Executive Summary

Pulse Digital deployed Frosty Agent on their website and WhatsApp to qualify inbound client inquiries and book discovery calls. Frosty automated 90% of top-of-funnel qualification, saved 18 hours per week of founder time, and increased qualified discovery calls 2.5× from 8 to 20 monthly.

The Business

Pulse Digital is a performance marketing and growth agency specializing in high-growth Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) and B2B SaaS brands.

With a boutique team of 12 specialists managing paid acquisition, SEO, creative production, and retention marketing, the agency manages monthly ad spend portfolios ranging from ₹5L to ₹50L+ per client.

The Challenge

The founder spent up to 18 hours a week answering basic inbound questions and vetting leads whose budgets fell below minimum retainers.

Inbound enquiries landed via website contact forms and WhatsApp. Without a dedicated full-time SDR or sales hire, the agency founder personally answered every inquiry. Response times averaged over 6 hours during busy client delivery days. Many prospects wanted to spend ₹20,000/month, well below the agency's minimum ₹1.5L retainer, resulting in wasted discovery calls.

Executive Perspective
I didn't want to hire a sales team. I wanted someone who could tell a ₹50K/month prospect from a ₹5L/month prospect before I got on a call. Frosty does exactly that.

What They Would Tell Someone Considering It

For boutique agencies, founder time is your most precious asset. If you spend your day answering 'What are your rates?', you cannot deliver great work. Frosty qualifies budget and intent upfront, so every discovery call on your calendar is with a prospect who can actually afford your services.
