How Arborists Use Jodie
Storm Damage Emergency
The situation: A homeowner calls after a storm. A large gum tree branch has come down across their driveway and they cannot get their car out. They need someone urgently.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, takes the address, asks about the size of the branch, whether there is damage to the house or fences, and how urgent the access issue is. You get a text with all the details so you can prioritise and respond fast.
Up a Tree, New Enquiry
The situation: You're harnessed 10 metres up removing a dead limb when your phone buzzes with a new enquiry.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the caller's name, tree details, and what they need done. She lets them know you will call back once you are safely on the ground. The lead is in your inbox when you climb down.
Tree Removal Quote
The situation: A homeowner calls about a large gum tree near the house. It is dropping branches and they think it might need council approval to remove.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the tree species, approximate height, proximity to the house and fences, and whether they are aware of any protected vegetation or council requirements. You get the full picture and can quote without ringing back.
After-Hours Dangerous Branch
The situation: A homeowner calls at 8pm worried about a large branch hanging dangerously over their back deck after high winds.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the address, asks about the size and position of the branch, and whether anyone is at risk. She marks it as urgent and lets the caller know you will be in touch first thing. The message is waiting when you start your day.
