Why Are B2B Sales Teams Switching from AiSensy to Rasayel #

It can also assign agents to leads consecutively, starting with the least busy agent, ensuring a fair distribution of work in a team.

Moreover, the bot can send a range of in-WhatsApp fillable forms such as lead generation forms, demo booking forms, feedback & more.
