Local businesses have been finding it difficult to staff employees and have fewer resources to invest in hiring someone to answer the phone. Recent government data shows that 80 percent of US businesses are “nonemployers,” meaning a single person runs their own company and doesn’t have any employees.

With fewer receptionists being hired, it’s no wonder that local businesses are missing so many calls.

A recent study had 411 locals call 85 businesses in a variety of industries over 30 days. The study revealed that businesses were only able to answer 38% of all inbound calls, 38% of callers went to the business’ voicemail box, and 24% didn’t receive any response from the business.
