Why answering in the caller's language matters in Concord

Concord has 114,598 residents, and 15.8% are Hispanic. About 12.4% of residents speak Spanish at home, and 4.9% of all residents speak Spanish and have limited English. A caller with a leak may not want to explain the problem in a second language, and a voicemail in English often means a lost job. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and continues in Spanish, English or Portuguese. You keep the customer who is most comfortable in their own language.

A normal day: the Friday after Thanksgiving

It is the Friday after Thanksgiving, and a family has just finished dinner in a house near Harrisburg. The kitchen drain is backed up and water is rising in the sink. The homeowner calls your number, but you are on a job in Kannapolis with your hands full. Clara answers, asks what is happening, whether water is still coming in and where the sink is. She asks the caller to close the shut-off valve under the sink, confirms the address and checks your calendar. She finds a first-thing Monday slot, reads the date and address back and asks for confirmation. The customer knows the visit is booked, and you get a summary translated into your language without losing the job.
