Introduction
Welcome to SQ3 - a smart business solution designed to help small and medium businesses in Sri Lanka manage customer communications more efficiently. This presentation explains what SQ3 is, why it matters, and how it can transform your business operations.
Why SQ3 is Different: Not Another Enterprise Platform
You Might Be Thinking: "Don't Platforms Like Salesforce or HubSpot Already Do This?"
The short answer: No, not really. Here's why SQ3 is different:
The Problem with Enterprise Platforms
Platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, and others are designed for large enterprises with:
- Big budgets (thousands of dollars per month)
- Large teams (dozens of employees)
- Complex needs (hundreds of features)
- Technical resources (IT departments)
- Long setup times (weeks or months)
But what about small and medium businesses?
Why Enterprise Platforms Don't Work for SMEs
1. Too Expensive
Enterprise Platforms:
- Cost $100-$300+ per user per month
- Require multiple users (minimum 3-5 users)
- Total cost: $300-$1,500+ per month
- Annual cost: $3,600-$18,000+
For a small business:
- ❌ Too expensive
- ❌ Can't afford it
- ❌ Not worth the investment
- ❌ Money better spent elsewhere
SQ3:
- ✅ Affordable pricing for SMEs
- ✅ Pay only for what you need
- ✅ No minimum user requirements
- ✅ Cost-effective solution
2. Too Complex
Enterprise Platforms:
- Hundreds of features you'll never use
- Complex setup and configuration
- Requires training and technical knowledge
- Overwhelming for small teams
- Takes weeks to learn and implement
For a small business:
- ❌ Too complicated
- ❌ Don't have time to learn
- ❌ Don't need all those features
- ❌ Waste of time and resources
SQ3:
- ✅ Simple and easy to use
- ✅ Only the features you need
- ✅ Quick setup (minutes, not weeks)
- ✅ No technical skills required
- ✅ Get started immediately
3. Not Designed for Social Media
Enterprise Platforms:
- Focus on email, phone, and tickets
- Social media is an afterthought
- Limited Facebook and Instagram integration
- Not optimized for social messaging
- Complex social media workflows
For businesses using Facebook and Instagram:
- ❌ Doesn't work well with social media
- ❌ Poor integration with Facebook/Instagram
- ❌ Not designed for social messaging
- ❌ Misses the main communication channel
SQ3:
- ✅ Built specifically for Facebook and Instagram
- ✅ Native social media integration
- ✅ Optimized for social messaging
- ✅ Website integration included
- ✅ Social media-first approach
4. Not Designed for Sri Lankan Market
Enterprise Platforms:
- Built for Western markets
- Limited language support
- Don't understand local business needs
- No Sinhala language support
- Generic solutions for all markets
For Sri Lankan businesses:
- ❌ Doesn't support Sinhala
- ❌ Doesn't understand local market
- ❌ Generic features not relevant
- ❌ No local support or understanding
SQ3:
- ✅ Built for Sri Lankan SMEs
- ✅ Full Sinhala and English support
- ✅ Understands local business needs
- ✅ Designed for Sri Lankan market
- ✅ Local support and understanding
5. Requires Technical Resources
Enterprise Platforms:
- Need IT department to set up
- Require technical configuration
- Need ongoing technical maintenance
- Complex integrations
- Technical support required
For small businesses:
- ❌ Don't have IT department
- ❌ Can't afford technical resources
- ❌ Don't have technical skills
- ❌ Too complex to manage
SQ3:
- ✅ No IT department needed
- ✅ No technical skills required
- ✅ Simple setup and management
- ✅ Easy to use for everyone
- ✅ Ongoing support included
6. Too Many Features You Don't Need
Enterprise Platforms:
- 100+ features
- Most features you'll never use
- Pay for features you don't need
- Overwhelming interface
- Difficult to find what you need
For small businesses:
- ❌ Don't need all those features
- ❌ Pay for unused features
- ❌ Confusing interface
- ❌ Waste of money
SQ3:
- ✅ Only features you need
- ✅ Focused on customer communication
- ✅ Simple, clean interface
- ✅ Pay only for what you use
- ✅ Easy to understand

What is SQ3?
The Simple Answer
SQ3 is a unified platform that brings all your customer messages from Facebook, Instagram, and your website into one place, and helps you respond to them faster and smarter.
Think of it like having a smart assistant that:
- Collects all customer messages from different platforms in one inbox
- Answers common questions automatically
- Understands what customers really want
- Helps you make better business decisions
Who is SQ3 For?
SQ3 is specifically designed for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Sri Lanka who:
- Use Facebook and Instagram for business
- Have a website with contact forms or chat
- Want to improve customer service
- Need to save time and reduce costs
- Want to grow their business
The Problem: Why Do We Need SQ3?
The Challenge Every Business Faces
Imagine running a business where customers message you on:
- Facebook Messenger
- Instagram Direct Messages
- Your website contact form
- Your website live chat
The problem? You have to constantly switch between these different platforms to respond to customers. This creates many challenges:
Problem 1: Too Many Places to Check
The Situation:
- You check Facebook messages in the morning
- Instagram messages at lunch
- Website messages in the evening
- But you still miss important messages!
The Impact:
- ❌ Customers feel ignored
- ❌ You lose sales opportunities
- ❌ Your team wastes time switching platforms
- ❌ Important messages get missed
Problem 2: Slow Response Times
The Situation:
- Customers send messages, but you don't see them immediately
- By the time you respond, the customer has moved on
- You can't respond when you're busy or after hours
The Impact:
- ❌ Customers get frustrated and leave
- ❌ You lose potential sales
- ❌ Your reputation suffers
- ❌ Competitors win your customers
Problem 3: Answering the Same Questions Again and Again
The Situation:
- "What are your opening hours?"
- "Do you deliver to my area?"
- "What are your prices?"
- "How can I place an order?"
Your staff spends hours answering these same questions every day.
The Impact:
- ❌ Staff time wasted on repetitive tasks
- ❌ Can't focus on growing the business
- ❌ Inconsistent answers from different staff
- ❌ Higher labor costs
Problem 4: Not Understanding What Customers Really Want
The Situation:
- A customer asks a question, but you're not sure if they want to buy, complain, or just browse
- You treat all messages the same way
- You can't prioritize urgent or important messages
The Impact:
- ❌ Missed sales opportunities
- ❌ Unhappy customers not addressed quickly
- ❌ Can't personalize your service
- ❌ Lost revenue
Problem 5: No Way to Understand Customer Feelings
The Situation:
- A customer is unhappy, but you don't know until they leave a bad review
- You can't tell if customers are satisfied or frustrated
- You react to problems instead of preventing them
The Impact:
- ❌ Customers leave without you knowing why
- ❌ Bad reviews damage your reputation
- ❌ Can't improve your service proactively
- ❌ Lost customers and revenue
Problem 6: No Smart Marketing Tools
The Situation:
- You want to send marketing messages to customers
- But you don't know who to target
- You send the same message to everyone
- You can't measure if your marketing works
The Impact:
- ❌ Ineffective marketing campaigns
- ❌ Wasted marketing budget
- ❌ Customers ignore your messages
- ❌ Low return on marketing investment
Problem 7: No Insights into Your Business
The Situation:
- You don't know how many messages you receive
- You don't know how fast you respond
- You don't know what customers ask about most
- You can't see trends or patterns
The Impact:
- ❌ Can't make informed decisions
- ❌ Don't know what's working or not
- ❌ Can't improve your operations
- ❌ Flying blind without data
