Design Beautiful Spaces While WhatsApp Manages Your Clients
Stop drowning in client status calls. Automate consultation bookings, project milestone updates, design approvals, and payment remindersโso you can focus on creating stunning designs.
Tire-Kickers Waste Your Time — Hours spent on site visits and initial consultations for prospects who were just "exploring options" or had unrealistic budgets from the start
"What's Happening?" Anxiety Calls — Projects run 3-6 months. Between milestones, anxious clients bombard you with "what's the status?" calls instead of letting you actually design
Endless Design Revision Cycles — Small changes cascade into major redesigns. Each family member has different opinions. What was "approved" gets reopened weeks later
Site Visit Scheduling Chaos — Coordinating site visits with clients, contractors, and your schedule becomes a full-time admin job. Dates are proposed, forgotten, and rescheduled
Payment Milestone Delays — Design fees tied to milestones. Clients delay approvals, which delays payments. You're financing their indecision with your time and cash flow
Portfolio Doesn't Convert Leads — Beautiful Instagram portfolio attracts visitors who browse, appreciate, but never inquire. Your design skill exceeds your sales process

Hi, I saw your work on Instagram. I need an interior designer for my new 3BHK flat.
Hi! Thank you for reaching out to Studio Vaastu!
I'm Arun Sharma, and I'd love to help create your dream home.
To understand your project better, please share:
1๏ธโฃ Property type & location?
2๏ธโฃ Approximate carpet area (sq ft)?
3๏ธโฃ Project status:

C) Renovation of existing home
4๏ธโฃ Estimated interior budget:

JOURNEY: Initial Inquiry Qualification
TRIGGER: New contact messages
STEP 1: Send welcome + qualification questions
STEP 2: Capture project details
STEP 3: If budget matches, offer consultation booking
STEP 4: If budget too low, share DIY resources
STEP 5: Schedule follow-up for 3 months if "just exploring"
How it works: Qualification happens before you invest time in site visits. Budget, timeline, and scope filters out tire-kickers. Qualified leads get immediate consultation slots. Low-budget inquiries get helpful resources (building goodwill for future referrals). This saves 5-10 hours weekly on unqualified meetings.
Workflow tip: Set different response paths based on budget ranges. Turnkey projects Rs.40L+ get premium attention, smaller projects get consultation-only offers.

ACTION: Send project timeline info

Workflow tip: Track which FAQs trigger most. If "charges" is asked constantly, make pricing more prominent in your Instagram bio or initial message.

How it works: Clients come prepared = meetings are productive. You get inspiration references, room priorities, and budget clarity upfront. This cuts discovery time by 50%. Meetings focus on solutions, not information gathering. Clients appreciate the professionalism and structure.

Design Presentation Reminders
SequencePro $99
When 3D designs are ready, send preview images with approval reminders to keep the project moving without endless follow-ups.
๐จ Living Room Design Ready!
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Patel,
Your living room 3D visualization is ready for review!
What's included:
โ Overall layout with furniture placement
โ Custom TV unit design (8 ft wall)
โ False ceiling with cove lighting
โ Material & color palette preview
๐ 3D Renders attached (4 views + 1 walkthrough video)
Key Design Elements:
โข Walnut wood finish as discussed
โข Concealed storage for pooja items
โข Bay window seating with storage
โข Pendant light over dining area
Please review with family and share feedback:
1. Overall layout - comfortable?
2. TV unit size - works for your 55" TV?
3. Colors - too dark/light?
4. Any changes needed?
Next: Master bedroom design (ready in 3 days)
- Studio Vaastu Team
Design milestone reached
SEQUENCE: Design Approval Flow
TRIGGER: Tag "design-ready-living-room" added
DAY 0: Send design images + approval request
DAY +3: If no response, send gentle reminder
DAY +7: If still no response, send urgent follow-up (project timeline affected)
ON APPROVAL: Move to next room design
ON CHANGES: Schedule revision discussion call
How it works: Sending designs via WhatsApp with clear approval checkpoints reduces decision paralysis. Visual previews let family members review together. The reminder sequence prevents approvals from stalling. You track which room is awaiting approval vs in-progress. This eliminates the "did you see the design?" follow-up calls.
Workflow tip: Send designs on weekends when families are together. Better to get collective feedback once than individual opinions spread over days.

Project Milestone Updates
CampaignPro $99
During execution, send weekly progress updates with site photos to reduce client anxiety and unnecessary site visit requests.
๐ธ Weekly Site Update - Week 5 of 14
Dear Patel Family,

โ COMPLETED THIS WEEK:

- Leon (Site Supervisor), Studio Vaastu
Every Friday
CAMPAIGN: Weekly Progress Update
TARGET: Contacts tagged "execution-in-progress"
SCHEDULE: Every Friday at 5 PM
CONTENT: Progress summary + photos + next week plan + pending decisions
STOP: When project moves to "completed" stage
How it works: Regular updates dramatically reduce "what's happening?" calls and surprise site visits. Clients feel involved without micromanaging. Photos build trust that work is progressing. Pending decision prompts keep the project timeline on track. Site supervisors can send updates without drafting messages from scratch.
Workflow tip: Take standardized progress photos from same angles weekly so clients can see week-over-week transformation clearly.

Site Visit Scheduling
RuleStarter+ $29
Streamline site visit coordination by offering available slots and confirming attendees before the visit.
Can we visit the site this weekend to see progress?
Absolutely! Site visits are welcome anytime during execution.
This weekend I'm available:
SATURDAY:
โข 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
โข 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
SUNDAY:
โข 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Please confirm:
1. Which slot works for you?
2. How many people will visit?
3. Any specific areas you want to inspect?
I'll ensure our site supervisor is present to answer technical questions.
Current focus areas this week:
โ False ceiling completion
โ Kitchen countertop granite
โ Bathroom tiling
Looking forward to showing you the progress!
- Studio Vaastu
Just now
TRIGGER: Message contains "site visit" or "visit site" or "see progress"
ACTION: Send available time slots for current week
THEN: Wait for slot confirmation
THEN: Send site address + parking info + contact number
DAY BEFORE: Send visit reminder with time
How it works: Instead of back-and-forth scheduling, you offer fixed slots. Clients pick what works, reducing coordination time by 80%. Site supervisor gets advance notice to prepare. Focused inspections (rather than surprise visits) are more productive. This structure respects everyone's time while maintaining transparency.
Workflow tip: Schedule site visits after major milestones (false ceiling done, painting done) rather than mid-work chaos. Better visual impact.

Material Selection Follow-ups
SequencePro $99
Help clients navigate material selection with curated options, market visit coordination, and decision reminders.
๐ชต Material Selection Time - Flooring
Dear Mrs. Patel,
Based on our discussion, here are my top 3 flooring recommendations for your 1,200 sq ft living + bedrooms:
OPTION 1: Italian Marble (Statuario)
โข Look: Luxurious white with gray veining
โข Price: Rs.400/sq ft (material + installation)
โข Pros: Timeless, increases home value
โข Cons: Needs periodic sealing, can stain
OPTION 2: Engineered Wood (European Oak)
โข Look: Warm, contemporary feel
โข Price: Rs.320/sq ft (material + installation)
โข Pros: Warm underfoot, easier maintenance
โข Cons: Not suitable for bathrooms/kitchen
OPTION 3: Large Format Vitrified Tiles (4x8 ft)
โข Look: Marble-look without maintenance
โข Price: Rs.220/sq ft (material + installation)
โข Pros: Zero maintenance, seamless look
โข Cons: Can feel cold, harder underfoot
My Recommendation: Option 3 (best value + durability)
Alternative: Option 2 for bedrooms if warmth is priority
๐ Market Visit Scheduled:
Saturday 10 AM - Granito Hub, Bhandup
We'll see samples and finalize.
Please confirm your attendance by Thursday.
- Arun, Studio Vaastu
Material decision stage
SEQUENCE: Material Selection
TRIGGER: Project stage = "Material Selection"
STEP 1: Send curated material options for each category (flooring, tiles, etc.)
STEP 2: Schedule market visit for samples
STEP 3: Send reminder 2 days before market visit
STEP 4: After visit, send decision deadline (procurement timing)
STEP 5: If no decision, send gentle reminder (project timeline impact)
How it works: Curated options (vs overwhelming choices) help clients decide faster. Price transparency builds trust. Market visits are scheduled efficiently. Decision reminders keep procurement on track. This reduces the "analysis paralysis" that delays projects by weeks. Your expertise shines through in the recommendations.
Workflow tip: For each material category, create pre-written option templates. Update prices quarterly. Saves 30+ minutes per client on repetitive explanations.

Milestone completion
SEQUENCE: Payment Reminders
TRIGGER: Tag "milestone-2-completed" added
DAY 0: Send payment due notice with deliverables summary
DAY +3: If no payment, send gentle reminder
DAY +7: If still pending, send firm reminder (project paused)
ON PAYMENT: Send thank you + next milestone timeline
THEN: Move project to next stage
How it works: Linking payments to completed deliverables makes requests non-negotiable. Clients see value received before payment ask. Automated reminders are consistent and professionalโno awkward personal conversations. PayPal/bank details ready means instant payment possible. This improves cash flow by 40% and reduces payment delays from weeks to days.
Workflow tip: Never start the next milestone until previous payment is received. Clear boundaries prevent scope creep and payment delays from compounding.

New project completion
CAMPAIGN: Portfolio Showcase
TARGET: Contacts tagged "past-client" OR "warm-lead" OR "consultation-completed"
SCHEDULE: After each major project completion
CONTENT: Project reveal + transformation photos + testimonial + inquiry CTA
GOAL: Stay top-of-mind for referrals and repeat business
How it works: Regular portfolio updates keep you top-of-mind when friends/family mention needing a designer. Transformation photos are highly shareableโpast clients forward to their networks. Specific details (budget, timeline, area) help prospects self-qualify. This generates 30-40% of new leads from referrals vs paid ads. Your work markets itself when showcased strategically.
Workflow tip: Send portfolio campaigns quarterly, not too frequently. Focus on diverse project types (apartment vs villa, modern vs traditional) so different prospects see relevant work.
CRM

From first inquiry through handover to happy referrals
