WhatsApp is where Indian SMB deals actually progress — but most teams send one 'Hi sir, any update?' message and stop. This pack lays out a 7-touch follow-up sequence from first response to close: which message goes out at which interval, which WhatsApp Business API template category each message falls under (marketing vs utility — they are priced differently), and where to branch when a lead goes quiet. Each touch includes the message goal, a copy skeleton you can adapt, and the exit condition that moves the lead to the next pipeline stage. A separate re-engagement branch covers leads silent for 7+ days without resorting to spammy 'gentle reminder' loops. The customisation notes explain how to keep messages inside WhatsApp's template approval rules and when a quick call beats another message. Built to be run manually from any WhatsApp Business app, or automated end-to-end with a CRM's WhatsApp integration.
Leads reply on WhatsApp and then rot there: no defined cadence, every rep improvises follow-ups, marketing-category templates get used where a utility message would do, and silent leads are abandoned instead of re-engaged.
SMB sales teams in India that qualify or close on WhatsApp — real estate, education, D2C, financial services, and agencies.
