“Bernard asked whether the subscription would be all right in a bungalow; Siobhan Ncube said goodbye.”
The call
Oldest line at the top; it reads downward like a script.
Siobhan Ncube
Hello there! Siobhan Ncube, The National Council of Domestic Threshold Surveyors. It's about your driveway surface, and I'm so glad I caught you.
Bernard
Well, now, isn't that nice. I don't get many calls, so take your time. The driveway, you say? I'd have to go and look at it, mind, but it's a comfort to have somebody keeping an eye on these things.
Siobhan Ncube
That's brilliant, thank you, I'll be quick. Your twice-yearly chipping top-up just arrives on its own, and the renewal ticks over quietly, so it's pure convenience.
Bernard
Chipping! Oh, like on a boat, you mean. Very good of you to think of it. And it just arrives by itself, does it? Does it need signing for, or does it go round the side? Only the gate back there is a funny one.
Siobhan Ncube
Lovely question, brilliant, I love that. So, threshold compliance is what we're looking at here, it's all about continuous coverage round your surface.
Bernard
Threshold compliance. Right you are. Now is that the sort of thing the council writes to you about? I've had a letter about my hedge and I've not opened it yet, it's been sitting there a fortnight.
Siobhan Ncube
Honestly, that's such helpful feedback. So just to confirm, shall I pop you down for continuous coverage, and I'll read the rolling renewal back to you as we go?
Bernard
Yes, well, I'm very interested, I am. Only could you hold on a moment while I find my glasses? They're somewhere about and I can't read a thing without them. What was the renewing bit again?
Siobhan Ncube
The renewal just rolls along quietly twice a year, it's really handy. Would you like to go ahead and say yes to that?
Bernard
That does sound handy, I must say. Mind you, would it be all right in a bungalow? Only I've heard some of these things don't take to single storeys, and I'd not want it turning up and being disappointed.
Siobhan Ncube
Right. I'll let you get back to your afternoon. Goodbye.
What the script said
The beats the caller had to get through.
- Open by confirming you've reached the householder responsible for the driveway surface.
- Explain the twice-yearly chipping top-up and its quiet automatic renewal as pure convenience.
- Dismiss the objection that nothing needs chipping by citing threshold compliance.
- Ask for the yes to continuous coverage and confirm the rolling renewal aloud.
