Email is Dead
Customer submits a form. It sits in your inbox for hours. They hire a competitor on WhatsApp instead. Lost lead. Lost revenue.
River Agent · Sales AI Agent
Capture Every Lead on WhatsApp
Your new internal Sales AI Agent. Inquiries answered in 2 minutes. Qualified bookings. Calendar synced.
Or book a 15-minute call
The Lead Loss Loop
Email delays, receptionist admin, and unqualified calls bleed SA SMBs every month.
Admin Eats Your Week
Copy inquiry → send WhatsApp confirmation → add to calendar → send Zoom link. 10 minutes per lead. 5 leads/week = 50 minutes of copy-paste.
Unqualified Calls Waste Your Time
Anyone can book. You spend an hour on tire-kickers. No qualification before the call.
Cost of this problem
- Lost leads + wasted admin typically run R13,000–R19,000/mo
- Higher deal values, more inbound, or heavier calendar admin push it further
- Or even more — depending on what you sell and how you still run leads by hand
