Hold time is silent revenue loss. Most callers bail at 45 seconds. See exactly how many bookings die on hold and what eliminating hold time is worth.
Industry studies put trade-services average at 30–60 seconds.
Roughly 1 in 4 callers walks. Almost all reach a competitor next.

The chart updates with every input you change. Left side is the leak you have today. Right side is the same shape damped to the 95% pickup rate RingDesk hits in production.
Abandon rate model: every 15 seconds of hold time adds ~12% to abandonment, capped at 90%.
Lost calls = total calls × abandon rate.
Revenue impact = abandoned calls × close rate × average job value.
RingDesk averages 1.8-second pickup with no hold queue — abandonment drops to near zero.
Multiple call-center studies (CCNG, ICMI) show abandonment climbing roughly linearly in the first minute, with sharp drop-off at 30s and again at 60s. Our model is the conservative slope of that curve.
