Why answering in the caller's language matters in Ontario

In Ontario, 68.6% of residents are Hispanic and 46.5% speak Spanish at home. Many people with a leak or a backed-up drain want to describe the problem in their own language. If the caller hears only English and hangs up, the job is lost. Clara opens the call in English, asks which language the caller prefers and continues in that language. For a company with many Spanish-speaking customers, that means fewer missed calls and less time spent translating messages.

A normal Sunday evening in Ontario

Picture a Sunday at 9 p.m. A family in a house near Ontario has only one bathroom, and the toilet is overflowing. They call your company. You are at home with your family and do not pick up, so the call goes to Clara. She asks what is happening, whether water is still running and where the problem is. If water keeps flowing, she guides the caller to close the shut-off valve behind the toilet and to stay away from water near outlets. Then she checks your calendar, offers the first free slot and reads back the address. You get an alert right away and decide whether to take the call or leave the visit booked for the morning. The same kind of call comes in from Chino or Upland, so coverage in nearby cities matters too.
