How to serve customers across several channels without losing messages

Today customers message you on WhatsApp, comment on Instagram and ask on Messenger. Without order, some messages get lost and so do sales.

A few rules let you answer everyone without being glued to your phone.

Choose a main channel

Decide where you want to close sales, usually WhatsApp. On other channels, reply briefly and guide the person to that main channel.

Set service hours

State in your profile when you reply. Customers accept waiting if they know when to expect an answer.

Use quick replies

Prepare messages for the most common questions and personalize them with the customer's name.

  • Greeting and introduction
  • Prices and availability
  • Payment methods
  • Delivery areas and times

Check every channel at fixed times

Instead of checking constantly, set aside three or four moments a day to review WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook in order. Nothing slips through.

Keep a follow-up record

Note who asked for a price, who is about to pay and who needs a reminder. A notebook or spreadsheet is enough to start.

Serving several channels is manageable with a main channel, clear hours and prepared replies.
