Why answering in the caller's language matters in Tempe

In Tempe, 21,510 people speak Spanish at home, about 12% of residents. A homeowner who sees a water stain on the living room ceiling and hears only fast English may hang up and call the next company. Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and keeps going in that language, whether Spanish, English or Portuguese.

A normal day with Clara in Tempe

It is Sunday afternoon. A woman calls from Tempe, near Mill Avenue, because she sees a water stain on her ceiling after Saturday's rain. She speaks only Spanish. Clara takes the call, confirms her name and address, and explains that a free inspection is available. Clara checks your calendar, finds Tuesday at 9:00 a.m., reads the date and address back, and asks for confirmation. You get a call on your phone with a summary in your language. If the leak is active, Clara can transfer the call to you right away. Without Clara, that call is lost on Sunday and she calls Chandler or Mesa instead.
