In Spain the client writes on WhatsApp, and that is both the advantage and the risk
Estate agencies, clinics, academies, workshops, agencies and distributors all report the same pattern. The enquiry arrives as a WhatsApp message, the questions and the price are discussed there, and a phone call closes it. Response speed on that channel decides a surprising number of deals.
The risk is that the whole relationship lives on a personal handset. The business cannot see how many enquiries arrived, cannot report on what was promised, and loses the history the day that person leaves. A company number connected through the official WhatsApp Business API changes the ownership without changing the client experience: the same conversation, now attached to a lead record alongside the calls, the presupuesto and the next action.
