A jewellery sale is a long conversation: a customer asks, looks at pictures, comes in to see, and decides weeks later. The WhatsApp work is keeping that thread with one person, setting a visit as a task, and bringing the customer back at the right moment.
How should the business be arranged?
| Stage | What it means | What sets the next move |
|---|---|---|
| Enquired | A customer has written; a sales associate owns the chat | A reply with options and pictures |
| Shortlisted | The customer has chosen pieces | A task for a store visit |
| Visit booked | A time is set | A confirmation message |
| Decision pending | The customer has seen the pieces | A follow-up task |
| Won or lost | A decision | A close reason for the report |
What does a store do every day?
- Answer enquiries from the store's number, sending images and documents as the customer asks.
- Keep the thread with one associate, so the customer is never asked to start again.
- Book visits as tasks and see overdue ones.
- Pass a customer to another store with the notes attached.
How do festive campaigns and records work?
Festive and occasion messages go out as campaigns from the store's number, spread across stores with a modest daily share each, under a daily ceiling and a cooldown per person, with quiet hours and an approval from a manager before the first message leaves. Send them only to customers who agreed to hear from you. Do not publish prices in a message unless you will honour them: a price in writing in a chat is a record. Orders, payments and invoices stay in your billing system.
What does the first month look like?
- Week 1: list stores, numbers and the associates on each.
- Week 2: set the stages above and write the confirmation and follow-up messages.
- Week 3: set roles so associates see only their own customers.
- Week 4: send one occasion message to opted-in customers with approval and read the report.
What are the usual mistakes?
- Sending prices that change.
- Losing a customer's thread when an associate leaves.
- One festive blast from one number.
- Payment links in chat.
Because a jewellery sale can take weeks, the thread matters more than the associate: in WavesFlo's shared inbox the conversation, its notes and the visit task stay with the store's number when someone moves on. Festive offers then go from each store's own number at a measured pace rather than as one blast.
