How Home Services Professionals Use Jodie
Emergency Home Repair
The situation: A homeowner discovers water damage from a leaking dishwasher connection, or their boiler has stopped working on a cold evening. They call your number but you're finishing a job across town.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, asks what's happened, whether there's active water damage, and gets the property address. You get a text with the full picture so you can decide whether to head over straight away or schedule it for the morning.
Mid-Installation Call
The situation: You're fitting a kitchen and you've just positioned a worktop on the cabinets. Your phone rings with a new enquiry but you can't let go.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes their name and details, asks what work they need, and lets them know you'll call back once you're finished. The lead is waiting in your inbox when you down tools.
Renovation Quote Request
The situation: Someone finds your profile on Checkatrade or Google and calls to ask about a bathroom renovation. You are on another job and cannot answer.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the size of the bathroom, what fittings they want, their budget, and when they need it done. You get a detailed summary you can use to prepare a quote without a callback just for the basics.
After-Hours Landlord Call
The situation: A landlord calls at 8pm because a tenant has reported a broken kitchen tap and water is pooling under the sink. Your phone goes to voicemail, but they need an answer tonight.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the property address, finds out what the issue is, and confirms someone will be in touch. The message is marked urgent so it is at the top of your list first thing in the morning.
