What Janine does for a carpenter
- Answer. Picks up as Heartwood Carpentry & Joinery in two rings, any hour, and finds out what the caller needs in one question.
- Book. Takes the postcode, house number and street, and name, offers one slot at a time from your real availability, reads it back and texts the confirmation.
- Quote. Quotes only what is on your price list, with what it covers; anything else is a free quote visit or a message for the office.
- Message. If nobody is free, or the caller wants a person, she puts them through to you, and if you can’t pick up she takes the details and texts you at once.

Does Janine quote prices for carpenters and joiners?
Only the prices you give her. She never invents a figure: if something is not on your price list she says the office will confirm and takes a message. Call-out and fixed prices are quoted with what they cover, so a caller never hears a number on its own.
