"Hi, our hot water's gone cold. Can someone come out tomorrow?"
- Understood the job
- Found a free slot tomorrow morning
- Job booked & confirmation texted
Every missed call is a job for the next name on the list.
When someone has a leak or a dead power point, they want a person on the line now. If you can't pick up, they keep scrolling and ring someone who can.
Home for dinner, still getting calls
Evenings and weekends are when homeowners finally get round to calling. If it goes to voicemail, the job often goes to whoever answers next.
Driving to the next site
You can't quote a job from behind the wheel. A quick chat that could have been a booking turns into phone tag.
The ladder problem
It's 10am. You're mid-job with both hands busy. The phone keeps ringing.
A homeowner calls because half the power points in their kitchen have stopped working. You're on another job and can't answer, so they try the next electrician on Google. With SimplySpeak, the call is picked up straight away, the fault is noted and the visit is booked into your calendar before you've climbed down.

Hi, half the power points in my kitchen just stopped working. Can someone come out?

Tomorrow at 8 is perfect.
SimplySpeak10:15

The after-hours call
It's 8:30pm. You've knocked off. A customer has water coming up the drain.
A blocked drain can't wait until morning, but you're at home with your family. With SimplySpeak, the caller gets calm first steps, the job details are taken, and your on-call contact is alerted straight away so the right person can call back.

Our only toilet is blocked and water's coming up the drain. Can anyone help tonight?
SimplySpeak20:36
That sounds urgent. If you can, turn off the stop valve behind the toilet. I'm alerting our on-call plumber now so they can call you back.
Caller20:37
Okay, water's off. Thanks.
SimplySpeak20:37
Great. I've passed on your address and what's happening. They'll call you on this number shortly.

The Saturday quote
It's Saturday morning. Homeowners are planning their projects. You're not at a desk.
Weekends are when people finally sit down to plan the paint job they've put off all year. If nobody answers, they fill in three quote forms and go with whoever calls first. With SimplySpeak, they get an answer on the first ring and a site visit on the calendar.

Hi, I'd like a quote to paint the outside of a three-bedroom house.
SimplySpeak09:12
Happy to help. We can come out to measure up on Monday at 4pm or Tuesday at 10am. Which works better?
Caller09:13
Monday at 4, please.
SimplySpeak09:13
Booked for Monday at 4pm. You'll get a text with the details.

The other language
It's 6pm. A new customer calls, and they'd rather speak Spanish.
Their air conditioning is running but not cooling, and they're more comfortable explaining the problem in Spanish. Without someone who speaks it, the call gets awkward and they hang up. With SimplySpeak, the call is answered in Spanish, the issue is noted and the service visit is booked.

Wednesday works.
