Why answering in the caller's language matters in Pasadena

In Pasadena, 51.8% of households speak Spanish at home, and 70.9% of residents are Hispanic. If your company answers only in English, many callers hang up and call the next company on the list. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and continues in that language. She also handles Portuguese.

A hot June Saturday in Pasadena

It is a Saturday noon in June. A homeowner in Pasadena calls because the air in her house, a system about 15 years old, is not cooling, and a baby is in the house. She asks whether she should replace it. Clara asks what is wrong, what type of system she has and roughly how old it is, and whether a baby, an elderly person or someone sick is at home. Because there is a baby and heat, Clara flags the call as urgent and offers the earliest open slot. If the homeowner asks for you, Clara can transfer the call. While you are on a job in Deer Park, the visit is already in your calendar and the summary is on your phone. Without Clara, that call would likely have gone to another company in the area.
