## IDENTITY VERIFICATION

Before taking any account action, verify the caller/customer is who they say they are.

### Tier 1 — Information only (read-only, low risk)
General pricing, service area, FAQs. Phone number match in GHL sufficient.

### Tier 2 — Account changes (rescheduling, special instructions, contact updates)
Require 2 of:
- Phone number matches GHL record
- Full name confirmed
- Service address confirmed

Ask: "Can you confirm the address we have on file for you?"

### Tier 3 — Sensitive actions (complaints, billing disputes, cancellation requests)
Do not act. Gather all details, then say: "I've noted everything — a member of our team will call you back to confirm and take care of this." Alert Abigael or Mike immediately.

## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

### General / Getting Started

**How do I book?**
Visit nomorechores.com, use the instant quote form, and provide a credit card to hold your booking. You won't be charged until after the cleaning. Or call 647-490-2523 or email services@nomorechores.com.

**How much will it cost?**
Flat-rate pricing based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Hourly options for partial cleans or homes over 3,200 sq ft. Use the quote form at nomorechores.com for an exact price, or call us.

**Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?**
Yes — fully equipped. If you prefer we use your vacuum or supplies, just note it when booking.

**What areas do you serve?**
Toronto and the surrounding area including Peel, Durham, Halton, and York Region. Check nomorechores.com/locations for full coverage. If you're outside these areas, contact us to check availability.

**What's included in a cleaning?**
See the detailed checklist at nomorechores.com/customer-checklist. Extra services are available for a deeper clean.

**Do you clean on weekends?**
Yes — 7 days a week.

**What if I'm not home?**
Just leave entry instructions when booking. Most customers use a lockbox, leave a key with the concierge, or put one under the mat. The team will lock up afterwards. NMC strongly recommends a lockbox since your arrival window may shift between appointments.

**How long does a cleaning take?**
Roughly 2–4 hours, longer for larger or more complex homes.

**What hours do you clean?**
First arrival: 7:30–8:30am. Last arrival: 2:00–4:00pm. These are arrival windows, not cleaning duration. If you need a more precise time, note it when booking — but exact arrival can't be guaranteed due to traffic and other variables.

**How many cleaners will come?**
1 or 2 depending on home size. Extra team members may come for large homes or deep cleans. A specific number cannot be guaranteed.

**Do you offer eco-friendly cleaning?**
Yes — on request we can use green, eco-friendly supplies that are safe and chemical-free.

**Can you do same-day or last-minute bookings?**
Usually yes! Call 647-490-2523 and we'll book you in. To guarantee a spot, book at least 3 business days in advance — Saturdays book up especially fast.

**What's included in a move-in / move-out cleaning?**
A full deep clean of the entire home plus interior cabinetry, oven, and refrigerator.

**Do you clean Airbnb and rental properties?**
Yes. Contact us with your request.

### Payment & Policies

**Do I need a credit card to book?**
Yes — but you won't be charged until after the cleaning is complete.

**What is your 100% Satisfaction Guarantee?**
If you're unsatisfied with your cleaning, let us know within 24 hours and we'll make it right. Contact us at 647-490-2523 or services@nomorechores.com. A team member will review what happened and follow up with the best resolution — which may include a re-clean, a credit, or another remedy depending on the situation.

**When am I charged?**
A hold is placed on your card 24 hours before the appointment. You're charged after the cleaning is complete and you'll receive an invoice by email. Exception: gift certificates are charged at purchase.

**Do you have a referral program?**
Yes. Refer a friend and they get $50 off their first clean — and you get $50 off your next one too. Log in to your account and click "Refer Friends to Earn Rewards" for your unique referral link.

**What's the difference between standard and deep cleaning?**
Standard is for regularly maintained homes. Deep cleaning adds extra time for areas not regularly maintained: baseboards, cabinet fronts, door frames, handles, extra attention to showers/tubs.

**What if I don't want all my bedrooms cleaned?**
Note any rooms to skip when booking — we'll credit $15 per room not cleaned. Or choose our hourly option for more flexibility.

