Within 15 Seconds (Sahyak Ingestion)

The buyer just hit 'Contact Developer' on 99acres. Their phone is in their hand. Sahyak delivers an automated WhatsApp message with the official brochure. The buyer is impressed, opens the PDF, and saves your number.

⏳

After 30 Minutes

The buyer has clicked on 3 other listings and answered a call from a rival brokerage firm. When your agent finally calls, the buyer says: "Which project was this again? Send me details on WhatsApp, I'm in a meeting."

🛑

After 24 Hours

Truecaller tags the call as 'Spam / Telemarketer'. The buyer rejects the incoming call without picking up. Your marketing budget on that inquiry is 100% wasted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about speed-to-lead benchmarks and response time optimization.

Why is speed-to-lead critical for Indian property portals?

When a homebuyer inquires on 99acres or Magicbricks, their inquiry is typically distributed to 3 to 5 rival channel partners or brokers. The first agent to initiate contact via WhatsApp or phone call captures 71% of all subsequent site visit appointments.

What does the Harvard Business Review speed-to-lead study reveal?

The landmark study found that contacting a lead within 5 minutes results in a 21x higher qualification rate compared to contacting them after 30 minutes. After 1 hour, the odds of meaningful qualification drop by over 600%.

How does Sahyak achieve sub-15 second response times?

Sahyak connects via real-time webhooks directly to 99acres, Magicbricks, Housing.com, and Facebook Lead Ads. The moment an inquiry is posted, Sahyak can trigger an instant, automated WhatsApp welcome message with the project brochure and price list before competitors have even opened their email.

Can I use Sahyak's speed-to-lead automation on the Free Starter tier?

Yes. The Free Starter tier includes 10 automated WhatsApp outreach actions alongside native 1-tap mobile calling and webhook ingestion for up to 20 leads at ₹0.
