The WhatsApp chatbot flows that generate leads are the ones with a single clear goal: qualify an enquiry, collect a quote request, book an appointment, help pick a product, or re-engage a past enquiry. Each asks a few questions, saves the answers and hands off to a person.

## 1. The enquiry qualifier

**Goal:** turn "Hi, I want details" into a usable lead.

Flow: greet, ask what they are looking for (buttons), ask one qualifying detail such as location, budget range or timing, collect name, then confirm a callback time.

**Why it works:** the customer gets a quick response, and your team gets context.

## 2. The quote request

**Goal:** collect everything needed to prepare a quote.

Flow: ask for product or service, quantity or scope, location and deadline, then summarise and confirm. Save as a structured record. This suits trade, manufacturing and services. For export businesses, a request-for-quotation flow bundling several products into one request works well, as in the one we built for FIDO Exim.

## 3. Appointment or visit booking

**Goal:** fix a time.

Flow: ask which service, offer a few time slots, confirm, send a reminder the day before. Suits clinics, real estate site visits and consultations.

## 4. The product or plan finder

**Goal:** help the customer choose.

Flow: ask three short questions (use case, size, budget), recommend one or two options with a link, then offer to connect with a person. Keep the recommendation rules scripted and avoid inventing facts.

## 5. Re-engagement

**Goal:** wake up people who enquired and went quiet.

Flow: a short, polite message to people who agreed to be contacted, referring to their earlier enquiry, with a single easy reply. Use approved templates and respect consent.

## Design rules that apply to all five

- **One goal per flow.**
- **Short messages, one question at a time.**
- **A visible way to reach a person.**
- **Save every answer as structured data.**
- **Tag the source** so you know which flow produces the best leads.
