Why answering in the caller's language matters in Bridgeport

In Bridgeport, 35.7 percent of households speak Spanish at home, and many homeowners calling about a leak or an old roof want to explain the problem in their own language. If the call goes to voicemail or to someone who only speaks English, many callers hang up and try the next company. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and continues in Spanish, English or Portuguese. You do not have to hire anyone extra for that.

A normal day when you are on the roof

Picture a Monday after a wind and rain storm. Your crew is on a house near Trumbull Center and you are in the truck with a load of material. Fifteen calls come in before lunch: a homeowner in Bridgeport with a drip in the upstairs bedroom, a man in Shelton who wants an inspection, and the owner of a small building with a flat roof who thinks water is coming in at the parapet. Clara answers every one, confirms name and address, checks your open slots, and books inspections. An urgent call, like an active leak, can be transferred to your phone. When you climb down the ladder, each call is already in your simple CRM with a summary in your language.
