Why general contractors miss calls
Construction leads are high-value but slow to qualify. A kitchen remodel or addition inquiry can be worth a season of work, but only if you respond quickly and can tell a serious project from a casual question. When you’re on site, calls go to voicemail and prospects call the next contractor. Eight Eye gives each caller a real conversation and you a qualified lead.
CallRail’s 2025 analysis of 1.1M leads found home-services businesses miss 14% of calls (source: CallRail 2025 lead analysis). Every one of those calls can be a job that goes to a competitor.
