How to Sell a High-Ticket Programme From Instagram

Nobody pays ₹25,000 from a DM link. They pay after a conversation. So a high-ticket programme sold from Instagram is really two smaller sales: first a free call, then the programme at the end of that call. The Viralyze app handles both halves, with a keyword that books the call and a checkout page that closes the programme, which means no ads and no sales team.

This is the structure, the qualifying question and the follow-up.

What am I selling in the reel?

A free 20-minute call, nothing else. The reel explains a result your programme produces, then says "Comment CALL and I will send you a slot".

Keep the programme price off the reel. People who hear ₹25,000 before they have spoken to you compare it with nothing; people who hear it after a useful call compare it with the problem they just described.

How does the discovery call get booked?

Through a booking link sent by Auto-DM. Set up "Discovery call, 20 minutes, Google Meet, free" as a service on your Viralyze booking page, connect Google Calendar, and leave only the hours you want to sell in.

When someone comments CALL, the DM arrives in about a second with the link. The client picks a slot, receives a Meet invite and WhatsApp reminders, and lands in your contacts tagged with the reel that brought them.

How do I stop unqualified people filling the calendar?

Ask one question in the DM before the link. For a fitness coach selling a 12-week transformation programme, the DM might read:

"Thanks for commenting CALL. Before I send the slot: are you looking to train three or more times a week over the next three months? If yes, book here: [link]. If not yet, reply and I will send a free starter plan instead."

Replies land in the Inbox with the original comment as context. The "not yet" group gets a lead magnet PDF and stays on your list; the "yes" group books.

What happens after the call?

Send the checkout the same day. List the programme as a course product with the full price and what it includes; Viralyze builds the checkout with UPI, cards and net banking at 0% platform fee, so a ₹25,000 sale pays you ₹25,000 before the aggregator's charges.

Because the client is already in your Inbox, you send the link in the thread where you first spoke, with one line recapping what you agreed on the call. Many creators also offer a two-instalment option as a second product.

How do I know the funnel is working?

Read three numbers. The per-automation funnel shows comments to clicked, which tells you whether the reel and DM are pulling the right people. The booking count tells you whether the qualifying question is letting enough through. Revenue on the home screen over 30 and 90 days tells you whether calls are converting.

If calls are high and revenue is low, the problem is the call, not Instagram. If comments are high and bookings are low, soften the qualifying question.

Frequently asked questions

**Should the discovery call be paid?** A small fee, such as ₹500 credited against the programme, reduces no-shows; the booking page takes it upfront and you decide the refund rules.

**Can I run the CALL keyword on every reel instead of one?** Yes. Use the "comments on any post" trigger, though per-reel tracking is clearer with separate automations.

**Is a Facebook Page needed for any of this?** No. Auto-DM needs an Instagram Business or Creator account and you log in on Meta's own screen.
