Where do coaching institutes in Pune get their leads?
Most coaching institutes in Pune hear from customers through Facebook and Instagram lead ads, Google search and your website and JustDial and Sulekha, plus referrals and walk-ins. Rainmaqer AI brings them into one WhatsApp inbox, and Sid replies to each within seconds, whatever the source and whatever the hour.
| Lead source | How it reaches Sid |
|---|---|
| Facebook and Instagram lead ads | Connected directly. Sid messages the student or parent within seconds. |
| Google search and your website | Website forms and the WhatsApp button open a chat with Sid. |
| JustDial and Sulekha | Connected directly, so tuition and coaching enquiries get an instant reply. |
| Seminars, school visits and pamphlets | A QR code opens WhatsApp, and Sid follows up with batch details. |
| Referrals from current students | Your team adds them in Deal Home, and Sid takes over the follow-up. |
Every source on the integrations page connects directly. Portals that aren't listed can send leads through Google Sheets or a webhook.
What does Sid say to a parent asking about Deccan?
Here is a typical first chat, the same one that plays in the phone above. A parent asks about Deccan, Sid answers, asks the questions your best salesperson would ask and books the next step, all within a few minutes. Your team sees the whole conversation in the shared inbox.
- Customer MHT-CET batch ki fees kya hai? Deccan centre
- Sid Hi! 👋 Thanks for asking about our MHT-CET batch at Deccan. Is this for you or your child, and which class or stage are you at?
- Customer Mere bete ke liye, 12th mein hai
- Sid Thank you! Here are the MHT-CET batch timings and fee details for Deccan 📄 Would you like a demo class this week? [Book demo class · Talk to a counsellor]
- Customer Book demo class
- Sid Booked ✅ Demo class on Saturday at 4 pm, Deccan centre. I'll send the address and a reminder on Friday.
Example conversation. Names, prices and timings come from your own business once Sid is set up.
What should coaching institutes in Pune know before automating WhatsApp?
Students and parents compare classes around Deccan, Sadashiv Peth and Kothrud for JEE, NEET and MHT-CET, and ask for demo classes first. Sid learns your coaching hubs, such as Deccan, Kothrud and Sadashiv Peth, along with your prices, timings and documents, so its answers sound local, not generic.
Sid replies in English, Hindi and Hinglish. If many of your customers in Pune write in Marathi, ask us on WhatsApp before you start so we can confirm what works for your account.
How does Sid follow up until the deal closes?
Sid follows up on its own, at the right time, using what the parent asked about. Inside the 24-hour window it replies freely; after that it uses your approved WhatsApp templates. It stops the moment the parent replies, books or says no, and your team can take over at any point.
- Same minute: Sid replies with the course, batch timings and fees, and asks the student's class and goal.
- Same chat: A demo class or counselling session is booked and confirmed.
- Before the demo: Reminders with the address or the online class link.
- After the demo: Follow-ups with the parent on fees, instalments and seat deadlines, until they enrol or say no.
