What does Sid say to a traveller asking about Mahabaleshwar?
Here is a typical first chat, the same one that plays in the phone above. A traveller asks about Mahabaleshwar, 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 Mahabaleshwar ka family package hai? 2 adults 2 kids
- Sid Hi! 🌴 Yes, we have Mahabaleshwar family packages with hotel and transfers. Which dates are you looking at?
- Customer December last week
- 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 Mahabaleshwar 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 Pune know before automating WhatsApp?
Weekend trips to Mahabaleshwar and Lonavala and longer Goa and Kashmir holidays are compared across several agents. Sid learns your popular destinations, such as Mahabaleshwar, Goa and Kashmir, 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 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.
