Where could your inspection business grow?
Two places an inspection business can lose work: calls that ring out while you are on a job, and referring agents who drift away without regular contact. Pick a starting profile, enter your numbers and see the estimate update.
Went to voicemail or came in while you were on a job. Your call log has the real number.
Assumptions you can change
These are planning assumptions, not measured facts. They are starting guesses — replace them with your own numbers and the result updates.
Some are price checks or questions, and some try again. This is the share you actually lose.
For example sending each referring agent a quick note after each inspection. Test it; this is a guess.
Realistic extra revenue per year
$23,715
19% on top of your current $127,500
If everything worked in full: $39,525. The headline uses 60% of that, per your assumption.
$33,150
From missed calls
78 bookings a year at full effect
$6,375
From closer agent relationships
15 extra inspections a year at full effect
How to read this: it is a what-if built from your inputs and the assumptions above. The most reliable lever is missed calls, because you can measure it in your call log. The agent-relationship figure is a guess until you test it with your top referral partners. The headline adds about 56 inspections a year (19% on top of today's 300), or about 1.1 a week. The calculator does not limit that to the time you have, so check your calendar can take it.
Start with the phone
Count last week's missed calls and what share would have booked. If it is close to this estimate, answering every call is worth fixing first. We are happy to talk it through on a free call.

How the math works
The calculation
- Current revenue is inspections a month times 12 times your fee.
- Missed calls: calls missed a week, times 52, times the share who would have booked and never call back, times your fee.
- Agent relationships: inspections a year, times the share that comes from agent referrals, times the extra repeat work you assume from regular contact, times your fee.
- The full upside is the two added together. The headline applies the share of it you assume you capture.
Nothing here is an industry average, and the calculator has no capacity limit: it does not check that you have the hours to do the extra inspections. Your call log and your referral records are better inputs than any benchmark, so use them where you can.
Worked example at the starting numbers
The Solo inspector profile: 25 inspections a month at $425, 6 missed calls a week and 50% of work from agents, with the assumptions in the panel. These are starting guesses.
| Current revenue a year | 25 × 12 × $425 = $127,500 |
|---|---|
| Bookings lost to missed callsworth $33,150 | 6 × 52 × 25% = 78 |
| Extra repeat work from agentsworth $6,375 | 25 × 12 × 50% × 10% = 15 |
| Full upside | $33,150 + $6,375 = $39,525 |
| Headline at the capture share | $39,525 × 60% = $23,715 |
