No fuzzy math. No inflated numbers. Here's exactly how we calculate your return.
We calculate lost revenue using industry-standard conversion rates:
Conservative estimates: We use industry-average conversion rates (75-88%), not best-case scenarios. Most businesses see higher actual conversions with Sockly's intelligent call handling.
Direct cost comparison against your current receptionist/service:
Plus hidden savings: No payroll taxes, no benefits, no PTO, no sick days, no turnover costs, no training time. Traditional receptionist total cost is often $57k-78k annually—we show direct cost only.
We combine revenue recovery + cost savings, minus Sockly's cost:
Why Our ROI Estimates Are Conservative
Real-world ROI is typically 20-40% higher than our calculator shows.
