The Problem

DRIVING SCHOOLS
LOSE STUDENTS DAILY

You're losing new students every day because calls go unanswered. Parents call at 8 PM, no-shows waste your instructors' time, and your front desk can't keep up with scheduling.

You Miss Calls When Parents Are Ready to Enroll

A parent finds your driving school online at 9 PM, calls to ask about teen driver courses, and gets voicemail. By morning, they've already enrolled their child with the competitor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$850/student
Lost per missed enrollment

Your Staff Is Overwhelmed with Scheduling Chaos

While your instructor is giving a driving lesson, five calls come in. Road test bookings, lesson rescheduling, package inquiries—your front desk can't handle it all. Students get frustrated waiting on hold, and enrollments slip through the cracks.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per driving school location

Students No-Show and You Lose Instructor Time Forever

Your instructor shows up for the scheduled lesson. The student doesn't. You send one reminder text that gets ignored. That's it—wasted instructor hours, lost lesson fees, and schedule gaps you can't fill at the last minute.
