Deciding on a new tool for your business always involves trade-offs. Is it a pure cost or a profitable investment?
Implementing an AI phone assistant has a clearly calculable and often impressive Return on Investment (ROI). This blueprint gives you a simple tool to determine your personal ROI — not based on general estimates, but on your business’s real numbers.
The ROI Formula: How Value Is Calculated
Calculating ROI is straightforward. It compares the gain from your investment to the cost of the investment.
ROI = (Net Gain / Cost of Investment) x 100
The “gain” or “added value” from Safina comes from two main sources: the time you and your team save, and the additional revenue generated through seamless availability.
Your Personal ROI: A Worksheet
Take two minutes and fill out the following worksheet with your own honest estimates. The result will probably surprise you.
| Input | Example |
|---|---|
| A. Your personal hourly value in EUR | EUR 75 |
| B. Administrative hours per month the AI takes over | 20 hrs |
| C. Value of time saved (A x B) | EUR 1,500 |
| D. Estimated number of missed calls per month | 15 |
| *E. Value of recovered revenue (D x EUR 25) ** | EUR 375 |
| F. Total monthly value added (C + E) | EUR 1,875 |
| G. Monthly cost for Safina AI | EUR 49.99 |
| Monthly net gain (F - G) | EUR 1,825.01 |
| Annual ROI in % (((F12) - (G12)) / (G*12)) x 100 | ~3,650 % |
*Based on the assumption from our article The True Cost of a Missed Call that every missed call costs EUR 25 in potential revenue. Insert your own figure here.
A Tool for Decision-Making
This worksheet is more than just a calculation; it’s a diagnostic tool. It helps you uncover the often invisible opportunity costs of your current way of working.
The result in the example depends entirely on the assumed inputs. Replace them with your own figures to see whether Safina pays off for your business.
