How does the annual rebooking engine work?+
Every completed chimney service enters a 12-month automated cycle. Customers receive seasonal content, preparation reminders, and rebooking offers timed to fill your calendar before peak season. The system tracks rebooking rates, identifies customers who have not rebooked after two reminder cycles, and can escalate with a safety-focused final message. Rebooking rates of 40 to 50% are typical within the first year of implementation.
Can Yinez explain chimney safety without being alarmist?+
Yinez is configured with factual, educational language about chimney maintenance. She explains why annual inspection matters using data and CSIA guidelines rather than scare tactics.
