Telegram lead generation: from finding the audience to talking to the client

Leads from Telegram come in three steps: find placements where your audience is, get its attention, and turn the interest into a conversation in direct messages. In TeleTraff each step is a separate module, and the Dialogs module answers direct messages.

  • Audience, attention, conversation
  • AI answers direct messages
  • Trial with no card
Dialogs in TeleTraff: the selected accounts' conversations in one list, the Needs attention filter and the Take over button

In short

Telegram lead generation means getting requests from people who became interested in your offer in channels, chats or direct messages. The scheme: find placements with the audience, get attention with a comment or by taking part in a chat, then continue the conversation in direct messages. In TeleTraff these steps are covered by the parsers and the open base, neurocommenting, neurochat, mailing and Dialogs, where the AI answers people who write to your accounts.

A funnel made of ready modules

A collected list goes to a module with the «Use» button, and mailing can hand a person who replied over to Dialogs. Nothing to export or import.

Every lead in one list

In a Dialogs run, the conversations of every selected account come in one list with the All, New and Needs attention filters. You can take over any of them.

Test it on your own offer

The 3-day trial opens every module: 3 threads in each, up to 10 accounts. You can test the funnel without a card.

Where Telegram leads come from

A Telegram lead is a person who showed interest and wrote to you or answered your message. Such people come from three places: comments under posts, topical chats and direct messages to a collected list.

Funnels differ by niche. An expert or an online school needs a warm conversation, services and B2B need to reach the person who decides, an online store needs a visit to the catalog. The mechanics are the same: placement, attention, conversation. The bigger picture is on the Telegram promotion page.

How to build a lead generation funnel in TeleTraff

The order assumes you start from zero. If you already have some of the steps, skip them.

  1. 01

    Prepare the accounts

    Import accounts into the account manager and give them proxies. Fill in the profiles, for example with the profile generator: someone who came from a comment opens the account first.

  2. 02

    Find placements with the audience

    Take channels and chats on your topic from the open base, or collect them and their members with parsers.

  3. 03

    Get attention with comments

    Run neurocommenting on channels with open comments. In the What to write field, describe who you are and why you are useful.

  4. 04

    Add chats

    Neurochat keeps your accounts in topical chats as ordinary members. Whoever wants to continue writes in direct messages.

  5. 05

    Write to a warm list

    Mailing writes first to a list. In Whom to skip, mark the people you already wrote to, and in the scenario mode choose «Hand over to Dialogs».

  6. 06

    Handle the leads

    Run Dialogs on the same accounts in Everyone who writes mode. The AI replies, and you can take over any conversation. Conversations where the AI asks you to look land in the Needs attention filter.

Setups for different niches

These are schemes, not a promise of results. Each one is tested on your own audience.

An expert or an online school

Neurocommenting in channels on your topic, with a link to your channel in the account profile. Dialogs in Everyone who writes mode answers whoever writes on their own, and you can take the conversation over.

Services and B2B

A parser collects members of industry chats, mailing sends a first message with a clear offer. In Hand over to Dialogs mode the AI takes over whoever replied, and you mark the lead's status with a tag.

Info products

Neurochat takes part in discussions in topical chats, and the follow-up moves to direct messages. Mailing writes separately to the people you have already talked to.

What the AI does in Dialogs, and what stays with you

  • AI replies are labelled in the conversation, so you see them at once.
  • When the AI asks you to look, the conversation lands in the Needs attention filter. The AI keeps replying until you take the conversation over.
  • The Take over button moves the conversation to you, and from then on you reply.
  • What can be handed out holds cards: payment details, a file or a link. The AI asks for a card by name and the panel sends the exact value. The AI never sees the values themselves.
  • Next to the conversation are the contact's profile, AI dossier and Tags and note.

Setting up AI replies is covered in the Dialogs guide.

Where leads get lost

One module does not make a funnel. What works is the chain: placement, offer, reply to the person. Most people are lost at the last step:

  • the person wrote and the reply came a day later;
  • conversations are spread over ten accounts and nobody opened half of them;
  • one person got messages from two different accounts;
  • the account profile is empty and the person cannot tell who is writing.

Dialogs and the Whom to skip block in mailing remove the first three. A filled-in profile closes the fourth. The first direct message is covered in detail in the article on Telegram DM mailing.

Questions and answers

Does TeleTraff work for Telegram lead generation?

Yes, if you get leads through your own accounts: comments, chats and direct messages. The panel covers finding the audience, the first contact and running the conversations. The offer and what happens after the conversation stay with you.

Where do I start if I have never had leads from Telegram?

With placements and comments. Take channels on your topic from the open base, fill in the account profiles and run neurocommenting. Dialogs running on the same accounts answers whoever writes to them.

Can I keep track of replies when there are many accounts?

Yes. In a Dialogs run, every selected account's conversations come in one list. The New filter shows unread ones, Needs attention shows conversations where the AI asks you to look.

Does the AI reply to clients by itself?

Yes, if you set it up that way. AI replies are labelled, and Take over moves the conversation to you at any moment. The AI never sees payment details or links: it asks for a card by name and the panel sends the value.

How do I avoid writing to the same person twice?

Mailing has a Whom to skip block with a People we already wrote to switch, and a Do not message list. The panel remembers whom the accounts have already written to.

What does lead generation in the panel cost?

The modules come with the plan; nothing is sold separately. The trial is free for 3 days. Paid plans start at $24 for 30 days, details on the pricing page.
