Losing Customers on WhatsApp: Causes and Fixes?
Customers get lost on WhatsApp for three reasons: messages sit on personal phones, nobody owns each conversation, and there are no follow-up reminders. The fix is one business number, clear assignment rules and a simple CRM that records every customer and their next step.
The fix, step by step
- 01
One business number
WhatsApp Business on the company number, not staff phones.
- 02
Quick replies
Templates for common questions such as price, location and hours.
- 03
An owner per conversation
Clear assignment of enquiries to staff.
- 04
Recorded follow-up
Every customer in a CRM with the next follow-up date.
