The Problem
The Interruption Tax
Every Missed Call Is Lost Revenue
You're with a client. The phone rings. You can't answer. That customer calls your competitor instead.
This happens 10–30 times per week in the average Irish salon. At €50 per booking, that's €2,000–€6,000 in lost revenue every month.
CARA eliminates the Interruption Tax. She answers every call while you focus on what you do best.
