An AI receptionist typically delivers 10x-160x ROI in the first month through recovered missed calls alone. A Florida plumbing company paying $300/month recovered $48,750 in new revenue opportunities in 30 days. Even conservative estimates — capturing just 5 additional calls per week at $200 average job value — generates $4,000/month in new revenue against a $300/month cost. That's 13x ROI before accounting for staff time savings.
