For overseas education consultancies

A counsellor's phone for your consultancy that calls every enquiry within the minute.

Scandum · 2 September 2026

What it costs today

A student fills a form at midnight and hears nothing until a counsellor is free the next afternoon, by which time two other consultancies have called, and the enquiry that took a paid ad to win is lost to whoever answered first.

60seconds
A lead called within sixty seconds is far likelier to answer and to book than one called the next day.
How we got this number

A cited figure, carried from the research; the underlying study is linked there when the founder attaches it.

A worked example

A Monday at a study-abroad consultancy

  1. 01

    09:12: a form lands from the landing page for autumn intake. Forty seconds later the Lead Qualifier is on the phone, in the language the form was filled in.

  2. 02

    09:15: country, intake, budget and whether an English test score is in hand. Four answers, written to the record as fields.

  3. 03

    09:17: it fits. Two counsellor slots are offered and one is booked; the confirmation goes out on WhatsApp.

  4. 04

    11:40: a student does not pick up. Second attempt at 12:40, third at 17:10, then a WhatsApp message. The retry ladder is on the record.

  5. 05

    19:00: the evening note. Enquiries called, qualified, booked; the one who wants a scholarship answer that needs you.

What it says

One sentence, in the caller's language.

నమస్కారం, నేను కన్సల్టెన్సీ AI అసిస్టెంట్‌ని. మీ IELTS స్కోర్ వచ్చిందా? వచ్చి ఉంటే, ఈ వారం కౌన్సెలర్‌తో సమయం పెట్టుకుందాం.

Hello, I am the consultancy's AI assistant. Has your IELTS score come? If so, let us set a time with the counsellor this week.

The same sentence is said in Hindi or English when the caller opens in one of those. Every call begins with a one-line disclosure that it is an AI assistant.

Questions

Questions overseas education consultancies ask.

How fast does it call a new student enquiry?

Within sixty seconds of the form during your calling hours. Outside them, a WhatsApp message goes out at once and the call is queued for the next open hour.

Can an AI calling agent qualify study-abroad leads?

It asks the four questions you set, usually country, intake, budget and test score, writes the answers as fields, and books the ones that fit with a counsellor. It never marks a lead qualified without the four answers on the record.

Does it speak Hindi as well as Telugu?

Yes. The language on the form decides the opening; the student's replies decide the rest. Telugu, Hindi and English are shipped.

What we don't claim yet

Honest line

We do not claim a conversion rate for consultancies. The speed-to-lead effect is cited research; a Scandum consultancy's own numbers appear on the proof page when a month has been measured.
