Why answering in the caller's language matters here
In San Francisco, 11.1% of residents speak Spanish at home, and 16.2% of the population is Hispanic. A real share of your calls may start in Spanish. When a caller has to struggle with an English-only message, many hang up and try another company. Clara opens by asking the preferred language and stays in it, so the caller can describe the problem in their own words.
A normal day in San Francisco
Picture the first cold morning of the season in the Sunset or the Richmond. The heat pump is running, but only lukewarm air comes out. The caller phones your HVAC company while you are on a job across the Bay Bridge. Clara answers, asks what is wrong, whether it is a heat pump, a furnace or central AC, and roughly how old it is. She checks open slots, reads back the date and address, and asks for confirmation. You get a call notice with the summary on your phone.
