How to test it like an owner

Call the number and play a customer

  1. Pretend your AC just died, 2 a.m. style. Sound stressed. Mention someone elderly in the house and watch it change gears.
  2. Try to trip it up. Talk over it. Give your callback number wrong, then correct it. Mumble your address. Interrupt with a question mid-sentence.
  3. Ask it straight out: "am I talking to a robot?" It tells the truth. We insist on that.
  4. Give it a routine job too. A dripping faucet, next week sometime. Notice it books instead of panicking.
  5. Hang up whenever you want. It's a demo line. Call it five times. Bring your office manager in on speaker.
What to listen for: does it confirm the callback number back? Does it get the address right? Does it ask the safety questions you'd want asked? Does it sound like something you'd let answer for your company's name? That last one is the whole test.

Or listen to real calls first
