Why answering in the caller's language matters here
In New York, 1,810,363 people speak Spanish at home, and 10.5 % of Spanish speakers say they speak English less than very well. A caller who hears only English may hang up and try another company. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and then continues in Spanish, English or Portuguese.
A normal day with Clara in New York
It is Monday morning after a strong storm. Between 7 and 10 a.m., 15 calls come in: some from Brooklyn, some from Queens, and one from Hoboken across the river. You are on a roof in Staten Island and cannot pick up. Clara answers every call, asks for the name and address, checks whether there is an active leak, and transfers urgent calls to you. The rest are saved as leads with a summary in your language, and each customer already has a date for the free inspection. When you climb down, you review the list and start with the urgent ones. No call was lost because nobody answered.
