The Solution

What We Built

A complete marketing and sales system — from audience research to automated lead qualification — built and deployed by one person.

Paid Social & Targeting

Meta ads (Facebook & Instagram) across different properties, target audiences, and regions. Reels and Stories creatives — some shot and edited in CapCut with voiceovers and transcription.

Social Media Marketing

New Instagram profile from scratch: photo shoot, content plan, visual design. Just 2 hours per week generating and scheduling 2 weeks of content ahead with daily posts and stories.

CRM & Sales Automation

Meta leads integrated into CRM via Albato. Chatbots ran 10 qualification scenarios based on property type and geolocation. Automated WhatsApp follow-ups for dormant leads.

Audience Research & Strategy

In-depth interviews and full avatar decomposition — pain points, needs, and decision triggers. Detailed audience portraits that drove all ad targeting and messaging decisions.

The Pipeline

Automated Customer Journey

Every lead was automatically qualified before reaching the broker — no manual screening needed.

Inside the Chatbot
WhatsApp Bot Conversation
Hi! Let me ask you a few questions to understand your request better and prepare a personalized property selection for you.
Can you please clarify — what are you looking for?
Investment Living Relocation
Investment
Great! What size apartment are you considering?
Studio (30–40 sqm) 1 Bed (50–60 sqm) 2 Bed (70–100 sqm)
What the Bot Collects
🎯
Purchase Purpose
Investment, personal living, or family relocation — determines which properties to show
📐
Property Preferences
Size, type, number of bedrooms — matched to available listings
Qualification Tags
Funnel stage, source campaign, and interest level — auto-tagged in CRM
🔔
Broker Notification
Pre-filled client card sent instantly — broker knows exactly what the lead wants
How it worked: Chatbots acted on behalf of the broker, conducting real-time qualification and follow-ups. By the time the broker received a lead, the client card was already filled with relevant information — allowing an immediate, personalized response.
WhatsApp Campaigns

Re-Engaging Leads via Wazzup

We used Wazzup to run targeted WhatsApp campaigns — sending new property offers, distress deals, and prelaunch announcements directly to segmented lead lists from the CRM.

📱
Segmented Broadcasts
Leads were segmented by interest (investment vs. living vs. relocation) and budget range. Each segment received tailored property offers matching their criteria — not a generic blast.
🏗️
New Launches & Distress Deals
Two campaign types performed best: prelaunch offers from top developers (urgency + exclusivity) and distress deals with below-market pricing (value-driven buyers).
🔄
Dormant Lead Revival
Leads who went cold after initial qualification were re-engaged with fresh offers. WhatsApp's high open rates made it significantly more effective than email for this audience.
