How a SaaS Founder in Bangalore Got 40 Warm Leads While on a Flight

Rohan had a problem most founders recognise immediately: he was spending 4 hours every week manually following up with leads from his website's contact form. Some leads would get a response within an hour. Others would wait three days. Most would go cold.

He discovered Nebulaa on a LinkedIn post. Decided to try it. Set it up in an afternoon. And went on a business trip to Mumbai the next day.

When he landed — 40 leads had been contacted, qualified, and categorised. Twelve were marked "warm" and ready for a founder call.

What Actually Happened

Here's the exact setup Rohan used:

Step 1: The trigger

Every time a new lead submitted the contact form, Nebulaa was notified via webhook. This took 20 minutes to set up with a basic Zapier connection.

Step 2: The qualification call

Within 5 minutes of form submission, Nebulaa called the lead from a local number. The script was personalised — it knew the company name, the product enquired about, and the lead's LinkedIn headline.

The call lasted between 90 seconds (uninterested) and 4 minutes (genuinely warm). Nebulaa qualified them on three dimensions:

•

Budget awareness

•

Timeline (are they evaluating now or "just exploring")

•

Decision authority

Step 3: The follow-up sequence

Uninterested leads went into a 30-day nurture WhatsApp sequence. Warm leads got a personalised email summary with booking link — directly to Rohan's calendar.

The Numbers

What This Means for You

If you have any form of inbound — website form, landing page, event registration — Nebulaa can qualify every single lead in under 5 minutes. You don't have to be available. You don't have to remember to follow up.

You just have to close.
