What this call demonstrates

Here the assistant names its limit in the middle of a sale: the caller wants a number, and a number is exactly what he does not get. Rather than guess, it pencils the slot in without obligation — it costs nothing if the price turns out wrong.

How it endsNo price quoted, foreman to call back from 3:30 PM, slot penciled in without obligation.

The call, turn by turn

These calls are scripted and run entirely in your browser. There is no telephony connection. Where a recording is on file, it is played from our own server; otherwise the reading voice built into your device takes over — that one sounds very different from device to device, and it is not the sound of the assistant.

    Palmer Motor Repairs, good afternoon. The service desk is closed until one — I'll take down what you need. I'll make a few notes, just say so if you'd rather I didn't. What's it about?

  3. Caller

    My timing belt is due. Golf seven, diesel, two thousand sixteen. What does that cost with you?

  4. Assistant

    I'm not going to quote you a figure. On that engine it depends on whether the water pump goes with it — and only a mechanic can see that. I'll book you a callback with an estimate for this afternoon. Alright?

    Limit reached

  5. Caller

    Yes, fine. I'd also need a slot while we're at it.

  6. Assistant

    We can do that. For a timing belt I allow a full working day. Tuesday or Wednesday next week would be free, dropping off between seven and eight.

    Calendar — cambelt: one working day off the road, slots free from next week

  7. Caller

    Tuesday. But only if the price is right.

  8. Assistant

    Then I'll pencil in Tuesday and mark it unconfirmed. If the estimate this afternoon doesn't suit you, the slot simply falls away. Which number should the callback go to?

    Calendar — penciled in: Tue 7:00 AM–8:00 AM drop-off, unconfirmed pending callback

The assistant invented no number. It penciled the slot in so that it costs nothing if the price doesn't suit — and put everything into the callback that the foreman needs for it.
