Before you shortlist

Know what you need before you shortlist

Step 1: Write down the calls you want to hand over

New enquiries from property portals, ads and website forms. Reminders for appointments, visits or renewals. Incoming calls after office hours. Old enquiries that never converted. Most Mumbai businesses start with one of these, not all four.

Step 2: Count your volume, and your peak days

How many leads come in on a normal day, and on your busiest day? For a builder it is the weekend before site visits; for a coaching class it is admission season; for a clinic it is Monday morning.

Step 3: Map the languages on each list

A Mumbai list is rarely one language. Customers in Dadar or Thane may prefer Marathi, families in Ghatkopar or Borivali Gujarati, and most callers mix Hindi and English.

Decide a starting language per list, and check that the software follows a caller who switches mid-call.

Shortlisting

How to test AI calling software on Mumbai calls

A demo video tells you little. These four tests take an afternoon and show how the software will sound to your customers.

Step 4: Take a demo call on your own phone

Ask for a call with your own script and offer. Interrupt it, ask the price, switch to Marathi or Gujarati, say "call me later". A good AI agent stops, listens and answers instead of reading on.

Step 5: Test the hand-off to your office

When a caller is interested, the call should come through to your team while the customer is still on the line. Check what happens when nobody picks up: a callback should be booked, not the lead lost.

Step 6: Look at what you get after each call

Every call should give you a recording, a transcript, a short summary and an outcome such as interested, callback, not interested or wrong number. Your team should be able to act on it without listening to the whole call.

Step 7: Check the calling rules are built in

Campaign calls should go out only in permitted hours, generally 9 AM to 8 PM, respect DND, and add anyone who says "don't call me" to an opt-out list automatically.

Setting it up

Step 8: Clean the first list

Remove duplicates, wrong numbers and anyone who has asked not to be called. Keep to people who enquired or are already your customers: they answer, and they expect the call.

Step 9: Write the script with your best telecaller

Sit with the person who converts best and write down how they actually open, the three to five questions they ask, and how they close. Keep the Hinglish phrases your customers use. The software should sound like your best caller, not a brochure.

Step 10: Decide who takes transfers, and when

Name one person for each calling window and give them a number that is always answered. Saturday is a working day for many Mumbai offices and a site-visit day for builders, so plan it too.

Going live

Your first two weeks

Step 11: Run a one-week pilot with one list and one goal

For example, the last 60 days of enquiries, with one goal: book a visit, a demo class or an appointment. Listen to a handful of recordings every day in the first week and change any line that makes people hesitate.

Step 12: Review the report, then scale

At the end of the week, look at how many people answered, how many were interested and where calls ended. Fix the script, adjust calling times, then add the next list or language.
