What slow replies cost your clinic
In September 2026 we sent one WhatsApp message to 98 private clinics in Israel - mostly aesthetic medicine, alongside dental practices - and measured how long it took to get an answer. The figures below are what we found. The calculator turns them into shekels for your clinic.
56% of enquiries arrive when nobody is answering. That is 44.4 enquiries a month burned, and 8.9 patients who never got an appointment.
A Standard subscription costs ₪490 a month. The monthly loss is 73x that.

Talk on WhatsAppHow we counted
- The out-of-hours share comes from the hours you entered, not from a hidden formula. A week is 168 hours and whatever is not covered is counted.
- Not every hour is equal: night hours carry a lower weight, because fewer enquiries arrive at 3am than at 4pm. Without that correction the result would be inflated.
- The in-hours loss starts at 6%, and that one is measured: in our audit of 98 clinics, 6.1% of enquiries got no reply at all.
- The out-of-hours loss is our assumption, not a measurement. Nobody has measured it, so the default is conservative and you can change it.
- The total is burned enquiries times your booking rate times patient value. No interest, no LTV, no extra multipliers.

What the agent does about it
- Answers within seconds on WhatsApp, the website and social channels - at 2am and on Saturday too.
- Asks the questions your receptionist would ask, and hands over an enquiry that is already qualified.
- Books the appointment in the calendar during the conversation, instead of asking the patient to wait until morning.
- Understands voice notes and answers them on the merits - someone who records a message on the way to the car does not wait for a person to listen to it in the morning.
- Sends before-and-after photos, a price list, a clip from the clinic or an explainer about a treatment - inside the chat, the moment it is asked.
- Follows up on its own with people who wrote and went quiet, without anyone having to remember.
- Saves every enquiry in the CRM with a summary, so none of them falls between channels.
The agent does not replace your team. It takes what repeats and what arrives when nobody is there, and leaves a person the part that needs a person.
