In India most sales conversations happen on WhatsApp. When they stay on personal phones, the company loses the history the moment a salesperson leaves.
Problems with chats on personal phones
- No shared history for the next person.
- No reminders or reporting.
- Customer data leaves with the employee.
- Managers cannot see response times.
What a WhatsApp CRM adds
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Chat linked to the lead or customer | Full history in one place |
| Message templates | Consistent, approved wording for quotes and reminders |
| Scheduled messages | Follow-ups sent at the right time |
| Campaigns | Broadcast offers to a selected list |
| Assignment and notes | Anyone can pick up a conversation |
Good practice
- Message people who have agreed to hear from you and give an easy way to opt out.
- Use approved templates for business-initiated messages.
- Keep messages short with one clear next step.
- Log calls and outcomes next to the chat.
The official WhatsApp Business API has its own rules and costs. Check the current policy and pricing of your provider.
Sample message flow after an enquiry
- Instant acknowledgement: thanks, we will call you shortly.
- Call within your response target; log the outcome.
- WhatsApp the quotation or brochure the customer asked for.
- Follow up after two days with a check-in message.
- Offer a call or demo slot; record the reply in the lead.
Keep a human tone. Templates save time but personal context closes deals.
