of My Social Practice, to talk about one of the biggest hidden growth leaks in dentistry: missed calls, slow response time, and outdated voicemail systems. This conversation helps dental practice owners see why the problem may not be lead generation. It may be what happens after the patient is already interested.

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta A paramedic rescues a young girl from the blazing Saint Luke's hospital before unsuccessfully inquiring about her mother's whereabouts. Sometime afterwards, undergraduate Shelley Baum hears her cat meowing near her house's koi pond. After she heads over to investigate, a hand appears and drowns her and her cat. Days later, college students Beth Raymond and Leann Cole discuss Shelley's funeral. Leann's cellphone rings in a lullaby-esque ringtone, with a call from Shelley. She opens it to an eerie voicemail of herself, dated June 12 at 10:17 PM. Subsequently, suffering from disturbing hallucinations, she calls Beth while returning from a study session. Beth rushes to her location but arrives just as Leann falls off an overpass and is struck by a train. A red candy pops out of her mouth, and her severed hand dials a number on her phone. At Leann's funeral, her ex-boyfriend Brian Sousa departs after experiencing hallucinations. Outside a coffee shop, he shows Beth Leann's post-mortem voicemail, dated minutes away. An acetylene tank explosion from the adjacent construction site launches debris into the air, and a rebar impales Brian's torso. A red candy is ejected from his mouth, and he collapses. The next day, Beth meets police detective Jack Andrews, who mentions that his sister Jean interned with Shelley at Saint Luke's and died herself two days prior. They determine the events are interrelated and he provides his contact card. Beth consoles her friend Taylor Anthony, who is distraught by a premonitory feeling of being the next victim, so Beth removes the batteries from both their cellphones to disable them. That night, Taylor's cellphone rings; she opens it to see a video of her apparent demise. The following morning, Jack and Beth research geriatric nurse Marie Layton, originator of the calls, and find the autopsy report of her eldest daughter Ellie, who died from an acute asthmatic episode. The file, mentioning "no bruising but evidence of past scars" with an attached CPS file for further consultation, indicates that Jean, a psychiatric nurse, questioned Marie at Saint Luke's and noted nine admissions between April and May for Ellie and her sister Laurel, concerning several causes, leading Beth to assume that Marie had FDIA. Meanwhile, TV producer Ted Summers, who approached Taylor earlier, prepares to record her exorcism, explaining that spiritual energy operates in the same electromagnetic spectrum as light/microwaves and is therefore transmissible via cellular phones from which it manifests as hallucinations. Noticing the show's advertisement on TV, Beth races to the site, arriving to an unseen force fatally choking Taylor. Her phone then sounds with a voicemail dated for tomorrow. Taking Beth home, Jack learns about her past in which her mother was abusive towards her (in particular burning her daughter with cigarettes), and her father, aware of his wife's abuse, hanged himself in their house's attic.

$11,250 a month can disappear from a small practice without a single insurance cut, ad change, or “slow season.” The leak is simpler and more painful: inbound phone calls that go unanswered when the front desk is slammed, it is after hours, or the team is juggling check-ins, insurance calls, and ringing lines.We walk through the exact math behind missed calls, using a conservative baseline of 150 missed calls per month, a 25% new patient conversion, and a $300 average new patient visit value. Then we dig into the real-world behavior that makes this problem worse: most callers who hit voicemail never leave a message, and many immediately book with the next practice that picks up. That turns “we will call you back” into a quiet pipeline for your competitors.Next, we demonstrate a voice AI answering service built for medical practices that can pick up 24/7, hold a natural conversation, send a text with your online booking link, answer common questions like insurance and parking, and transfer calls to your team during business hours with context attached. We also address HIPAA concerns, why the phone layer can be a safer place to start than AI that touches patient charts, and what setup typically looks like when implemented correctly.If you want more booked appointments, less front-desk chaos, and a better first impression for patients, start by fixing the phone. Subscribe, share this with a practice owner who needs it, and leave a review so more clinicians can stop losing patients to voicemail.

