The challenge

Reduce customer acquisition costs

Ultima.school built its sales funnel around website visitors submitting inquiries and pre-sales managers scheduling consultations with career experts.

However, this workflow significantly increased acquisition costs.

Goal

Spend less on customer acquisition and keep the same conversion as human pre-sales managers

Ultima.school worked with Chatfuel to explore whether a ChatGPT WhatsApp chatbot could reduce its high customer acquisition costs.

As a result, Chatfuel designed a chatbot that acts like a human pre-sales manager.

Results

2x lower acquisition costs and the same conversion to purchase

The updated sales funnel cut Ultima.school’s customer acquisition costs in half and kept end-to-end conversion to purchase the same as with a pre-sales manager.

Ultima.school also sends re-engagement messages to people who submitted inquiries on the website, to launch promotions and improve sales.

Seeing the potential of this approach, the school began exploring other WhatsApp use cases, such as re-engagement, lead qualification, and upselling.
