Why Businesses Switch from Voicemail

Stop losing $1,200/month

The average small business misses 5-10 calls per week. At $250-500 per new customer, that's $1,200+/month in lost revenue. CallClerk costs $99/month and captures those leads.

Capture 95% of leads instead of 20%

Only 20% of callers leave voicemails. CallClerk answers every call live and captures caller information 95%+ of the time — name, number, reason for calling, and more.

Book appointments while you work

Voicemail can't book appointments. CallClerk checks your Google Calendar, finds available slots, and books appointments during the call — no callback needed.

Professional first impression

When a new customer calls and reaches voicemail, they assume you're too busy for them. When CallClerk answers, they experience a professional business that values their call.
