    The Indian Sales Challenge

    In India's competitive business landscape, speed matters. A Mumbai-based real estate firm recently discovered that leads contacted within 2 minutes were 21x more likely to convert than those contacted after 30 minutes. Yet their sales team was averaging 4-hour response times, losing ₹18L+ monthly in missed opportunities.

    The problem? Traditional systems send emails that go unread for hours, or calls get missed during meetings. By the time sales teams respond, customers have already moved to competitors.

    How It Works: Intelligent Alert System

    Lead Scoring & Prioritization

    Not all leads are created equal. Our AI analyzes:

    • Intent signals: Questions about pricing, availability, timeline indicate high intent
    • Urgency markers: "Need urgently," "Today itself," "ASAP" trigger priority alerts
    • Engagement level: Detailed questions vs. casual browsing
    • Budget qualification: Budget matches with your offering
    • Previous interaction history: Returning leads get priority

    Smart Notification Delivery

    • Platform preference: WhatsApp (primary), Email (backup), SMS (urgent fallback)
    • Team routing: Right team member based on expertise, availability, location
    • Context richness: Full conversation summary, sentiment analysis, recommended approach
    • Action buttons: One-tap to call, message, or mark as contacted

    Follow-up Intelligence

    • Tracks if team member acknowledged notification
    • Escalates to manager if no response within threshold (configurable: 5-30 minutes)
    • Logs all actions in CRM automatically
    • Generates missed opportunity reports
