Why answering in the caller's language matters in Waterbury

In Waterbury, about 28.4% of people speak Spanish at home, and 38.5% of residents are Hispanic. Many customers who call for heat or AC service want to describe the problem in their own language. If the call goes to a voicemail in English, some of them hang up and try someone else. Clara asks first which language the caller prefers and continues in that language, so the job does not slip away.

A Sunday in August in Waterbury

It is Sunday afternoon, it is hot, and the AC in a house on the west side of Waterbury is blowing warm air. There is a baby at home. The caller is calling from near Naugatuck and does not want to wait until Monday. Clara asks what is wrong, whether the system is central or a mini-split, roughly how old it is, and whether a baby or an elderly person is home. Because of the baby, Clara flags the call as urgent, finds the earliest open slot in the owner's calendar, and notifies the owner on the phone right away. If the owner wants to speak with the caller, Clara can transfer the call.
