What a missed call costs a small company in Providence
When the AC stops cooling in a Providence summer, the caller phones two or three companies and hires whoever answers first. A small HVAC owner is often in a crawlspace or driving to another job when the phone rings. Each unanswered call is a job that goes to a competitor, and in Providence the competition is only a few minutes away.
A Sunday afternoon in August in Providence
It is Sunday afternoon in August. A family in Olneyville calls because the air conditioner blows warm air and they have a baby at home. Clara answers right away, asks what is wrong, what kind of system they have and roughly how old it is, and flags the call as urgent because of the baby. She offers the earliest open technician slot, reads back the date and address to confirm, and notifies the owner by phone. If the family lives in East Providence or Pawtucket, Clara logs the call the same way. The owner sees the summary before finishing his coffee.
What the owner gets after every call
- A call summary, translated into the owner's language
- The caller's name and address verified
- The visit booked on the owner's calendar, with date and time confirmed
- An immediate phone notice, and the option to transfer urgent calls
