What this call demonstrates

A Sunday call into an office that stays shut for another two days. The assistant promises nothing it cannot keep: the waiting-list place stands, the callback has a time, and the question only an instructor can answer is marked as one.

How it endsHoliday course full — waiting-list place 4 and a callback in the first opening hour.

The call, turn by turn

These calls are scripted and run entirely in your browser. There is no telephony connection. Where a recording is on file, it is played from our own server; otherwise the reading voice built into your device takes over — that one sounds very different from device to device, and it is not the sound of the assistant.

    Marsh Driving School, good afternoon. There's nobody in the office today — I'll take down what you need. I'll make a few notes, just say so if you'd rather I didn't.

  3. Caller

    I wanted to ask whether there's still a place on the summer holiday course. For my daughter.

  4. Assistant

    It's full. Twelve places, all gone. The waiting list is open though — shall I put your daughter on it?

    Course admin — summer holiday course: 12 places, all taken, waiting list open

  5. Caller

    Yes, please. What are the chances?

  6. Assistant

    I'm not going to give you a number for that. Nobody knows in advance how many drop out. What I can tell you is the position: your daughter would be fourth. And the school works down the list in order.

  7. Caller

    Good. Blakely, Lily Blakely. She's seventeen.

  8. Assistant

    On the list, position four. One thing a person needs to go through with you, though, not me: whether this course is the right one at seventeen, and which papers you need. That's flagged as an open question in the note.

    Waiting list — place 4: Lily Blakely, contact via her mother

  9. Caller

    And when will someone get in touch?

  10. Assistant

    The office opens Tuesday at four. I'll put your callback in the first hour — Tuesday between four and five. Which number? And your name?

    Callback list — Tuesday, first opening hour from 4:00 PM

  11. Caller

    Blakely as well, Karen. (515) 555-0707.

  12. Assistant

    Thank you. Tuesday between four and five on (515) 555-0707. And if nobody's been in touch by Wednesday: please call again. Then something has slipped through, and the school wants to know.

  13. Phone system

    Call ended. Length 2:38. Waiting list place and callback in the course records.

Note handed to the business

Caller
Karen Blakely, (515) 555-0707 — calling for her daughter Lily
Request
A place on the summer holiday course
Outcome
Course full (12 places). Waiting list place 4 recorded.
Callback
Tuesday between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM — the week's first opening hour
Left open
Whether the course is right at seventeen and what paperwork is needed. An instructor answers that.

On a Sunday nobody would have picked up and nobody would have called back; what would have remained is a number in the display on Tuesday that nobody can place any more. Instead the waiting list position stands, the callback has a time, and the question an instructor has to answer is marked as one.
