Frequently asked questions

How is the no-show cost calculated?

We multiply your effective hourly rate by hours lost to no-shows per year. This includes direct meeting time, plus an estimated 30 minutes of preparation per meeting and 15 minutes of context-switching cost.

What's a typical no-show rate?

Industry averages range from 10-35% depending on the sector. Healthcare sees 20-30%, sales demos 25-35%, coaching 15-20%, and consulting 10-20%. Free meetings have higher no-show rates than paid ones.

How much can GhostNot recover?

Customers typically see a 70-90% reduction in no-shows after adding stake-backed scheduling. The remaining no-shows generate direct revenue via forfeited stakes โ€” typically recovering 85% of the lost meeting value.
