Leveraging a WhatsApp chatbot for automating lead qualification allows businesses to instantly assess and filter prospects, ensuring that customers receive timely support at any stage of their journey. For example, businesses can configure chatbots to answer common questions about pricing, operating hours, delivery times, or product availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-954ca2a0ddb037816e41c14980ba293f\">Chatbots also play a vital role in qualifying leads automatically. Instead of asking a sales representative to spend time collecting basic information, businesses can program a chatbot to ask structured questions such as the customer\u2019s budget, location, or specific service requirements. The answers can then be used to segment leads into categories\u2014high potential, medium interest, or low priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c2c7197dd225ea0b9a11e00b096155e5\">Businesses can segment leads based on their stage in the sales process, such as identifying early-stage prospects who are just gathering information and warm leads who are showing buying intent. This step ensures that prospects are filtered and organized before they ever reach a salesperson, saving time and increasing efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c201990a499f17b524994c0dc5fa7c90\">Once a chatbot identifies a high-value or \u201chot\u201d lead, it can seamlessly transfer the conversation to a live representative.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c6cab79eb0cff983ffc0fe21fae5cd58\" id=\"deploy-whatsapp-qr-codes\">Deploy WhatsApp QR Codes<\/h4>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/whatsapp-broadcast-3-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/whatsapp-broadcast-3-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/whatsapp-broadcast-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/whatsapp-broadcast-3-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/whatsapp-broadcast-3-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/whatsapp-broadcast-3.jpg 1850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7cc3d76c6b3b2a87987f00d61c2a6a95\">Another powerful way to drive lead generation on WhatsApp is by using QR codes that connect customers directly to a chat. Businesses can generate a unique WhatsApp QR code and strategically place it across both physical and digital touchpoints. For example, including the code on business cards allows prospects to instantly continue a conversation after an in-person meeting, while displaying it on a storefront makes it easy for walk-in customers to ask questions without waiting in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3cb0e9e4532c794a1f2590be0a3112b7\">Similarly, QR codes placed on flyers, posters, or event materials provide a quick bridge between offline marketing efforts and direct online engagement. Even product packaging can include a QR code, encouraging buyers to register a warranty, ask about complementary products, or join a loyalty program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c55ed7fb26f174b5d32a5d389ef205e5\">The convenience of QR codes lies in the fact that customers don\u2019t need to manually save a number or type out a message. A simple scan takes them straight into a WhatsApp chat with the business, reducing friction and encouraging interaction. Integrating QR codes into the lead capture process creates a seamless customer journey from offline to online engagement, ensuring each touchpoint enhances the overall experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4d9a80f59d8de72b48e2a11319136b09\">To make this process even smoother, companies can set up pre-filled messages that automatically appear when a customer opens the chat.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0b265d8e51f4c0c5a9ef795d4d99e033\" id=\"run-clicktowhatsapp-ads\">Run Click-to-WhatsApp Ads<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-770fc523ee728f3416cc2707377f2bcd\">One of the most effective ways to bring new leads into WhatsApp is through Click-to-WhatsApp ads. Using Facebook and Instagram Ads Manager, businesses can create targeted campaigns with a \u201cSend Message\u201d call-to-action (CTA) that opens a WhatsApp conversation instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2cd6b88dba82c51e683a3a99f2ab13f8\">Instead of directing users to a website form or landing page, this ad format reduces friction by encouraging prospects to engage directly within a familiar messaging platform. Click-to-WhatsApp ads are a form of paid ads that drive users to WhatsApp chat links, making it easier to capture and qualify leads. With just one tap, a casual scroller becomes an active lead, ready to chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/whatsapp-verified-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/whatsapp-verified-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/whatsapp-verified-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/whatsapp-verified-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/whatsapp-verified-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/whatsapp-verified-4.jpg 1150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7121e7f2315c670d978e3a874fd22817\">The success of these ads lies in precise targeting. Businesses can define their audience based on demographics, interests, behaviors, or retargeting past website visitors, highlighting the importance of identifying and customizing campaigns for the target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-53027a507f850eefa985c72874154aae\">For example, an eCommerce brand could retarget shoppers who abandoned their carts, inviting them to complete their purchase via WhatsApp with the promise of a discount code. Meanwhile, a local service provider might target people within a specific geographic radius to generate high-intent inquiries from nearby customers.