What's the dumbest reason you've ever lost a customer?

Genuinely curious. Not "they bounced because of pricing" or "the product wasn't a fit" the dumb stuff. Phone died mid-call. Got their email wrong. Forgot to call back. Sent the invoice to the wrong person.

I'm a solo founder (in HVAC school, of all things) building an AI receptionist for tradespeople and the more I talk to plumbers and electricians, the more I realize the difference between $0 and $50k a month is sometimes just whether someone picked up the phone.

Avidra - Every call answered. Even the ones you can't pick up.

Avidra is an AI receptionist built for plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, roofers, and other local service businesses. When you can't pick up — because you're under a sink, on a roof, or driving — Avidra answers, captures job details, qualifies the lead, and books the callback. Every missed call is a missed customer. Avidra makes sure that doesn't happen. Built for the one-person business that can't afford a front desk but can't afford to miss the call either.
