What this call demonstrates

The call that shows what an assistant actually sorts on: before any booking comes one question — smoke or no smoke. The answer decides, not the hour. It still hands over at the end, because the caller wants to know something only a fitter may say.

How it endsNext-morning slot in the calendar, then handed to the on-call fitter.

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.

    Incoming call from (503) 555-0118 — diverted after five rings.

    Ashworth Electrical, good evening. I'll take a few notes, just say so if you'd rather I didn't. What's happened?

  3. Caller

    Hi, good evening. Our lights have gone out at the shop. Well, half of them — the back store room is completely dark.

  4. Assistant

    Okay. Any burning smell anywhere? Or smoke?

  5. Caller

    No, nothing like that. The breaker tripped, and it won't go back in.

  6. Assistant

    Good, that's not an emergency then. If there'd been a burning smell I'd have put you straight through to the on-call engineer. You're Mills Bakery, 8 Church Lane, is that right?

  7. Caller

    That's us, yes.

  8. Assistant

    I could have someone there tomorrow morning, between half seven and nine. Does that work? Or do you need someone tonight?

    Calendar — free slot: Thu 7:30–9:00, fitter Baxter

  9. Caller

    Tomorrow morning is fine. We don't open until ten anyway.

  10. Assistant

    Right, tomorrow between half seven and nine then. You'll get a text confirmation on the number you're calling from. Who should my colleague ask for when he arrives?

    Calendar — booked: Thu 7:30–9:00 · Baxter · lighting fault, storeroom

  11. Caller

    Mills. Sarah Mills. And what if it gets worse overnight?

  12. Assistant

    Then just call this number again and say "emergency" — I'll put you straight through, no questions. Hold on — Mr Baxter is back now. Let me connect you briefly, he can tell you what you may safely try at the fuse box yourself.