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aace72ef78469c6121a15899f4aae75e\" id=\"add-a-whatsapp-chat-widget-to-your-website\">Add a WhatsApp Chat Widget to Your Website<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-325e3a8c9e0dd37430caba06040c08a4\">Another simple but highly effective way to generate leads through WhatsApp is by adding a chat widget directly to your website. Many CRM platforms and website builders\u2014including WordPress, Wix, and Shopify\u2014offer plugins or integrations that make this process quick and seamless. Once installed, the widget appears as a floating button on your site, giving visitors an immediate way to start a conversation without having to search for your contact details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cbdfa4c36e6dc92b2c8059ad540bdffd\">This small addition can make a big difference in capturing leads, especially from users who are browsing with questions but may not be ready to fill out a contact form. A chat widget also allows businesses to add a personal touch to customer interactions, making conversations feel more human and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18a2e2189714a00dabe2ae5ca12a4fd5\" id=\"integrate-whatsapp-with-crm-systems-via-api\">Integrate WhatsApp with CRM Systems via API<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3e5c623e8782ccca8fe2206c01f3d726\">For businesses that want to scale their lead generation efforts, the WhatsApp Business API is an essential tool. Unlike the standard WhatsApp Business app, which is best suited for small businesses, the API is designed for advanced automation and high-volume communication. It allows companies to seamlessly integrate WhatsApp with their existing systems, creating a powerful engine for lead management and customer engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dcc9e0ed5e8d19480e86bc975f81eae2\">One of the most impactful use cases of the API is its ability to connect with leading CRMs. This integration ensures that every WhatsApp conversation is automatically logged into the CRM, eliminating the need for manual updates and keeping customer records accurate and up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cee560ed78471b49be2e7364d2d1fea6\">Beyond record-keeping, the integration enables businesses to assign leads to the right sales team member based on pre-set rules, such as geography, industry, or the stage of the buying journey. This ensures that no lead is left unattended and that prospects are always handled by the most relevant representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ecb38f2ec6b20d4603e3f6988c2ffaa7\">The API also unlocks the ability to trigger automated follow-ups based on customer behavior. For example, if a customer abandons their shopping cart, the system can automatically send a personalized WhatsApp message reminding them to complete the purchase, possibly with an added incentive like a discount code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-75598e5a0adfee9955c15e35d6075d3b\">Similarly, businesses can schedule reminders for appointments, send payment confirmations, or re-engage inactive leads\u2014all without manual intervention. These automated processes contribute to boosting sales by nurturing leads more effectively and increasing the chances of conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"continuously-optimize-your-lead-generation-strategy\">Continuously Optimize Your Lead Generation Strategy<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a5ea5fa81c1a5c0215f162ff5ea98fae\">Setting up WhatsApp for lead generation is just the beginning\u2014the real success comes from ongoing optimization. Businesses need to treat WhatsApp like any other marketing channel: test, measure, and refine over time. It&#8217;s also crucial to focus on adapting messaging to fit WhatsApp&#8217;s unique characteristics and ensure it aligns with your brand personality for maximum engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/schedule-whatsapp-message-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/schedule-whatsapp-message-2-1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/schedule-whatsapp-message-2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/schedule-whatsapp-message-2-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cb289d21a09de505710bf2147b715a77\">Metrics such as response times, conversion rates, and lead sources provide critical insight into how well your WhatsApp funnel is performing. For instance, if prospects are engaging with your chatbot but not moving forward, it may signal that your qualifying questions need tweaking. If conversion rates are low, it might indicate that the handoff from bot to human is happening too late. Tracking these numbers allows you to spot friction points and take corrective action quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-809b271182b9dfd872e6db029ef70c34\">Another powerful tactic is to A\/B test your messages. Experiment with different greetings, offers, or calls-to-action (CTAs), and especially the first message, to see which ones resonate most with your audience. Something as simple as changing a greeting from \u201cHow can we help you today?