How Tootly Tripled Revenue with Instagram Automation

Discover how the online music school for children automated their entire Instagram sales funnel, saving 500+ hours a month and converting leads with a sophisticated multi-step follow-up system that was impossible to manage manually.

About Tootly

Founded by Mukta, Tootly is an online music school with a team of 3 that provides fun and engaging online music courses for children. As an EdTech company in the online education space, their primary growth channel is running Meta ads that drive interested parents to start a conversation on Instagram DMs, creating a high volume of high-intent leads. To scale their enrollment process, they implemented TailorTalk's AI Sales Agent on Instagram.

The Challenge

Success Was Becoming Unsustainable

Tootly's Meta ads were working almost too well, generating over 1,000 inquiries a month. This created a critical scaling problem. A dedicated sales person was manually handling every DM—explaining course details, sharing sample videos, and tracking everything in Google Sheets. They had hit their absolute capacity. To scale the business, Mukta faced a dilemma: hire a large sales team and deal with the high costs and coordination, or stop growing.

“We were drowning in DMs. We knew we could get more students if we spent more on ads, but we simply didn't have the manpower to handle the inquiries. The whole system was dependent on one person and a spreadsheet.”

The Solution

An AI Sales Agent That Nurtures and Converts

Tootly deployed TailorTalk's AI Sales Agent to automate their entire Instagram DM funnel. The agent became their 24/7 enrollment counselor, capable of handling thousands of conversations at once.

The AI agent was configured to:

  • Instantly Engage Every Ad Lead: The moment a parent messaged from an ad, the agent began a personalized conversation, answering questions about the curriculum, teachers, and class timings.
  • Share Rich Media Samples: To help parents understand the course quality, the agent was trained to automatically send sample videos of classes and audio notes from instructors, providing a rich, interactive experience.
  • Execute a Sophisticated Follow-up Strategy: The agent identified promising leads and automatically initiated a multi-step follow-up sequence, sending between 2 to 8 personalized messages over several days to nurture interest and drive conversions.
  • Centralize Lead Management: All conversations and lead data were automatically captured in TailorTalk's simple lead management board, completely eliminating the need for manual tracking in Google Sheets.

This ability to run a complex, multi-touch AI Sales strategy is crucial for high-growth businesses in the online education space.

The Results

Explosive Growth and Unprecedented Efficiency

By automating their sales process, Tootly was able to unlock its true growth potential.

  • Over 3X Increase in Revenue & Profit: With the AI managing the funnel, Mukta confidently tripled her ad spend. TailorTalk now handles over 3,400 leads per month. This massive increase in lead flow, combined with the agent's superior follow-up, more than tripled the company's revenue and profit.
  • 500+ Hours Saved Monthly: The AI agent automated the work of nearly three full-time employees, saving an ₹80,000+ per month in operational costs.
  • 90% of Conversions Driven by Follow-ups: An incredible 9 out of 10 enrollments came after the AI agent performed its multi-step follow-up sequence—a task that was physically impossible for a human team to execute at scale.
  • A 50X Return on Investment: The combination of massive cost savings and exponential revenue growth delivered a staggering 50X ROI, proving the immense power of true AI automation.
