MISSED CALLS & AFTER HOURS
A first hello.
Not another voicemail.
When you’re busy or the doors are closed, a caller still needs a next step. Answer the enquiry, understand what matters and keep the useful details together.

- Caller: Hi, two wood panels in our backyard fence are leaning. Can you arrange a repair?
- Receptionist: I can create a repair job for the crew. Can they reach the panels from the side of the house?
- Caller: Yes, it's clear. The gate still opens.
- Receptionist: What's the address?
- Caller: Four Sample Street, Boston.
- Receptionist: And your name and an email for the job?
- Caller: Sam Taylor. Sam at example dot com.
- Receptionist: Sam at example dot com. Two leaning wood panels at Four Sample Street, with clear side access. Is that right?
- Caller: That's right.
- Receptionist: I'll add that to the job system.
- Receptionist: The repair job's created, Sam, with your contact and access details.
- Caller: Does that mean someone's scheduled to come out?
- Receptionist: Not yet. The crew still needs to agree on a time and price with you. Your job is on their list.
- Caller: Okay, thanks.
