Sales Automation for Real Estate That Answers Every Portal Lead in Minutes

Enquiries arrive from four portals, two Facebook campaigns, a hoarding number and the site register. Someone exports the portal dump each morning and forwards numbers on WhatsApp to whoever is free. Visits are confirmed by phone and remembered by hand.

Every sales head can name the cost. Response time stretches to hours on a lead that cost real money, and buyers reward whoever calls first. Sunday walk-ins fall short of confirmations because nobody reminded anyone. When an executive resigns, the pipeline leaves with them.

Instant portal-lead acknowledgement

The buyer gets a WhatsApp message naming the project, the configuration and the person who will call. The enquiry is assigned by project and language, and a call task appears with a clock.

Site-visit confirmation and reminders

Setting a visit date triggers three messages: confirmation with the gallery address and a map pin, a reminder the previous evening, and a nudge two hours before. Anyone silent by the evening reminder joins a manual call list.

The post-visit follow-up ladder

Marking a visit complete starts a fixed sequence: same-evening thanks with the floor plan, the cost sheet on day two, a call task on day three, a construction-progress note on day seven. It stops the moment the buyer replies.

Dormant enquiry revival at launch

Enquiries that did not book stay segmented by budget and how far they travelled. When a tower opens or a price list changes, the matching segment gets a broadcast and past visitors get priority calls.

Booking-to-registration document chase

A signed booking form becomes a checklist: identity documents, address proof, loan sanction, agreement signing, registration date. Whatever is missing produces a buyer reminder and an executive task.

Each sequence is a trigger, a wait, a condition and an action. The trigger is an event on the record: enquiry created, visit date set, visit completed, stage moved to booked. The condition checks current state, so nothing reaches someone who has already replied, booked, or asked to be left alone. Two rules keep it sane: every sequence exits on a reply, and every sequence caps its touches.

Build two things in week one: the acknowledgement and the visit reminder. Both are cheap and measurable inside a fortnight. Add the post-visit ladder in week two, once you know which messages buyers answer. Hold the revival broadcast until you have a real launch to announce, because a message with nothing new to say burns the list.

Be honest about the limits, because property is relationship-led and over-automating it backfires. Never automate a price negotiation, a possession-delay explanation, or a reply to a construction-quality complaint. Never send congratulations before accounts confirms the booking. Keep the volume low: a buyer receiving four templated messages in a week concludes nobody is paying attention, the opposite of what a site visit establishes.

Five numbers run the function. First response time on portal leads, in minutes. The gap between visits booked and visits attended. Visit-to-booking conversion by project and executive, which exposes coaching gaps rather than lead-quality excuses. Revival bookings as a share of launch total. And cost per booking by source.
