Where to Start
Review where your contact list comes from and keep only those who gave permission.
An Example
A company replaced purchased lists with contacts from events and forms. Responses increased and the number stopped getting blocked.
How CRM Helps
The CRM records the source of each contact and who requested to stop receiving messages.
Common Mistakes
Purchased lists, generic messages, and insisting with those who did not respond.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you prospect via WhatsApp?
Yes, as long as the contact has given permission to receive messages from your company, the message is relevant, and the person can opt out. Follow WhatsApp and Meta policies.
