This is documentation of what she actually does — configured to your services, your calendar, your rules.
Penny answers 24/7. After-hours emergencies go into your on-call slots or get warm-transferred under your rules; routine calls get booked for business hours.
Penny picks up on the first ring — nights, weekends, lunch breaks, and when you’re already on the other line.
She checks real availability, offers slots, and writes the appointment straight into the calendar you already use.
Name, number, address, and the reason they called — logged and pushed to your CRM before they hang up.
Hours, pricing, service areas, “are you open today?” — Penny answers FAQs and escalates the calls that need you.
Appointments land in your calendar, leads flow into your CRM, and your team gets pinged — automatically, the moment a call ends.
Still curious? Penny can answer your questions too — give her a call.
Yes — that’s the job. She triages the symptom (no-cool, no-heat, airflow, noise), captures the address and callback number, and books the call into your emergency slots. Anything you flag as a safety risk, like a gas smell, she warm-transfers to you immediately.
She’s set up on your services, so she speaks your customers’ language — no-cool calls, tune-ups, refrigerant leaks, ductwork. She won’t diagnose a bad capacitor over the phone (neither should anyone), but she captures the symptoms so your tech shows up prepared.
How Penny introduces herself is your choice. What we don’t do is pretend: if a caller asks whether she’s a real person, Penny says she’s an automated assistant — and then keeps right on booking the job. Most callers care that the call got answered, not who answered it.
Yes — Penny is bilingual. She answers in English or Spanish, matching the language the caller uses, so Spanish-speaking customers get the same instant booking experience.
She warm-transfers urgent calls to you or your on-call tech and takes a detailed message for everything else — then texts you the summary instantly, so nothing rides on a voicemail nobody checks.
