Questions

Does HotLead work with Qanvast and Atap leads?

Yes. Enquiries that reach your WhatsApp — including ones that start on Qanvast, Atap or Instagram — are captured and source-tagged, so you can see which platform actually produces deposits.

Our sales cycle is long — does that matter?

That is exactly the problem HotLead is built for. It keeps a next-action date on every lead through concept, 3D and quoting, so a client never goes quiet just because the project takes weeks.

Will it change how clients message us?

No. Clients keep using WhatsApp as normal. HotLead organises everything behind the scenes for your team.

Can each designer see only their own leads?

Yes. Designers see their assigned clients; the studio owner sees everything — reply times, follow-ups and conversion per person.

How fast can we start?

We handle setup and train your designers — most studios are live within days, with a full money-back guarantee if it is not a fit after a month.

Stop losing the leads you already paid for.

We set it up and train your team. Not happy after a month? Full refund.