\u201d to \u201cLooking for the best deal? Let\u2019s chat!\u201d could dramatically improve engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eef028052c76992aa1da322eb884e3ab\">Testing promotions, follow-up reminders, different types of promotional messages to ensure compliance and effectiveness, or even the timing of your messages gives you data-driven insights into what drives the highest response and conversion rates. Providing valuable content and letting your brand&#8217;s personality shine through your communication can further improve results and help build lasting customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ad70621f88ca9e1e567da8e1e1645742\" id=\"whatsapp-messages-and-engagement\">WhatsApp Messages and Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9b63d467570696fd10f77793f6a663d5\">WhatsApp messages boast an impressive engagement rate of 98%, making the platform a standout choice for businesses aiming to connect with potential customers. The ability to send personalized messages, share images, videos, and documents, and initiate conversations directly with leads sets WhatsApp apart from other communication channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-037fc85b0d4cd3c925645ed99fb30dcf\">Businesses can use WhatsApp chatbots to provide instant responses, WhatsApp QR codes to make it easy for users to start a chat, and click-to-WhatsApp ads to seamlessly move prospects from social media sites into a WhatsApp conversation. These features empower companies to initiate conversations directly, answer questions, and guide leads through the decision-making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-944251188179805b67471dc25410dd2b\">By integrating these tools into their lead generation efforts, businesses can create a frictionless and engaging experience that keeps potential customers interested and moves them closer to making a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6bfdfcc7b4c9354d670284102e0086dc\" id=\"measuring-success-and-conversion-rates\">Measuring Success and Conversion Rates<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/whatsapp-lead-generation-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/whatsapp-lead-generation-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/whatsapp-lead-generation-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/whatsapp-lead-generation-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/w.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/whatsapp-lead-generation.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f15856ef12e3f7c59406b94908b31239\">To ensure your WhatsApp lead generation strategy is delivering results, it\u2019s essential to measure key performance indicators throughout the lead generation process. Tracking metrics such as message open rates, response rates, and conversion rates provides valuable insights into how effectively you\u2019re engaging leads and turning them into paying customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6877c3016994f195e69c72303f712101\">Conversion rates, in particular, reveal the percentage of leads who take the desired action\u2014such as making a purchase or booking a consultation\u2014after interacting with your WhatsApp messages. By analyzing these data points, businesses can identify what\u2019s working, refine their messaging, and optimize their marketing campaigns for even better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d3804660652b1e0f971a58d2e8d17951\">WhatsApp analytics tools offer a deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences, enabling you to adapt your lead generation strategy and maximize your return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-21f96fd0ca850464d3831462af264d23\" id=\"common-mistakes-to-avoid\">Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c061605be00366276a2ad988499476be\" id=\"mistake-1-neglecting-personalization\">Mistake 1: Neglecting Personalization<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fa2e59b197b4c0d31f1bb78b6254f02a\">One of the biggest pitfalls businesses fall into is sending generic, one-size-fits-all messages. Customers today expect personalized communication, especially on a channel as intimate as WhatsApp. Failing to tailor messages\u2014by using a customer\u2019s name, acknowledging past interactions, or referencing their interests\u2014can make your outreach feel robotic and impersonal. This not only reduces engagement but also risks losing the trust and attention of potential leads.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8d0687cd3df2077e4ca2e7fc3cb684f3\" id=\"mistake-2-being-too-salesy\">Mistake 2: Being Too Salesy<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-89a8cf81eb6aeeac978bfb1ebd9d148b\">Another common error is pushing too hard with aggressive sales messages. Constantly bombarding leads with promotions, discounts, or product pitches without first providing value often backfires. WhatsApp works best as a relationship-building tool, not a digital megaphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18548f205bf1957be2493fabe37bed68\">Businesses that focus on offering helpful information, answering questions, or sharing relevant content before making a sales pitch are more likely to keep customers engaged and receptive.