What this call should accomplish

The office may be closed, but the caller still needs to know what happens next. Separate routine follow-up from calls that should try the roofing team now.

  • Uses the hours, message, transfer, and callback rules your team sets.

  • Keeps a message or callback next step when the chosen person does not answer.

  • Keeps roof, storm, leak, property, and claim details together.

  • Records the caller, location, reason for calling, and requested next step.

Questions worth asking
