"We were doing 12% callbacks until we realized techs were guessing on parts. A standardized checklist dropped us to 4% in two months."
— Tom W., HVAC Company Owner
The Math: Why Callbacks Destroy Profit
Every callback costs you more than the trip:
- Direct:Labor + travel + parts = $200+ per callback
- Hidden:Lost review opportunity = $500+ lifetime value
- Ripple:Bad word of mouth = 3-5 lost referrals
Example: 100 jobs/month at 8% callbacks
- 8 callbacks × $200 = $1,600/month
- 8 lost reviews × $60 value = $480/month
- Total Monthly Loss: $2,080
- Annual Loss: $24,960
