The post Happy Labour Day Wishes for Clients To Send via WhatsApp or Text (2025) appeared first on Privyr Blog.

However, don’t let their “ghosting” be your biggest sales killer! 

If you want more insurance sales, you’ll need a consistent follow-up plan to nurture every new lead that enters your pipeline. And luckily, you can just copy ours.Our 5-step follow-up sequence covers how to reach out to new leads and how to follow up with them, even if they don’t reply. Complete with 5 scripts you can save and auto-personalise.

5-step follow-up sequence to convert new leads in insurance

Pro-tip: Click the “Personalise This Template” button to save each follow-up script directly to your Privyr account.

On the mobile app, you can auto-personalise and send them within seconds to your clients via WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS, and more. Scripts are numbered so you know how to send them in sequence.

Don’t have a Privyr account yet? Create one for free here.

Step #1: Start with a quick introduction

Ideally, you should message your lead within 15 minutes of them expressing interest in your insurance services.

This will instantly maximise your chances of getting a reply from the lead.

"Hi Ben, thanks for your interest in ACME 360+ Life Insurance. I’m Allan, your ACME representative.

Just one quick question before I send you our brochure. *Do you currently have life insurance?*"

Personalise This Template

We always recommend short introduction messages, because new leads are more likely to respond to you if it’s easy to do so.

Need more ideas for your first message? We’ve compiled 20 WhatsApp introduction message templates here.

Step #2: Follow-up on their interest

Send this follow-up one or two days after your initial message.

This could help regain the attention of those leads who stopped responding after you sent them your introduction message or your brochure.

"Hi Ben, hope you’re doing well! Did you have time to see my last message?

Whether you’re currently insured or not, our Life 360+ Insurance Plan gives you 3 KEY benefits:

Wider coverage than most insurance plans on the market
Affordable plans from only *$0.09 / day*
Award-winning claims process

I’m happy to jump on a quick call if you have any questions."

Personalise This Template

Step #3: See if they are up for a quick phone call again

Send them this message three to five days after your previous follow-up.

Maybe you or your lead prefers to discuss insurance matters over the phone. Here’s a script to schedule a time for that call!

"Hi Ben! Life insurance has so many layers that it can be overwhelming sometimes.

But I’m always here to answer any questions you may have about insurance in general, and suggest the right coverage for you.

If you want, I could give you a quick call in 5 minutes to understand you and your lifestyle better? Or let me know a time you prefer."

Personalise This Template

Step #4: Gather more insights on their insurance situation

If the lead is still not being very responsive, send this follow-up three to five days after your last message.

The goal is for you to gain more insights into their current insurance situation, so you can send more personalised content in interactions that follow.

"Hi Ben, it’s Allan here again! Just checking in again to see if you’re still interested in getting insured with ACME 360+ Life Insurance.

Let me know what you think – just send me the number that best applies to you

1⃣ I’m interested, but I need more info before deciding.
2⃣ I’m interested, but ask me again in a week as I’m busy.
3⃣ I’m interested, but I’m exploring other options first.
4⃣ Not interested. I already found the best life insurance.

I’ll do my best to assist you. "

Personalise This Template

Remember that you have to make it extremely easy for them to answer your question, especially because they’re already not very responsive.

Step #5: Continue to send them relevant offers

Dealing with leads who don’t engage with you despite multiple follow-up attempts? Send this message three to four weeks later, or every time you have a relevant offer they may be interested in.

Insurance can be a complex and somewhat high-commitment purchase. It helps to have a long-term follow-up plan to convert leads who may not be ready to buy in the next few weeks, but maybe they will be in a few months.

Here’s a script you can use (and repurpose!) for long-term follow-ups.

"Hi Ben, hope you’ve been doing well!

I thought you might find this interesting since you were looking into ACME 360+ Life Insurance before.

We recently launched a new term life insurance plan – ACME Guard. It offers even more affordable policies + comprehensive coverage.

May I send you more info?

