01The challenge

Lost lead emails and big lists to manage

New leads from the website were announced by email, and in some workflows those emails didn’t arrive reliably.

Messaging large customer and prospect lists took a lot of coordination, the team couldn’t see what had been delivered or read, and customers had no easy way to reply.

02What they switched on

Campaigns, enquiries and lead alerts in one place

The lender moved its outreach and lead handling to WhatsApp with SAMWAD.
