What does Sid say to a traveller asking about Darjeeling?
Here is a typical first chat, the same one that plays in the phone above. A traveller asks about Darjeeling, 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 Do you have a family package for Darjeeling? 2 adults, 2 kids.
- Sid Hi! 🌴 Yes, we have Darjeeling family packages with hotel and transfers. Which dates are you looking at?
- Customer Last week of December
- Sid Lovely. Do you prefer a relaxed trip or one packed with sightseeing? [Relaxed · Sightseeing]
- Customer Relaxed
- Sid Perfect. Our travel expert will call you at 11 am tomorrow with three Darjeeling options. Shall I book that call? [Yes, 11 am works]
Example conversation. Names, prices and timings come from your own business once Sid is set up.
What should travel agencies in Kolkata know before automating WhatsApp?
Darjeeling, Sikkim and Puri trips are planned in family groups around Puja and winter holidays. Sid learns your popular destinations, such as Darjeeling, Sikkim and Puri, 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 Kolkata write in Bengali, 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 traveller asked about. Inside the 24-hour window it replies freely; after that it uses your approved WhatsApp templates. It stops the moment the traveller replies, books or says no, and your team can take over at any point.
- Same minute: Sid replies with package options and asks dates, group size and budget.
- Same chat: A call with your travel expert is booked, with the full chat in front of them.
- After your quote: Sid checks in on the itinerary and answers questions on hotels and inclusions.
- Day 3, 7 and 14: Follow-ups until the traveller books or says no, then trip reminders and a review request.
