📞 What Happens When You Don’t Answer the Phone? (And How to Fix It with AI)

Running a business in Rhode Island? Then you already know the #1 way customers reach out: they call. And when you don’t answer? You lose more than just a voicemail.Missed calls cost you money, momentum, and long-term trust. Here’s exactly what happens when you miss a call — and how a smart AI assistant can make sure it never happens again.

❌ What Really Happens When You Miss a Call

📞 The phone rings. You’re on a job, with a client, or closed.

⏳ The customer hits voicemail.

😠 They don’t leave a message.

👤 They Google your competitor.

🚑 You lose the job.

80% of callers won’t leave a voicemail. In RI’s small business scene, that’s revenue you’ll never see again.
