Who they are and what they sell
The client is a personal stylist who works with women over 35. She teaches how to choose clothes for body shape, colouring and lifestyle and how to combine them into outfits. She also runs a styling mentoring programme.
Traffic comes mainly from Instagram: in the best 30 days 371 people wrote there. Sales start with a free 45 minute online consultation, so every conversation has one job: book it.
What wasn't working
Before Setor, a reply depended on when someone sat down with the phone. And women write about their wardrobe when they finish their day.
hello, I've been following you for a while. my wardrobe is full and I still have nothing to wear, can something be done about that?
- next message from the account: the following day
Women write after work. In the best 30 days 751 of 2,124 messages from them (about 1 in 3) arrived between 6 pm and 8 am.
The 90 days before Setor tell the same story. On Instagram only 18.3% of replies went out within 5 minutes, the median was about an hour and the slowest 10% waited 15 hours. There were 51 conversations then, and in 5.9% of them nobody replied.
How we set Setor up
Setor has been on the account since June 2026. It replies to Instagram and Messenger DMs and runs the conversation from the first message to a booked consultation. The whole setup comes down to four things.
- QualificationBefore inviting her, Setor asks about the wardrobe: what she struggles with, what she has already tried, how it affects her mood and whether she'd rather go on alone or step by step.
- Booking linkInstead of a calendar in the chat, Setor invites her to a free online consultation and sends a booking link. Once she picks a slot, Setor checks whether the booking went through.
- Follow-upsWhen a conversation stops halfway, Setor comes back a few hours later with one short question.
- Automations from comments and storiesA comment under a post opens a DM conversation and sends a guide, and a reply to a story starts one right away. Setor takes it from there.
What Setor doesn't do. It doesn't choose outfits, assess body shape or promise a makeover. It gathers context and invites her to a consultation, and the stylist builds the style.
What a conversation looks like
The pattern is simple: something free to start with, a few questions about the wardrobe and an invitation to a consultation with a booking link.

Setor doesn't choose outfits or assess body shape. For that, it invites her to a consultation.
What you can copy
You don't need Setor to start. You can put these three things in place even if you reply yourself.
- 1
Reply after work
4 of 8 consultations were booked between 6 pm and 8 am, and about 1 in 3 messages from women arrived in those hours. If you only reply during the day, those conversations wait until morning.
- 2
Ask what she has already tried
What she struggles with, what she's tried and whether she prefers to go alone or step by step. The woman who joins the consultation has named her own problem, and you know where to start.

Offer a free first step and mind the ratio
The consultation is free and takes 45 minutes, and the DM conversation has one job: book it. With this model traffic decides the result: here 371 conversations produced 8 consultations.
The honest part
- These are the results of one account. Your numbers may look different.
- This is the account's best period, not a typical month. Results aren't updated, they could be better or worse.
- We only show booked consultations, not sales or revenue. A booked consultation is a conversation marked as booked in the dashboard, and it doesn't always take place.
- Setor handles traffic, it doesn't create it. The number of conversations also depends on the account's reach.
