How Tree Service Companies Use Jodie
Ice Storm Damage
The situation: A homeowner calls after an ice storm. A large branch has snapped under the weight of ice and is blocking their driveway. They need someone today.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, takes the address, asks about the size of the branch, whether there is damage to the house or hydro lines, and how urgent the access issue is. You get a text with all the details so you can prioritize and respond fast.
Working at Height
The situation: You're in a harness 40 feet up removing a dead limb when your phone buzzes with a new inquiry.
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 Near Hydro Lines
The situation: A homeowner calls about a large maple leaning toward the hydro lines after winter damage. They think they need a city permit to remove it.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the tree species, approximate height, proximity to hydro lines and the house, and whether they know of any municipal bylaws. You get the full picture and can quote without a follow-up call.
After-Hours Winter Limb Break
The situation: A homeowner calls at 8pm after a heavy snow load caused a large limb to crack and hang over their walkway.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the address, asks about the size and position of the limb, 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.
