Home Rental has been a pretty unregulated market, particularly in India. Homeowners have been tormenting tenants with unrealistic deposit demands and unserved amenities and facilities. Anyone new to the city, with a meager amount of money in his pocket, finds it tough to sail through.
NestAway, a Bengaluru based startup recognized this crisis and came to the rescue with minimum security deposits and brokerage. Founded in early 2015 by Amarendra Sahu, Deepak Dhar, Jitendra Jagadev and Smruti Parida, NestAway is a new concept for the homeowners, a solution for the tenants and is fixing the youth housing crisis in cities. It has set footprints across 13 major cities in India including Bengaluru, New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Noida, and Hyderabad, among others, and has 25,000+ homes in their network with 55,000+ tenants.
Customers are said to be the knees of every successful business opening the doors to revenue growth. Considering customer importance at all stages, tracking every metric within the process became a crucial requirement for NestAway.
While redesigning the process in late 2018, it became a challenge to fill in the gaps within the tenant acquisition process.
As the company continued to grow, it became evident that there was a need for sales automation and a better way to capture incoming leads in order to help them scale.
LeadSquared is being used by the Inside Sales team on the tenant side along with the team coordination with the customers and the field staff. LeadSquared integrates with NestAway’s inbuilt partner app which makes the process flow effortless.
As soon as a prospective customer registers with NestAway, be it through the website or any other channel, it gets added to LeadSquared. The leads then get distributed automatically to the region-specific salesperson.
If an SAV (Schedule a Visit) activity is posted, the salesperson follows-up and gathers the requirements of the lead, i.e. the kind of property he would like to visit, the time to be scheduled, etc. Once ensured, the lead is passed on to the Field Sales team, who are responsible for showing the property, and disposing the status on the partners’ app which is then redirected to LeadSquared.
In case the lead likes the property, it is followed-up again by the inside sales team to ensure that the sale is closed.
The entire process helped them track whether the field visits were happening and if the field sales reps were present on-site on time. They could now fetch the entire lead journey from when it entered the system to when it became a customer.
NestAway started seeing the results of its work with the LeadSquared software almost immediately.
The SAV to booking ratio, that is the number of people coming on the website to the number of people who are actually booking, has increased by 2%.
A significant decrease in lead leakage has been registered.
NestAway aims at continuing to build the supply of quality homes and providing great customer experience. They plan to build more depth in the cities in which they are already present, as well as expand to more Tier I and Tier II cities.