Five missed phone calls could be costing your practice $5,000 to $10,000 a month — and most practice owners have no idea it's happening. In this episode, Tracy Cherpeski talks with Erika Sanchez, CEO of Healthcare Call Center, about the hidden gap between marketing spend and practice growth.  Erika's team, built almost entirely of stay-at-home moms working from home across the country, has helped healthcare practices triple their lead-to-new-patient conversion. She breaks down why nearly half of new patient inquiries come in after hours, why speed to lead can make or break a new patient relationship, and the simple three-question framework her team uses to build trust in under two minutes.  Tracy and Erika also dig into why patients still want a human voice, not a bot, when it comes to their health — and why the disconnect between marketing agencies and front desk teams is one of the most common, and most fixable, problems in healthcare practice growth.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page 

Your next dollar is not hiding in a new ad campaign. It is hiding inside the business you already built. In this episode, Jimmy Nicholas and Dr. Dustin Burleson pick up where Episode 65 left off. Once you have decided what stays in your business based on principle, the next question is how to make what stays more efficient. The answer: 15 to 30 percent of additional revenue is usually already there, with no new customer required. They walk through five profit levers you can pull this month. LEVER 1 — Database Reactivation Rekindling a relationship costs a fraction of buying a new one. A short, personal "are you still interested" message can restart conversations that ad spend cannot touch. Dustin shares why customers reactivate as far out as 24 months, a pattern visible in public filings from a large direct-to-consumer brand, and why "they are not coming back" is almost always an excuse. The deeper point: reactivated buyers often want to buy differently, so listen to what they are actually asking for. LEVER 2 — Missed Calls and Speed to Lead Almost no one leaves a voicemail anymore, so a missed call is usually a lost sale. The hosts cover AI receptionists, instant text-back, and after-hours coverage, with client examples discussed in the episode including a multi-location group that recovered tens of thousands in a single month from previously ignored missed calls. The principle stays simple: answer the phone, and answer it like a human whenever you can. LEVER 3 — No-Shows and Schedule Gaps You often do not have a lead problem. You have a scheduling problem. Dustin explains how opening hours competitors do not offer, and staggering the team, turned slow days into the busiest ones. Jimmy contrasts that with a real customer experience of a gate coming down at lunch, and how availability alone can win the business. LEVER 4 — Pricing and Case Acceptance Competing on price alone is fragile. Offering good, better, and best tiers reveals price elasticity you did not know you had. The hosts also cover how AI can audit billing and coding to surface revenue that was being left on the table. LEVER 5 — Referral Systems People do not refer good-enough service. Give them an experience worth talking about, and know exactly who your referral sources are. The episode covers why most referrals go untracked, and what changes the moment you start tracking them. The throughline: AI now does in minutes what used to take data scientists and months. The operators who win ask a better question of the customers they already have. Pick one lever. Whichever one makes you lose a little sleep is probably the one to start with.

