Ask what the caller already has and where the work is located.
Some tasks belong to a different trade.
Use your exclusions so the receptionist does not accept work outside your services.

THE NEXT SYSTEM IN YOUR WORKFLOW
A prepared brief, with a path to your existing tools.
A future job-management connection should preserve multiple tasks inside one enquiry rather than creating unrelated bookings.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you get started.
Can callers give a list of jobs?
Yes. The example collects separate tasks in one request so the owner can assess the visit as a whole.
Can it explain what work I do not take?
Use explicit exclusions in the approved business information. Unclear requests should remain for review.
