HelloElla

HelloElla is a chatbot solution that enables tour operators and travel agencies to grow their business with automated personal sales conversations. With the smart intake, travel companies easily generate more leads, increase website conversion and lower their sales costs - at scale. For many travel companies, growing their business is hard. In the competitive market, CAC is high. Web conversion is low due to choice overload, lack in distinction in products and increasing need for advice. In addition, digitalization and automation are essential to make the business more profitable, yet many tour operators and agencies lack the required skills and or budgets to improve. HelloElla is different from other chatbot solutions: 1. The Smart Intake is plug and play: clients pick from ready made intake flows tailored to destination and type of travel, no coding or chatbot skills required. 2. All the conversations are fully tailored for travel, so our clients can give their customers a great and relevant user experience. 3. We are more than a chatbot: The Smart Intake a.o. comes with an automated leadscore based on data and AI sales support for the best follow up. HelloElla is founded by Valborg Korthals Altes (Sales, Product, Growth) and Nick Wevers (Tech, Product, Marketing). Prior to HelloElla in 2019 we founded an online travel platform that helped people to book their trip at a local specialist. We pivoted in October 2020 during the Travel Impact Accelerator program (Netherlands) to the smart intake solution. We have a working product that is live with our first clients. Among our clients are ANWB (top 5 tour operators NL), Riksja Travel and travel companies abroad (currently Spain and Slovenia).