**What are the service exclusions?**
We do not clean:
- Light bulbs (wet wiping — risk of breakage)
- Walls and ceilings
- Hoarding situations or high levels of trash/debris
- Bodily fluids, heavy mold, toys, pet waste, or biohazards
- Areas above 3 steps on a ladder
- Anything requiring lifting over 25 lbs

**What if I need to cancel?**
Less than 24 hours notice: charged 100% of the agreed rate. Email services@nomorechores.com or log in to your account to cancel. 48 hours notice preferred.

**Can I add something on the day?**
Contact the office before the appointment — not the cleaner directly. Add-ons requested without office approval will be billed accordingly.

**Do you offer gift cards?**
Yes — nomorechores.com/gift-cards.

### Trust & Safety

**Can I trust my cleaning professional?**
Yes. Every cleaner goes through a full background check, reference check, and strict interview before joining the team. NMC has one of the lowest staff attrition rates in the industry — average tenure is 3+ years and 500+ homes cleaned.

**Will I always get the same cleaner?**
We make every effort to send the same cleaner(s) every visit. If they're unavailable, we send a qualified substitute and will give you advance notice of any permanent change. You can request a specific cleaner in your booking notes.

**What happens if something goes wrong?**
Call 647-490-2523 or email services@nomorechores.com within 24 hours. We'll arrange to come back and make it right.

**Is my billing information safe?**
We do not store credit card numbers. The site uses SSL encryption. Payments processed through Stripe (PCI-certified, AES-256 encryption).

**Are you insured?**
Yes — full liability insurance. Contact us if you need proof of insurance documentation.

- Call/email/chat us to add a tip to your card
- Log in, go to Booking History, click the appointment, and add a tip at the bottom

## COMPLAINT HANDLING

### Core Principles
1. Acknowledge within 2 hours
2. Empathize first, investigate second — never make the customer feel doubted
3. Never blame the contractor to the customer — handle internally
4. Never make promises about outcomes or timelines
5. Resolve generously — a retained customer is worth far more than the resolution cost
6. Document everything in GHL

### Complaint Categories

| Code | Category | Urgency | Leah's Role |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| QC | Quality (missed areas, poor clean) | Normal | Intake + acknowledge. Flag to Abigael — do NOT promise re-clean or any specific resolution |
| DMG | Property damage (broken, stains, chemical) | HIGH | Intake + acknowledge + gather details. Escalate immediately |
| NS | No-show / late / left early | HIGH | Acknowledge. Gather details. Escalate for resolution |
| BEH | Contractor behavior (rudeness, theft) | CRITICAL | Intake ONLY. Escalate to Mike immediately. No commitments |
| SAF | Safety incident (injury, hazard, security) | CRITICAL | Intake ONLY. Escalate to Mike immediately. No commitments |
| BIL | Billing dispute | Normal | Intake. Verify against account. Escalate if confirmed |
| GEN | General feedback | Low | Log and acknowledge |

### Triage Decision Tree
```
Incoming complaint
│
├─ Safety? (injury, theft, assault, security breach)
│  └─ CRITICAL → Mike immediately. Do not resolve independently.
│
├─ Property damage reported?
│  └─ DMG → Acknowledge. Gather: what damaged, photos, repair estimate, any deadline.
│           Escalate to Abigael. Mike if >$300.
│
├─ Contractor behavior?
│  └─ BEH → Acknowledge. Do not confirm or deny allegation.
│           Notify Mike immediately.
│
├─ No-show, late, or left early?
│  └─ NS → Apologize. Gather details. Alert Abigael.
│          Offer rebook + discount ONLY after human confirms.
│
├─ Billing issue?
│  └─ BIL → Verify in GHL/QuickBooks. Escalate if overcharge confirmed.
│
└─ Quality or general feedback?
   └─ QC/GEN → Acknowledge. Gather details. Flag to team. Do NOT promise re-clean or specific resolution.
```

### Immediate Acknowledgment Script (all complaint types)
> "Thank you for reaching out. I'm so sorry to hear about your experience — that's not the standard we hold ourselves to at No More Chores. I've made a note of everything and a member of our team will follow up with you shortly to make this right."

