System Integrations for Dance Schools

---

What Dance Schools Can Expect

• Course signups: Students who get instant answers about schedules and pricing are more likely to register than those who wait for a callback.
• After-hours inquiries: Most people search for dance classes in the evening - a chatbot captures those leads instead of losing them to voicemail.
• Admin time: Fewer repetitive questions about schedules, prices, and dress codes means more time for teaching and choreography.
• No-shows: Automated class reminders via WhatsApp reduce no-shows compared to email-only reminders.

Results vary by school size, inquiry volume, and integration scope. We calculate expected ROI before you commit.

Transparent Pricing (Setup + Monthly, excl. VAT)

• Quote in 24 hours after a 30-45 minute discovery call.
• Typical timeline: LITE ~1 week, GROWTH 3-5 weeks, ENTERPRISE 4-7 weeks.
• ROI is calculated in Week 0; payback often appears in 2-4 weeks for teams with 30+ inquiries/day.
• GDPR-compliant EU hosting; data not used for training.

ROI and Business Impact (Realistic)

Chatbot pays off when inquiry volume is high and response speed affects conversion. The main drivers are:

• Inquiries/day and % after hours
• Automation rate for repetitive questions
• Response-time impact on conversion
• Average order value or lead value
• Integration scope (CRM/calendar/payments)

Quick estimate:

Monthly benefit = (automated inquiries x minutes saved x cost/minute)
                + (recovered inquiries x conversion rate x avg order value)
                - monthly fee
Payback = setup fee / monthly benefit

Teams with 30+ inquiries/day often see payback in 2-4 weeks; lower volume usually takes 1-3 months. Actual results depend on conversion, ticket size, and scope.
