Cleaning: after-hours call script

A script for calls that come in nights and weekends.

Source: Hive playbook

Why it works

After-hours callers are often the most urgent and the most ready to book. Voicemail loses them.

Steps

  1. 1

    Answer every time (AI or answering service).

  2. 2

    Sort urgent vs can-wait.

  3. 3

    Urgent: dispatch or call back per your on-call rules.

  4. 4

    Can-wait: book first slot tomorrow.

Prompt / script

After-hours prompt:
"Thanks for calling [BUSINESS]. Our office is closed but I can help right now. What's going on?"
If urgent (a move-out or guests arriving this week): follow on-call rules, tell them when to expect a call back.
Else: "I can put you on the schedule first thing. Is [MORNING] or [AFTERNOON] better?"
