The short answer

Customers message. They would rather send a WhatsApp at ten at night than ring in the morning. A business that replies in minutes gets the work; one that replies the next afternoon often does not.

AI lead follow-up on WhatsApp means an agent that sends the first reply, carries on the conversation and keeps following up. Dean Keating, the publisher of this guide, sets this up. He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, the same county as Eastleigh, and sets everything up remotely. Call Dean or book the free AI call.

What the agent does on WhatsApp

Replies to the new enquiry. Within minutes, day or night.

Asks what you would ask. What the customer wants, where they are, when they are free.

Follows up. If the customer goes quiet, it nudges again, politely, until they book or say no.

Chases quotes. A quote sent yesterday gets a follow-up tomorrow.

Books. The call or the job goes into your diary.

Hands over. Anything unusual or sensitive goes to a person.

His website lists this work and says his agents answer and follow up across email, web and WhatsApp.

One thread, not three

The same agent should cover WhatsApp, email and the website form, so that a customer who starts on one and replies on another is not asked the same questions twice.

Rules to keep it honest

Tell customers it is an automated assistant if they ask. Only message people who contacted you or agreed to hear from you. Make it easy to stop the messages. Keep a person reachable.

What to check before you buy

Can you read every WhatsApp conversation the agent has had? What does it say when it does not know? Who changes the wording when your prices change? Does it work with the number your customers already use? Ask on the first call.

What it costs

There is no published price list. The cost depends on what is automated and is given after a free first call, with no obligation to go ahead.