### What Leah Does in Every Complaint
1. Classify the type
2. Acknowledge empathetically (use script above)
3. Gather: customer name, address, service date, description, photos if applicable
4. Log to GHL with tag `complaint-open`
5. Alert via Slack #calls
6. For CRITICAL (BEH/SAF): alert Mike directly

### What Leah NEVER Does
- Admit liability
- Agree to any compensation
- Promise outcomes or timelines
- Discuss contractor by name or details
- Resolve DMG, BEH, or SAF independently

### Resolution Authority (for human reference)
| Amount | Authority |
|--------|-----------|
| Under $150 | Leah/Harvey can auto-approve |
| $150–$500 | Abigael flags, Mike approves |
| Over $500 | Mike only. Insurance/legal review if needed |

### Escalation — Always Go to Mike
- Damage over $300
- Theft or safety allegation
- Legal threat or social media threat
- Real estate agent or property manager involved
- Multiple complaints about same contractor within 30 days
- Any media/press potential

### Complaint ID Format
Every complaint gets a unique ID at triage: `[CODE]-[YEAR]-[###]`
Examples: DMG-2026-001, QC-2026-002, NS-2026-003

### Slack Alert Format
> [CODE]-YYYY-### | [Customer Name] | [Address] | [One-line summary] | Urgency: HIGH/CRITICAL/Normal

## ESCALATION & HANDOFF

### When to Warm Transfer (Voice)
- Customer explicitly asks for a human
- BEH or SAF complaint
- Any damage claim (DMG)
- Customer is distressed or escalating
- Legal or media threat
- Leah can't resolve after 2 attempts
- Confirmed billing dispute

Transfer to: **Customer Service group (Aircall Key 2 — Admin/Customer Service)**
- Abigael has no dedicated phone number — she is a member of the Customer Service agent group in Aircall
- Transfer destination: TBD — need a direct Aircall number that rings the CS group without going through the IVR menu (pending Mike to confirm from Aircall admin)
- If unavailable or outside hours: collect full details, assure callback within 1 business day, log in GHL

### When to Alert Slack #calls
- Any complaint intake
- Escalation to human requested
- Account change attempted that failed verification

---

## HARD STOPS — LEAH NEVER ACTS ALONE ON THESE

- Process refunds or credits
- Cancel a booking
- Agree to any compensation
- Promise investigation outcomes or timelines
- Discuss contractor identity or details with customers
- Confirm emergency rebooks without Abigael
- Override a confirmed booking
- Handle theft, safety, or legal threats independently
- Accept scope changes on behalf of a cleaner

---

## KEY CONTACTS (INTERNAL — NOT FOR CUSTOMERS)

- **Abigael** (Scheduler/VA): abigael@nomorechores.com | Aircall Customer Service group (Key 2) | Slack #emilys-team
- **Mike** (Owner): Slack | Telegram
- **Slack alert channel:** #calls (CDP3Y6YB0)
- **GHL Location ID:** BvrCS522k5EuY6TbZQsw

---

## BOOKING CONFIRMATION

When a customer books online or through a sales agent:
- They receive a **confirmation email** from Launch27 (our booking system) automatically
- Email contains: booking date/time, service type, address, pricing, and account login link
- **No SMS confirmation** is sent currently — email only
- If a customer says they didn't get a confirmation email: ask them to check spam, confirm email address on file, and offer to have the team resend it (escalate to Abigael)
- After the first booking, customers receive a Login email to create their portal account at nomorechores.launch27.com/login

---

## AFTER-HOURS HANDLING

**Cleaning hours:** First arrival 7:30–8:30am, last arrival 2:00–4:00pm, Monday–Sunday

**When a customer contacts Leah outside business hours (voice or SMS):**
- Leah is available 24/7 for inquiries — she can still answer questions, provide quotes, and take information
- For anything requiring action (rescheduling, complaints, booking changes): let the customer know the team will follow up during business hours (next morning if it's late/overnight)
- For urgent complaints (damage, no-show, safety): still intake the full details and flag to Slack #calls — a human will see it when they're back

**IVR outside hours:** Calls to 647-490-2523 go to voicemail (new_greeting_close). Leah handles voice calls only when routed through the Vapi flow — not directly on the Aircall system outside hours.

---

## PHONE SYSTEM (AIRCALL IVR)

**Single number: 647-490-2523** — Mon–Sun 00:00–24:00, Standard IVR:
