What a Pre Sales Funnel Really Means

Think of the pre sales funnel as the journey your buyer takes from clicking an ad to stepping onto your project site.

In India, this path is rarely short. Buyers talk to brokers, compare projects, check financing, and seek family opinions. Without a structured system, most developers lose track halfway.

A pre sales funnel helps you

• Capture every enquiry instantly

• Qualify serious buyers from casual ones

• Nurture them with relevant, timed communication

• Drive them to a confirmed site visit

Step 1 – Capture Every Enquiry

Your leads are coming from everywhere: Facebook Ads, 99acres, MagicBricks, Google campaigns, even walk-ins.
The first step is to bring all these sources into one CRM that captures enquiries in real time.

No manual entry. No lost leads. Just clean, organised data that your sales team can act on instantly.

Step 2 – Qualify and Prioritise

Not all leads deserve the same attention. A buyer with a ₹1.5 crore budget should not be treated the same as someone casually browsing.

Use lead scoring inside your CRM to identify who’s hot, warm, or cold.
This helps your team focus on the right prospects while automation nurtures the rest in the background.

Step 3 – Nurture Like a Pro

Most Indian homebuyers take weeks to decide. So your communication needs to stay consistent throughout their journey.

Use WhatsApp, email, and SMS drip campaigns that keep you top-of-mind.
Example sequence

• Welcome message and brochure on day one

• Virtual walkthrough or testimonial video on day three

• Offer or financing update by the end of the week

• Personal invite for a site visit soon after

The goal is simple : stay relevant, helpful, and human.

Step 4 – Follow Up Fast

Speed matters.
Leads contacted within five minutes of engagement are far more likely to convert.

Set up instant alerts in your CRM when a lead opens a brochure or clicks a message. Use WhatsApp quick replies or click-to-call integrations to connect immediately.

Every follow up should push toward one action – a site visit. That’s where real conversions begin.

Step 5 – Manage Site Visits Smartly

Once a site visit is booked, your system should automatically send confirmation messages with project details, location pins, and contact numbers.

Reminders before the visit reduce no-shows. Post-visit feedback helps your team refine follow-up conversations.

This turns every visit into a measurable conversion point.

Key Metrics to Watch

Track these numbers to see how your funnel performs

• Average lead response time

• Lead-to-visit conversion rate

• Visit-to-booking conversion rate

• Cost per qualified lead

• Source-wise ROI

When you measure the right metrics, improvement becomes data-driven, not guesswork.

Why Automation Matters

With ad costs rising and competition getting fierce, automation is no longer optional.
It saves time, improves response rates, and ensures no lead slips through the cracks.

Developers using pre sales automation in India have seen up to 40 percent higher site visit conversions within just a few months.

Final Takeaway

Growing your real estate business isn’t about generating more leads. It’s about converting the ones you already have.

Capture fast. Qualify smart. Nurture consistently. Follow up with precision. That rhythm turns enquiries into bookings.

Wolf Media Observation
After working with developers across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, we’ve seen most lose over 80 percent of potential buyers before the site visit. Once we help them set up structured pre sales automation, conversions shoot up to 35–45 percent within two quarters.

The takeaway is clear. The real growth lies in mastering the journey from enquiry to site visit.