Are you like a deer in headlights when trying to determine God's will for your life—frozen, overthinking, afraid to make the wrong move? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how to find peace, clarity, and confidence for your next step.God's will is not a puzzle to solve; it's a path to walk. Too many Christians are trying to crack a code, but God is asking us to surrender to a Shepherd.You can know God's will for your life. Ephesians 5:17 ESV: "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."Three WRONG ideas about God's will:Everything that happens is God's perfect will. - wrong There's a difference between God's permissible will (what He allows) and His perfect will (what He desires). While God is in charge, He does not directly cause every event. Humans have free will and can act apart from God's will, and Jesus calls Satan the god of this world. 1 Timothy 2:4 NLT ...   If God desires all people to be saved, yet not all are saved, then not everything that happens is His perfect will.God's will is permanently set. - wrong Jeremiah 18:7–8 NLT ....  Though God is in charge, He allows people's response to influence what He does. God's sovereignty does not cancel your responsibility, nor is it threatened by your participation.Don't do anything unless you're 100% sure it's God. - wrong God usually gives direction while we're in motion, not frozen. Even God can't steer a parked car—you apply the gas while He turns the wheel. Acts 16:10 NLT ....  God guides walkers more than watchers.How to walk in God's will:Search the written Word. The Bible reveals God's general will; the spoken word reveals His specific will—but never contradicts Scripture. Psalm 119:105 ESVWalk closely with the Lord. The Bible gives principles; intimacy reveals your path. Romans 12:2 NLT ... Don't make knowing God's will your goal; make knowing God your goal.Focus on who you're becoming. Matthew 6:33 ESV ... We want a map; God is building the man. If you're spiritually mature, trust your decisions. God isn't raising dependent toddlers but mature sons and daughters who know His heart. 1 Corinthians 2:16 NLT; Psalm 37:4 ESVIf you miss it, trust God to reroute. Isaiah 55:7 NLT: A wrong turn doesn't have to be your final destination. God is better at rerouting your life than you are at messing it up.Conclusion: Remember maps? But better than a map is traveling with someone who's already been there. That's how walking with God works. When His will becomes your will, He illuminates your path—what looked confusing becomes clear, what seemed impossible becomes attainable.You don't need to know everything about the road when you know the One riding with you.God has a will for your life. Are you learning to walk it with Him?

God still speaks. Some say He only speaks through the written Word, yet that Word reveals a God who speaks today.John 1:1 Jesus is the Word of God, and words communicate. God's silence isn't the problem—our sensitivity is. God gave you the ability to hear His voice.1 Corinthians 2:9–12; Romans 8:16 You have a built-in receiver for God's voice. The question isn't "Is God speaking?" but whether you are discerning His messages.What does God's voice sound like? God is Spirit and speaks to your spirit, bypassing natural hearing. 1 Kings 19:11–12 His voice often sounds like your thoughts—but from a different source: subtle, spontaneous, persistent thoughts that remain. You may have been hearing Him for a long time.Why do we miss it?Too much noise (Psalm 46:10 NLT) – Distraction drowns direction. Not a speaking problem, but a listening problem.Wrong expectations (2 Kings 5:9–11 NLT) – We look for mystical while God gives practical steps.Unsubmitted areas (James 1:5–7 NLT) – Sometimes we don't want to hear; we want endorsement, not guidance.Confusing voices (1 Timothy 4:1 NLT) – Not every voice is God's.God's voice vs. Satan's voice God leads; Satan pushes. God clarifies; Satan confuses. God comforts; Satan frightens. God encourages; Satan discourages. God stills; Satan rushes. God convicts; Satan condemns. God corrects direction; Satan attacks identity. The fruit reveals the source.How to hear God (like answering a call):Ask – James 4:2Draw near – James 4:8; Exodus 3:3Pause and listen – Mark 9:7 (prayer is being with, talking to, and listening to God)Recognize His voice – John 10:27 (it aligns with Scripture)Share it – Proverbs 27:9 (real revelation welcomes accountability)Closing Like airplane mode blocks calls, distraction, sin, and busyness disconnect us spiritually. God is still speaking—you may just need to reconnect. Slow down, draw near, get quiet, and say, "God, I'm listening."God is speaking. Are you learning to listen?

