A look inside

The WhatsApp Growth Loop.

Most businesses use WhatsApp for one stage, usually support. Growth comes from running the whole loop in one channel, so nothing is lost between tools.

01Attract

Prospects start a chat from an ad, a QR code, a website button or a link.

WATCH: Cost per conversation
02Engage

Every chat gets a quick reply that qualifies intent and captures details.

WATCH: Qualification rate
03Convert

The sale closes in the chat, or on a call when it needs a personal touch.

WATCH: Chat-to-order rate
04Retain

Opted-in customers get timely, segmented updates, not blasts.

WATCH: Repeat-purchase rate
05Advocate

Happy customers are asked for feedback and referrals at the right moment.

WATCH: Referrals per 100 orders

Design ruleEvery message should either move the customer one stage forward or make them glad they opted in. If it does neither, don’t send it.
