Objective

This procedure outlines the appropriate handing all customer leads received through email, chat, text messaging or scheduling platforms are handled with urgency and professionalism by prioritizing live phone contact over email communication during business hours of 8am to 8pm.
 

1. Applicable Lead Sources

This Procedure applies to all leads coming from:

•    Gmail LSAs

         - Also used for Hatch cross-referencing

2. Handling Leads During Business Hours (8 AM – 8 PM)

If a phone number is provided:

 

✅ Call the customer immediately.
🚫 Do NOT email the customer instead of calling.

Live booking is the goal. Emailing first during business hours when a phone number is available is not permitted.


Please Note: If a customer texts, respect their time. They may only be able to text due to work or personal matters.

     Send the following text template for HATCH: 


Hi, this is [Insert Name] with Frank Gay Services/Integrity Home Solutions. Thank you for reaching out! I'm available to give you a call now, are you free to talk?


If customer wants to resume text messaging, please utilize the approved Text Messaging Templates with the date of 04.2025 – VH, to engage into conversation with the customer


Send the following message in Gmail LSAs since customer's most likely will not provide any information, but please follow section 5 for Cross-Referencing: 

 


Good afternoon! I’m [Insert Name]! Thank you for reaching out, I’d love to help. For us to provide a quote we would need to send one of our licensed, certified and insured technicians to do an assessment. Please provide your First and Last name as well as a good number for me to contact you.

 

 

Please Note: Once you receive the customer's phone number, CSR must call the customer.

3. How to call the Customer if they do not have a profile in Service Titan

DO NOT manually enter the customer’s phone number inside Five9.

  • Search the name of Digital Team inside of Frank Gay Service Titan. Then select the Digital Team to go to the customer profile.

 





 

 

  • On the profile, go to Contact Methods and select the pencil icon to edit.

  • Then “Add Contact Method” and select “Phone,” to enter the customer’s phone number.

  • Once the phone number is added, click on the phone number so you can utilize Click to Dial inside of Service Titan to read it through Five9.
     

Please Note: You must create a New Customer profile if the customer wants to move forward with booking. DO NOT edit Digital Team.
 

  • Once the new profile is created or you leave a voice message for the customer, you will delete the phone number you entered inside of the Digital Team customer profile.

THE ABOVE STEP IS NOT TO BE USED FOR HATCH LEADS. CALL THE CUSTOMER THROUGH THE HATCH SYSTEM!
