Vidyakul is India’s first vernacular e-learning platform that makes education more accessible in tier-II, III cities. They offer live lectures and pre-recorded courses (from Class 9th- 12th in Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, and Hinglish) to help state board students learn academics.
Started in 2021, the team had developed a basic in-house CRM to help manage the low volume of incoming leads. But as they began to grow, it was difficult for them to build a personalized approach to help onboard students.
That’s what led them to LeadSquared’s EdTech CRM—a customizable platform to help them scale faster.
Initially, their in-house CRM could manage a lead inflow of 100-250 leads per day. But with scale, they needed a more robust platform that could help them provide a unified experience to students. They faced certain challenges before implementing LeadSquared.
Having built a basic CRM, it wasn’t possible for them to integrate and send out personalized communications to students to nurture them. To grow sustainably, they needed to automate student nurture, so the team could focus on converting priority leads and not spend time on helping them get ready for purchase.
It was important for the team to understand how each student interacted with the courses, where they got stuck in their journeys, and map activities that had higher chances of conversion. Without a CRM, they weren’t able to visualize student journeys and strategize around the high-converting activities.
The team couldn’t set up follow-up sequences or lead stages to bifurcate priority students that needed to be called back. This meant missed follow-ups and a leaky funnel. The team had a huge inflow of leads every day and needed a reminder process to call back students who needed some more help in getting converted.
Experiencing a growth spurt, it was necessary for the team to work productively. But managing a high volume of leads with manual interventions, lack of student activity tracking, and impersonal communication lowered sales productivity.
Not every student that came to the platform was ready to buy or convert. It was important for the team to prioritize leads that were “hot”. Their existing solution couldn’t divide various leads into buckets based on the actions they had undertaken on their application.
After trying out a couple of CRMs, they zeroed in on LeadSquared because of its automation and customization capabilities that helped fuel their growth further.
It took almost a year to build processes around the data that helped with higher conversions, but Vidyakul could achieve higher conversion rates even while scaling their teams and product. After implementing LeadSquared, they were able to deliver better student experiences and maintain higher retention.
With LeadSquared, they were able to integrate communication platforms and send out messages, emails, and WhatsApp texts to nurture students. They were able to build self-serve journeys with automated messaging and convert students at a faster pace.
While implementing the platform, the team divided student journeys into various stages and activities. LeadSquared maps these activities to build overall visibility as well as assign quality scores based on journeys. The team can track and personalize conversations without having to move out of the platform.
With the ability to track activities and map how the student interacted with their platform, the team was able to build follow-up cadences to deliver better student experiences. Setting up automated reminders, 1-click email communication, and sequences helps the team to not miss out any leads.
It was important for the team to utilize their time in driving quality content and build student relationships. For that, the team needed LeadSquared to automate communication and nurturing so they could focus only on priority leads and increase student retention.
Although the team has scaled quite a bit, it was a priority to maximize utilization. With LeadSquared, they were able to build smart views that helped sales to call maximum number of leads, improve conversions to 7%, and resolve queries faster.
With LeadSquared, the team saw tremendous growth not only in terms of student conversions, but it also helps them build a better product to ensure higher retention rates.
