Why answering in the caller's language matters in Concord

About 15.8 percent of Concord residents are Hispanic, and 12.4 percent of residents speak Spanish at home. A homeowner who calls your company and hears only English may hang up and call another roofer. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and continues in that language. The customer feels heard from the first second, and you do not lose the job to a language barrier.

A normal Saturday at your company

It is 7:40 on Saturday morning. A storm came through overnight, and Mr. Hall, who lives near Harrisburg, sees a drip over his kitchen ceiling. He calls your number while you are on another job in Kannapolis. Clara answers, asks for his name and address, and confirms the house is inside your service area. Because water is coming in now, Clara can transfer the call to your cell phone. If it is not urgent, Clara checks your calendar, offers the first open slot this week, reads the date and address back, and asks for confirmation. You get a notification with the summary when the call ends. No caller goes unanswered, even when you are up on a roof with your phone in your pocket.
