Diaspora businesses often receive serious inquiries through WhatsApp, social media and personal referrals. The risk is that good leads remain trapped in individual conversations.
Capture the lead while the conversation is active
Record name, contact information, service interest, source and the next action as soon as the inquiry becomes meaningful. Waiting until the end of the week guarantees lost context.
Keep WhatsApp for conversation, not memory
The chat can remain the communication channel while the CRM becomes the system of record. That makes the lead visible to the team and survives staff changes.
Every lead needs a status and next date
“Interested” is not enough. Record whether the person is new, contacted, qualified, scheduled, proposed, won or lost—and when the next follow-up should happen.
Review unconverted leads regularly
A weekly stale-lead review can surface prospects who were forgotten after asking for a price, document or appointment.
