Why answering in the caller's language matters in Jersey City

Jersey City has 302,013 residents, and 25.7% of them are Hispanic. Another 52,899 people speak Spanish at home, and 8.1% of all residents speak Spanish and limited English. That means a real share of your calls can come in Spanish, and a caller who feels misunderstood hangs up and calls the next roofer. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and stays in that language. The customer does not have to fight to explain the leak.

A normal day with Clara

It is a hot July afternoon. You are on a job in Bayonne and cannot pick up your phone. At 3:20 a woman calls from near Journal Square. She wants to sell her house and needs to know the roof's condition before she lists it. Clara asks for her name and the property address, checks the address against the Census address service, looks at your open slots, and offers the free inspection for Thursday at 9:00. She reads the date and address back and asks for confirmation. When you climb down the ladder, the summary is already on your phone, and a confirmation text is ready to send from your own number.
