Conversations That Convert – Turning Inquiries into Site Visits & Bookings
Pune, India – September 18, 2025 –
Conversive (Formerly SMS Magic) hosted Conversations That Convert on September 17th at Novotel Pune, Nagar Road, an in‑person session for real‑estate leaders focused on turning buyer inquiries into scheduled site visits and confirmed bookings.
The session was opened by Karan Seth, Vice President – Sales & Alliances, who traced the company’s journey from SMS‑Magic to Conversive and explained why the brand evolved from CRM‑native messaging to a CRM‑agnostic, omnichannel platform. He outlined platform scale and credibility-10B+ messages processed, 10M+ messages and 15M case conversations per month, and 5,000+ businesses orchestrating customer journeys across SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, voice and web chat-before framing the program’s theme: end‑to‑end conversations that lift visit show‑rates and turn inquiries into bookings.
“Buyers don’t experience channels; they experience one conversation. When that conversation is orchestrated end‑to‑end, teams see more connects, higher show‑rates and stronger conversions,” Seth said.
The presenters walked through Conversive’s architecture : channels, orchestration engine (AI workflows, routing, retriers), AI services (LLMs, NLP, sentiment), integrations (CRM, calendars, ID check), compliance & analytics (logs, dashboards, alerts) and showed how this stack is applied in day‑to‑day engagement: instant acknowledgments, real‑time qualification, intelligent routing to people or time slots, confirmations, reminders and payment links triggered directly inside the conversation. Attendees heard how this translates into outcomes such as higher lead connection rates, fewer no‑shows for viewing appointments, and capacity gains for sales assistants and agents.
The Conversive team then led a discussion on common hurdles faced by real‑estate sales, marketing and pre‑sales teams-drop‑offs between inquiry and visit, rescheduling friction, misrouted leads, and limited visibility across tools-while inviting participants to share their own experiences. The exchange surfaced consistent themes around faster response times, coordinating schedules, ensuring timely reminders, better followups and capturing buyer intent without adding manual effort.
Using data from recent programs, speakers explained the buyer journey and funnel in real estate and where the biggest leakages typically occur. They illustrated how each drop‑off becomes a missed opportunity and how an engagement strategy with timely nudges, confirmations and self‑service options helps reverse the decline. The segment included Pune‑market context and practical remediation steps teams can deploy immediately.
The team showcased global real‑estate examples and the results achieved using Conversive (formerly SMS‑Magic): Parkbench doubled lead connection rates and closed 25–30% more deals, Power Bespoke cut viewing no‑shows by 30%, and Beer Home Team improved team capacity by 15% through automated notifications and personalized engagement. The session also highlighted India‑based deployments and the lift seen across connect rates, show‑rates and booking conversions. The team also showcased a short demo of the conversive platform that walked through the platform’s capabilities. The audience response was enthusiastic, with several leaders requesting follow‑ups for pilots.
What attendees said:
“One of our biggest bottlenecks is coordinating visits without endless back‑and‑forth. Seeing the unified view of a conversation across channels and reminder flows was a game‑changer,” said a participating sales head at a Pune developer.
“As marketing, we need visibility into what happens after the click. The journey analytics and compliance trail here are exactly what we’ve been missing,” added a marketing lead at a Pune brokerage.
