Young Adults Don’t Want to Call You

It’s 11 p.m. and a pipe bursts in a downtown apartment. A 25‑year‑old grabs her phone, googles“emergency plumber”, and taps the first result with an instant‑booking form. If your site forces her to leave a voicemail, you’ve lost the job before you’ve even woken up. According to a recent Waitwhile consumer survey, nearly 70 % of people would rather schedule online than wait in line or on the phone^[1].

Millennials & Gen Z: The Anti‑Call Generations
