Why answering in the caller's language matters in Edinburg

Edinburg has about 110,700 residents, and 86.7 % are Hispanic. About 69 % of residents speak Spanish at home, which is roughly 66,932 people. That means many of your callers will describe a problem more clearly in Spanish. If the call goes to voicemail or to an English menu they do not follow, they often hang up and call someone else. Clara opens in English, asks the caller's preferred language, and continues in English, Spanish or Portuguese, so you keep the job instead of losing it.

A normal day with Clara

It is a hot Saturday in June, and a homeowner in Edinburg near the road to McAllen calls. Her central system is about 15 years old and no longer cools well. She wants to know whether it makes sense to replace it. Clara asks what the system is, roughly how old it is, and whether children or elderly people are at home. Since this is not an emergency, Clara offers the earliest open technician slot, reads back the date and address, and explains that the visit has the diagnostic fee you configured, without quoting any amount. You get a phone alert with the summary in English. That evening you review the lead and call her about replacement options, while Clara kept handling the rest of the day's calls.