Send us Fan MailI called over 200 notaries listed on my own platform about paid estate signing jobs.Two called back.That experience — and the painful decision it led to — is at the heart of this episode.For years I ran Gotary.com, a premium notary directory I personally built, marketed, and stood behind. I put my name, my face, and my phone number on it because I believed in the professionals listed there. And when hiring parties started telling me they couldn't reach those notaries, I tested it myself.The pattern was the same every time. Calls unanswered. Voicemails unprofessional or missing entirely. Texts and follow-ups ignored. For paid jobs.That's when I made the decision to shut Gotary down.But here's what that experience revealed that goes far beyond one directory:Most of those notaries didn't ghost hiring parties because they were careless. They ghosted them because they had quietly stepped away from the business — and never properly closed it.Ghost listings. Phantom profiles. Phone numbers that ring into the void. And hiring parties who find those listings, make those calls, and hear nothing — they don't know the person quit. They just know they got ghosted by someone who called themselves a professional notary.Multiply that across thousands of inactive notaries who never closed properly, and you start to understand where the responsiveness crisis in this industry is actually coming from.This episode is about that problem. And the solution.Whether you're thinking about closing your notary business, already stepping away, or still actively building — this one is for you.What we cover: — Why quiet, graceless exits are fueling the notary responsiveness crisis — The real cost of ghost listings, dead profiles, and inactive voicemails — A complete step-by-step checklist for closing a notary business with integrity — How to protect your reputation, your relationships, and the profession on your way out — The one question worth asking before you close the door for goodThis episode is for you if you're: — Searching for how to close a notary business the right way — Wondering what to do with your notary seal, journal, or commission — Feeling burned out, discouraged, or ready for a different season — An active notary questioning why responsiveness in this industry is broken — A mobile notary, signing agent, or loan signing agent wondering whether to continueResources mentioned: — Join the free community: skool.com/notary/aboutThe Sign & Thrive Podcast is hosted by Bill Soroka, founder of NotaryCoach.com and the High Performance Notary community — helping notaries build sustainable, professional businesses through relationship-based marketing, better systems, and a higher standard of service.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAI is no longer a futuristic idea for law firms — it is already reshaping how firms capture revenue, manage staff capacity, and compete in the marketplace. In this conversation, Billie Tarascio shares how implementing AI tools such as automated intake and billing capture is directly increasing revenue while reducing missed opportunities. She explains how even small workflow improvements can significantly impact a firm's bottom line.The episode also explores the real challenge leaders face when adopting AI: managing change without overwhelming their team. Billie explains how thoughtful implementation, daily communication, and focusing on higher-value work helps teams adapt successfully. Rather than eliminating roles, AI is shifting expectations toward stronger judgment, better client relationships, and more strategic thinking.Beyond AI, the conversation touches on innovative hiring strategies such as legal clinics that help firms develop talent early, as well as data-driven decisions about expansion and office locations. She shares how investing in systems, people, and technology today positions firms to grow faster and smarter in the future.0:02 AI is transforming legal tech faster than expected0:42 Using AI across the firm to improve efficiency and profit1:12 AI intake ROI and increased revenue opportunities2:14 AI billing tools that capture missed billable time3:43 Leading teams through rapid change and AI adoption5:28 Which legal roles are most impacted by AI evolution6:31 Hiring strategies and developing future lawyers7:30 Creating a legal clinic to build talent pipelines14:11 AI voice systems improving lead capture and conversion16:10 Missed call rate drops from 23% to 1% with AI26:37 Expanding law firm locations using data insightsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Billie:Website TikTok Instagram Facebook Linkedin Youtube 

In this episode, Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah expose one of the most overlooked revenue leaks in dental practices: missed calls and poor phone conversion. They share real data, conversion benchmarks, and proven strategies to help your team turn more phone calls into booked appointments. Plus, catch a clinical tip from Dr. Howard Ochs on the fastest way to clear and fill implant access channels - a two-second technique that saves significant chair time.