- Allan"

Summary

Do give our 5-step follow-up a plan a try! Keep pushing forward and expand your follow-ups beyond the first or second outreach – this is where most other insurance agents are giving up and losing prospects!

With the Privyr app, it’s easy to save and customise a follow-up sequence like the one we just shared. Stay on top of your follow-ups with automatic reminders and sales scripts for every touchpoint – auto-personalised for your clients on WhatsApp, iMessage, and more in just one click.

The post 5-step follow-up sequence for new insurance leads appeared first on Privyr Blog.

Yes, this probably means running ads to find new leads, but…

This could be leads who came into your pipeline many weeks, months, or even years ago, but did not convert for some reason.

Whether they stopped replying, or decided not to buy the property last time, having new listings means having new opportunities to talk to them again.

Old leads can be much easier to nurture and convert than new leads, especially if your new listing is similar to the property they were looking at before.

Not sure what to say? Just copy our 3-step follow-up sequence for promoting new property listings to old leads.

Pro-tip: Click the “Personalise this template” button to save each message directly to your Privyr app.

The message templates are numbered, so you can use them in order. Use Privyr to quickly personalise and send each message for your leads and clients on WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS, and more.

Don’t have a Privyr account yet? Create one for free here.

Step #1: Share the new listing with them

Avoid just sending the PDF brochure for the new property or development without an accompanying message. It’s very likely that your lead will just ignore it.

Make a better impression with this script to re-engage old leads.

"Hi Jason, hope you and your wife are well!

I remembered that you were looking at 2-bedroom apartments in Edenbrook last year, but the development wasn’t the perfect match for you.

Just wanted to share that there’s a brand new project that just launched in the area, which reminded me of you.

Located in the heart of Edenbrook with easy access to major highways, this development boasts units that are spacious and luxurious.

Would you like to see the floorplans?

- Lisa, ACME Realty"

Personalise This Template

By the way, here’s one very important rule that we follow when creating this first message…

If you’re trying to reconnect with leads you haven’t spoken to in months (or years), it helps to send them a more personalised message instead of a generic one that’s obviously being bulk-sent. This will increase your chances of successfully reconnecting and getting a sale.

Step #2: Find out what they’re interested in now

If they don’t reply, send this message two or three days after the previous follow-up.

Maybe the lead is not interested in your new listing because their preferences have changed over time. So you should try to understand what their current interests are to keep the conversation alive.

"Hi Jason! The last time we spoke, you said you were looking for apartments in Edenbrook for your family. Has that changed?

Send me the number of the response you’re thinking about?

1⃣ Give me more info on the newly launched Edenbrook apartment.
2⃣ I want to look at properties in another location:
3⃣ Not looking to buy property right now.

Thanks and have a great day! "

Step #3: Send them festive greetings or other listings

If the lead ignores you or tells you they’re no longer interested in buying property, you should still keep in touch with them, given that they didn’t ask you to stop contacting them.

You can maintain your touchpoints by: 

1. Sending them festive greetings every year, like Christmas wishes, New Year wishes for clients).
2. Sharing other new listings relevant to them – just repurpose the scripts in Step #1 and #2 of this article!

They may continue to ignore you for a long time, but you still have the chance to get the sale when they’re ready to buy – but only IF they remember you months or years later.

The way to make sure they remember you is by maintaining your touchpoints.

"Hi Jason, as the year comes to a close, I want to express my gratitude for your trust and support in me as your real estate representative.

Wishing you an amazing 2024 filled with joy and great successes!

Send my best regards to your wife as well.

Step #1: Appointment reminder for house viewing

Send this message script before the scheduled appointment as a gentle reminder for your lead. If possible, include details on how to get there to make the process even easier for them.

“Hi Andy, looking forward to meeting you at the Haven Residences showflat tomorrow for your viewing.

1.30pm

Self-drive: Free visitor parking available

Step #2: Thank you message after property viewing

Send this message template within the same day after the viewing to impress your leads with great overall service.

