What a missed call costs a small HVAC company in Joliet

A small heating and air conditioning company in Joliet spends most of the day with its hands full, in a crawl space or with a unit open in a backyard. Each call you let ring is a job that goes to the competitor who picked up. In a city where 73.7% of homes are owner-occupied and the median build year is 1985, owners call when something stops working, and that call is usually urgent and ready to book.

A normal Monday in Joliet

On a Monday morning a landlord calls from Shorewood. He says the AC in a Joliet rental stopped cooling and the tenant has a baby at home. Clara asks what is happening, what type of system it is and roughly how old, and flags the call as urgent because of the baby. She checks the open slots in your calendar, reads back the date and address, and notifies you by phone right away. If needed, she can transfer the call to you. Meanwhile you stay on the job in Crest Hill without losing the booking.

What you get after every call

• A visit booked in your calendar, with date, time and address confirmed.
• A call summary in the language you choose, translated for you.
• An immediate phone notice, or a transfer of the call if it is urgent.
• A one-tap SMS confirmation sent from your own phone, only if the customer agrees.
