Case Study: Efficiently Managing Customer Journeys for Waterz Goa
Delivering a Comprehensive System for Personalized Interactions and Timely Follow-Ups
– Introduction
In the competitive tourism and leisure industry, managing a steady flow of customer inquiries from various platforms can be challenging. Waterz Goa, a well-known provider of luxury cruises and water adventure services, faced this issue as their offerings and brands expanded. This case study shows how Twister Automation helped simplify their operations, improve lead management, and enhance customer service with a tailored CRM system and automation tools.
Client Background
Waterz Goa, based in Goa, India, is a prominent name in the tourism sector, offering services such as:
- Dinner Party Cruises
- Private Yacht Charters
- Sunset Party Cruises
- Private Boat Rentals
- Scuba Diving with Watersports
- Beach Watersports
- Dudhsagar Waterfall Treks
As their business grew, they diversified their operations into multiple brands—Life on Yachts Goa, Goa Cruising, River Cruise Goa, Goa Boat Rentals, and retained the core brand, Waterz Goa. They actively engaged audiences on Instagram and Facebook and leveraged Facebook Ads to generate leads. However, managing inquiries from multiple sources and responding promptly became a major hurdle
Challenges
Managing a High Volume of Leads: The team struggled to track and respond to the large number of inquiries coming in from different sources.
Meeting Customer Expectations: Customers expected quick and accurate responses, which was hard to maintain consistently.
Manual Follow-Ups: The follow-up processes were manual and time consuming which often resulted in missed opportunities and delayed responses.
Disorganized Data: Customer details, preferences, and lead sources were managed manually, making it tough to analyze data effectively.
Solution
Twister Automation created a custom CRM system with automation tools tailored to Waterz Goa’s needs.
Centralized Lead Management: All leads from Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms were integrated into a unified CRM. This made it easier to categorize and prioritize them.
Automated Chatbot: A chatbot was developed to provide instant responses to customer inquiries across all platforms.
It collected personal details, service preferences, and travel dates (options included Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next Week, This Month, Next Month, and Group Bookings).
Relevant information about services was shared right away, reducing the workload for the team.
Additionally, when a customer opts in for a particular cruise service, the chatbot provides them with a brochure or specific details about that service immediately, ensuring they have all the information they need to make an informed decision.
Automated Follow-Ups: The CRM automatically set follow-up tasks for the sales team.
Messages were sent to customers to keep them engaged.
Tasks were generated for sales personnel to call leads requiring personalized attention.
Lead Segmentation and Broadcasting: Leads were categorized by source, service interest, and travel preferences. This allowed Waterz Goa to:
Filter leads more effectively.
Send targeted marketing messages to specific customer groups.