When inquiry volume slows down, every single call matters.In today's private practice landscape, you can't afford to miss opportunities simply because you didn't respond fast enough. Research shows that the first practice to respond often wins the client — even if they weren't the client's first choice.In this episode of Therapy for Your Money, Julie sits down with Uriah Guilford of Productive Therapist to talk about how AI-powered intake tools are helping solo and group practices answer every call, respond instantly, and convert more inquiries into booked appointments.We're breaking down what AI can (and can't) do, how it impacts your bottom line, and why speed might be your biggest competitive advantage in 2026.If you've ever wondered whether AI belongs in your private practice, this conversation is for you.Why You'll Want to Tune InWhy being “first to respond” often matters more than being the “best fit”How missed calls directly impact your revenueWhat an AI intake assistant actually does (and how it hands off to a human)The real cost comparison: human call centers vs. AI answering systemsHow solo practices and large group practices can both use AI strategicallyWhat happens when AI goes wrong (and how to avoid frustrating your clients)How faster follow-up can increase conversion rates without increasing marketing spendLinks and Resources Productive Therapist: https://productivetherapist.comExplore Simple Intake AI: https://productivetherapist.com/simpleintake/ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GreenOakAccountingMoney for Therapists Practice Startup - https://www.greenoakaccounting.com/startupGreenOak Accounting - www.GreenOakAccounting.comTherapy For Your Money Podcast - www.TherapyForYourMoney.comProfit First for Therapists - www.ProfitFirstForTherapists.comProfit First Academy - www.ProfitFirstForTherapists.com/AcademyPodcast Production, Audio Mixing, and Youtube Video Production by James MarlandIf this episode got you thinking about where money might be slipping through the cracks in your practice, share it with a fellow practice owner.Because missed calls don't just mean missed connections.They mean missed revenue.And every practice deserves to be profitable.

In this episode, Sidney breaks down the Japanese horror film One Missed Call (2003) and its American remake One Missed Call (2008), which has a rare 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

This week on Walk-Ins Welcome, we're bringing you Michael Ray's full talk from the Southeast Regional Urgent Care Association (SERUCA) Conference, where he unpacked one of the biggest hidden growth leaks in urgent care today.The room was filled with operators, owners, and leaders—all asking the same question: Why aren't our patient numbers matching our marketing investment?Michael's answer was direct: It's not always the marketing. It's the front desk.In this candid, data-backed session, Michael walks through real call recordings, real clinic numbers, and a real example of a practice that missed 70% of its inbound calls—while believing they “needed more patients.”This episode is a powerful reminder that your front desk isn't just answering phones. They are your first impression, your conversion team, and in many cases, the difference between growth and stagnation.If you're spending money on marketing but still feel like something isn't clicking, this is required listening.

Scott explains why missed calls and slow replies are quietly costing landscaping contractors jobs—and how a simple lead-capture system fixes it without hiring more staff.   You're busy on jobs, crews are calling, phones are loud—and while you're doing the work, potential customers quietly move on. This episode digs into the real problem most landscaping businesses face: not bad work or bad pricing, but missed calls, buried messages, and slow replies that lose you jobs.   We walk through a practical five-step framework (instant response, smart lead capture, quick qualification, confirmation, and handoff) and explain how phone + chat coverage across Google messages, website chat, Facebook/Instagram, and calls can capture the info you need. It's not about replacing you—it's about giving your business coverage so you don't have to be glued to your phone.   If you want to hear how it feels from a customer's side, try the demo at demo.leadspeed.io.

A group of friends start receiving voicemails from their future selves just moments prior to their deaths and then they start to die one after another.One Missed Call is the remake of a 2003 Japanese horror movie from director Takashi Miike and after watching this movie again, we come to the same conclusion. This movie has an interesting concept, but poor execution with a convoluted storyline, plots that lead nowhere, characters that are either developed badly or don't serve a purpose, and cringeworthy CGI. Multiple viewings of this movie haven't changed our opinion over the years and while it has a similar feel to movies like Final Destination, The Ring, and Feardotcom where there's a countdown to death, this film fails to deliver on an interesting premise.

Every time your phone goes unanswered, you're not just missing a call—you're missing an opportunity to build trust with a patient who finally worked up the courage to reach out. Studies show 42% of calls to medical practices never get answered. Add to that the 85% of people who never leave a voicemail, and the result is simple: lost patients, lost revenue, and lasting damage to your practice's reputation. In this episode, Zed unpacks the hidden impact of unanswered calls, why common fixes like phone trees and voicemails don't work, and how simple changes to your systems can protect patient trust, improve experiences, and accelerate practice growth.
