Why answering in the caller's language matters here

In St. Lucie County, 17.4% of residents aged 5 and older speak Spanish at home, and 24% of the population is Hispanic. Many callers about a leak or storm damage will want to talk in Spanish. If they hang up because no one answers in their language, that job is gone. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and continues in that language, so the caller does not have to search for someone who understands them.

A normal day in Port St. Lucie

It is Sunday afternoon after a storm in Port St. Lucie. A homeowner near Jensen Beach sees a water stain on the living room ceiling. She only speaks Spanish, and you are on a job in Fort Pierce and cannot answer. Clara picks up, asks which language she wants, takes her name, verifies the address and offers the free inspection. Clara checks your calendar, offers the first open slot on Monday and reads back the date and address for confirmation. You get a summary on your phone with the name, the problem and the time. When you leave the job, the appointment is already booked and the customer knows when you will arrive.