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-55ad670826b43e789510db23b1473585\" id=\"mistake-3-ignoring-response-times\">Mistake 3: Ignoring Response Times<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-adb384f19fd14227c75b94102453caac\">Speed matters on WhatsApp. A frequent mistake is taking too long to reply\u2014or worse, not following up at all. In a world where customers expect instant answers, delayed responses can lead to frustration and lost opportunities. Ignoring response times signals a lack of professionalism and urgency, pushing leads toward competitors who can provide faster service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0d48dd4f00ed27f7581b976d09b38f7d\">Businesses should set up automated replies, chatbots, or clear response protocols to ensure leads feel heard immediately, even if a full response takes a bit longer.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b61343fb688e95191ae12b89c4fa95f8\" id=\"mistake-4-overlooking-followups\">Mistake 4: Overlooking Follow-Ups<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d1467541d342c9231ca8cdbbd8c85eae\">Another critical misstep is failing to follow up with leads after initial contact. Automating follow-up messages is essential to maintain timely and personalized communication with prospects. Many businesses make the mistake of treating a first conversation as the end of the journey, when in reality, lead nurturing requires consistent engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-51682f01c086a018181ef881ed1ed022\">Sending a polite reminder, sharing additional resources, or checking in after a few days can make the difference between a lost lead and a closed sale. Without follow-ups, businesses risk leaving potential revenue on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7243563df453905d020e5e73ac881137\" id=\"mistake-5-ignoring-consent-and-relevance\">Mistake 5: Ignoring Consent and Relevance<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-261d3177a6d8f32b643718ed3eb27449\">Respecting customer consent is not just a best practice\u2014it\u2019s essential for compliance with WhatsApp\u2019s policies. Sending unsolicited or irrelevant messages can quickly turn off prospects, damage brand reputation, and even result in account restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eb2798e02a774d20507f8cd9808921b7\">Every message should be opt-in based and aligned with the recipient\u2019s needs or interests. For example, if someone signed up for product updates, don\u2019t flood them with unrelated promotions. Maintaining relevance and respecting boundaries ensures trust, compliance, and long-term engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8d7073b45311ea5f84a01fc0caa78794\" id=\"case-studies-and-examples\">Case Studies and Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-23955204d05d0087da143f20c2c8e489\">Many businesses have harnessed the power of WhatsApp for lead generation, achieving impressive results by tailoring their approach to the platform\u2019s strengths. For instance, a retail company implemented a strategy of sending targeted messages to potential customers, resulting in a 25% increase in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-371ea5a445761f2c7ae12bf162846a42\">Another business used WhatsApp chatbots to qualify leads and initiate conversations, which led to a 30% boost in conversion rates. These examples highlight how a well-crafted lead generation strategy\u2014focused on qualifying leads, sending targeted messages, and leveraging WhatsApp chatbots\u2014can transform the way companies engage with potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-99340c0a28a98a4dd6557a29f1fbcccc\">By adopting WhatsApp for lead generation, businesses can create a direct and personalized channel that not only increases conversion rates but also builds lasting customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-99ee80b7135cde494f9fc389547b43da\" id=\"wrapup\">Wrap-Up<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7d0b4e7a8d25985c2612eaa3b2c7fde8\">WhatsApp has emerged as a powerful platform for lead generation, offering businesses a suite of tools to attract, engage, and convert potential customers. By utilizing WhatsApp messages, chatbots, QR codes, and click-to-WhatsApp ads, companies can create a seamless and interactive experience that drives sales and enhances customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6b13911a8cf3571a471eaf6c6b9da6d0\">As WhatsApp continues to evolve and introduce new features, the opportunities for innovative lead generation strategies will only expand. Businesses that embrace WhatsApp as a core channel for lead generation today will be well-positioned to capitalize on future trends and maintain a competitive edge. Whether you\u2019re looking to increase sales, improve customer relationships, or streamline your lead generation process, WhatsApp offers the flexibility and reach needed to achieve your goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businesses need more than just a presence\u2014they need smart, effective ways to connect with potential customers and turn those connections [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6],"tags":[4,2,3,5],"class_list":["post-215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-marketing","tag-business","tag-marketing","tag-sales","tag-whatsapp"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
