Executive Summary: How automated lead nurturing via WhatsApp increases conversion rates by 400% compared to email.
Email open rates hover around 20%. WhatsApp open rates exceed 90%. If your sales team isn't automating their WhatsApp outreach, they are leaving money on the table.
### The Drip Campaign Model
In platforms like WhatsMeet, we built automated sequences:
1. **Day 1:** Welcome message + Interactive 'Reply' button.
2. **Day 3:** Case study PDF attachment.
3. **Day 7:** Call-to-action link to book a meeting.
### Interactive Messages
Instead of plain text, use WhatsApp's interactive buttons. It forces a micro-commitment from the user. When a user clicks 'Yes, I am interested', a webhook fires, instantly updating the lead's status in the CRM and assigning them to a live sales agent.
