The Kolkata angle for coaches

Durga Puja week (5-6 days in October) sees 4-6× the normal load; businesses without WhatsApp automation get overwhelmed and lose 30%+ of festive demand.

Lead magnet downloads but no conversation

Someone downloads your free PDF, never hears from you again, never converts. Without an automated follow-up sequence, 90% of lead-magnet leads go cold.

Discovery calls become free coaching

Without paid intake or qualification, you spend 30 minutes telling someone they need help, not closing them. Charging ₹500-2000 for the discovery call filters time-wasters and validates intent.

Cohort and 1-1 mixed in one inbox

Group cohort students message in the same WhatsApp where new prospects do. Important conversations get buried. Founder coaches lose deals because they replied to the cohort first.

Language + voice in Kolkata

Bengali-Hindi-English mix; older customer base prefers Bengali; younger customers comfortable in English.

Doggu's voice agent auto-detects Bengali, Hindi, English and switches mid-conversation if the caller does. WhatsApp templates can be approved in any of the languages your customers actually use.

How Doggu fits Kolkata coaches

Lead-magnet to WhatsApp drip

Turn downloads into discovery calls

Lead magnet asks for phone, not just email. Within 60 seconds, an AI welcome on WhatsApp delivers the resource. Days 1, 3, 7, 14: a structured sequence that surfaces the discovery-call CTA when intent peaks.

Paid discovery booking

Charge before you spend the hour

Discovery call booking flow includes a Razorpay payment step. Calendar slot only confirms after payment. ₹500-2000 filter cuts no-shows from ~40% to <8%.

Cohort segmentation

Separate the active students from prospects

Tags + filtered inbox views. Existing students in one view, prospects in another. Replies prioritised correctly without thinking about it.

1-on-1 booking pages

Branded scheduling without Calendly

Your own /book page with your face, your services, your pricing. Razorpay-integrated. Single-link share on Instagram, LinkedIn, WhatsApp profile.
