- You can't see whether the call became revenue
Stops here. You still have to work out the job yourself.

Revenue tracking starts once a job is recovered.
The simple payback
One recovered job could pay for the whole year
Win a single job that would have gone to the next contractor, and the service has already paid for itself — everything after that is margin.
- A dedicated local lead line — your personal calls stay separate.
- Every lead tracked from missed call through to the sale.
- Live in a day — keep working while it runs in the background.
Recovered job · your math
Average sale · one job$12,400
›
Gross margin · 40%$4,960
One recovered job clears $4,960 — it covers the $4,800 year on its own.
“Why not just use a $49 AI receptionist?”
Because answering the call isn’t the finish line
A cheap service may answer or summarize. Pick Up the Job is built around your business outcome: qualify the opportunity, alert the right person, support the follow-up, and track whether the missed call actually became money.
The no-brainer guarantee
Start risk-freeRecover a job in 90 days, or you don’t pay
One recovered job covers the year. If Pick Up the Job doesn’t turn a missed call into a booked job in your first 90 days, we refund every dollar. The only risk is the calls you’re already losing.
