The leak in your business
Every missed call is a customer walking to your competitor.
You're with a client, it's after hours, or the line's busy. The phone rings out. 80% of callers won't leave voicemail — they tap the next business on Google. 85% never call back. You often never knew they existed.
Without Strixe
Missed call → voicemail nobody checks → 62% of those callers move to a competitor. Lost revenue most owners never track.
The 5-minute rule
Reach a lead within 5 minutes and you're far more likely to win them. Strixe replies in seconds, automatically.
With Strixe
Missed call → instant friendly text → booking link → booking on the calendar. Revenue recovered, on autopilot.
The math
Missed calls aren't annoying — they're expensive.
A typical shop with 1–10 employees gets 30–60 calls a day — roughly 150–300 a month. Industry data puts the miss rate at 62%: closer to 35–45% if someone always answers the phone, often 55–75% if it's just you, after hours, or lunch rush. That's dozens of people every month who wanted to book and never heard back.
Step 1 · Call volume
150–300
calls per month for most SMBs
- Healthcare: 60–120/day
- Restaurants: 40–80/day
- Legal & professional: 25–50/day
- Most local shops: 30–60/day
Step 2 · Missed calls
53–225
calls unanswered per month
At a 35–75% miss rate on 150–300 monthly calls. With a receptionist you might land at 35–45%; solo owner, after-hours, and lunch rush? Often 55–75%.
Step 3 · Revenue at risk
$4.5k–$19k
in potential bookings every month
53–225 missed calls × $85 per appointment = up to $19,125/month walking out the door if those callers wanted to book.
42% of SMBs report losing at least $500/month to missed calls — most have no automated fix.
150–300 calls → 53–225 missed → $4,500–$19,000/month at risk (at $85/booking)

How it works
Three steps. Zero effort from you.
Once it's on, Strixe runs in the background forever. You don't touch a thing.
A call goes unanswered
Busy, closed, or hands full — when nobody picks up, the call quietly rolls to Strixe. Your phone and number stay exactly the same.
Strixe texts them instantly
Within seconds the caller gets a warm, on-brand text from your business name with a link to book — while they still have their phone in hand.
They book with you
They tap the link and book straight into your calendar. Every recovered call shows up in your dashboard with the revenue it saved.
Getting started
Set up in about 10 minutes — we'll do it with you.
No new hardware, no porting your number, no IT person. It's a few quick settings, and our team (or your own phone) handles the one technical step in seconds.
🪺 White-glove onboarding
Prefer we just set it up for you? On a 10-minute call we turn everything on and test it live with you. Most owners are done before their coffee's cold.

Turn on "forward when unanswered"
This is the only technical step — and it's a quick code you dial once on your phone (we give you the exact one for your carrier, or do it for you). Your number never changes; only missed calls roll to Strixe.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need a new phone or number?
No. You keep your exact number and your existing phone. You just switch on "forward when unanswered," so only the calls you miss ever reach Strixe.
What's the one technical step?
Conditional call forwarding — a short code you dial once on your phone. We give you the exact code for your carrier, or hop on a quick call and set it up for you in under a minute.
Will it text my regular callers who I do answer?
No. If you answer, nothing happens. Strixe only kicks in on calls that go unanswered, are busy, or come in after hours.
Is texting customers allowed?
Yes. They just called your business, which is the clearest form of consent there is, and every message identifies you and supports opt-out. We handle the carrier registration for you.
How much am I actually losing to missed calls?
Most shops get 150–300 calls a month and miss 35–75% — that's 53–225 unanswered calls. At $85 per appointment, that's $4,500–$19,000/month in potential bookings at risk. Your Strixe dashboard tracks your real numbers once you're live.
Which booking systems work?
Any of them. Strixe just sends customers a link, so Square, Calendly, OpenTable, Resy, Booksy, Vagaro, Acuity, or your own website all work out of the box.
