Operator notes

NOTE: The visitor must enter their name to start a chat, so you'll have their name throughout.


Shields Buildings is a family business based in North Tawton, Devon. They design and build a range of buildings, such as timber car ports, garden offices, garden sheds and workshops. 


They deliver and install within a 2 hour radius of North Tawton, but would prefer to speak to the visitor in case they can offer this when they're further away. If the visitor is outside of 2 hours away, they can still deliver or have the visitor collect.


Our role is:

  1. Understand the requirements of the visitor
  2. Attempt to book the visitor onto a phone call, providing they appear to be based in England and interested in Shields Buildings' products (they no longer want us to schedule video calls)
  3. If the visitor wants to visit the display site, confirm that they can do this any time 7 days a week. However, if they'd like a member of staff on-site to assist them during the visit, they'd need to book a time for this. We would offer to do this for them in this instance.
  4. Direct visitors to the brochure download page (https://www.shieldsbuildings.co.uk/brochures/) if they don't want to book in a call or give details.
  5. Suggest the visitor use the online estimation tool (https://www.shieldsbuildings.co.uk/estimate-a-cost-for-your-dream-garden-building/) if they are just looking for a price and don't want any form of contact.
  6. Don't turn away a visitor if they are far away from North Tawton - they may still be able to have delivery or collect.
