Why answering in the caller's language matters in Menifee

Menifee has 118,592 residents, and 41.2% identify as Hispanic. About 22,698 people speak Spanish at home, while 6% of residents speak Spanish and have limited English. That means many callers want to describe a leak or a clogged drain in Spanish, and some will hang up if they cannot. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and continues in that language, so the caller can explain the problem in their own words and you still get a booked visit.

A normal day, and a Christmas Eve emergency

Picture Christmas Eve in Menifee. Relatives drove in from Perris and Wildomar, the house is full of guests, and the water heater quits. Nobody wants to cook or wash dishes without hot water. If your phone goes to voicemail, the family calls another company. With Clara, the call is answered on the first ring. She asks what is happening, where the heater is and whether water is still running. If it is, she walks the caller through closing the main shut-off valve. Then she books the earliest open slot, reads back the date and address, and asks for confirmation. You get an alert on your phone right away, and urgent calls can be transferred to you.