“Hi Andy, thanks for coming to check out the Haven Residences showflat today!

The spacious layout and dual-key concept seem to be features that you really loved. I think they’re great too. 

If you have any further questions about this development, feel free to ask me here.”

USE THIS TEMPLATE

Step #3: Follow-up on interest after house viewing

Send this WhatsApp follow-up one or two days after the viewing. See if the prospect had time to think more about the property they viewed.

“Hi Andy, hope you’re having a good day! I just wanted to see what you think after viewing the Haven showflat recently.

I totally understand that buying a property is a big decision with many factors involved – happy to answer any questions you may have over text or call.

If you’re ready to secure your unit at Haven Residences, I can also walk you through the next steps. Just send me a ”

USE THIS TEMPLATE

Step #4: Follow up on interest (again )

Don’t be shy to send another follow-up! Maybe they missed your previous message, forgot to reply, or just needed more time to think. Try to engage the lead again within three to five days after the last follow-up.

“Hi Andy, just checking in again to see if you’re still interested in the project you recently viewed. I’ll keep it quick.

What do you think of Haven Residences @ Chicago?

1⃣ I’m interested, but I need more info before deciding.
2⃣ I’m interested, but I’m exploring other options first.
3⃣ Not interested. I want to look at other projects.

Send me the number, and I’ll do my best to assist you. ”

USE THIS TEMPLATE

Step #5: Create a sense of urgency, if they’re really interested

Send this message if the property you’re selling has a limited-time promotion or limited availability. Ideally, you should try to send this within one or two weeks after your last message. Any longer and the lead may start to forget about the property they viewed.

Encourage those leads who are almost ready to buy to take the next step.

“Hi Andy, how are you? Some quick updates on Haven Residences.

I’ve been told there are quite a limited number of units left with the layout you were looking for, especially in the towers with unobstructed views of the city.

If you love the development but need more time to think, you could always place a *refundable* deposit of $200 to reserve the unit you absolutely love, and decide later.

Send me a *Yes* if you’d like to do so and I’ll share which units are still available.”

Continuous follow-up, even if they stop replying

You’re very likely to encounter cases where the lead stops replying entirely, even after sending all five messages above. However, this isn’t the end of their journey with you as their real estate agent.

Leads may ignore you for many reasons you cannot control, but give them enough time and they’ll eventually be ready to buy a property.

Give yourself the opportunity to capture those sales by being proactive with your follow-ups and touch points – even if it’s just sending them festive greetings, like new year wishes on WhatsApp. You could also share new listings you think they’d find interesting.

Don’t worry if you feel like you’ve missed the opportunity to connect with some of the leads you already have.

In fact, here are 20 WhatsApp follow-up messages to re-engage leads, even those you haven’t spoken to in months or years.

WhatsApp introduction messages to send a product brochure

A common mistake salespeople make is bombarding leads with all their information in the first message. This can overwhelm your lead! Additionally, if you’ve never messaged them on a messaging app like WhatsApp, they may not be able to open the information you send them. But, if you wait for them to reply before you send your product brochure, then they’ll be able to open the information you send over.

Use these introductions to greet your prospect, then offer to send over more information. Ideally, you’re sending this almost immediately after you receive your lead. That’s when their interest in your product will be highest.

Additionally, we’ve written these template messages to prompt your lead to reply with a call time that works for them, if they are unavailable at the time you send.

The post 19 WhatsApp New Year Message Templates for Clients in 2026 🥂 appeared first on Privyr Blog.

Experienced salespeople, marketers, and client servicers will tell you to never underestimate the power of a well-crafted holiday message.

A simple WhatsApp message or text can help you connect with your client, warming up a relationship even if it has been a while since you’ve last communicated. Even better, the next time they consider making a purchase, they’re more likely to remember you and reach out.

Feel free to use our message templates for WhatsApp or the SMS app of your choice.

Table of Contents:

• WhatsApp Christmas messages for new clients
• WhatsApp Christmas messages for long-time clients
• WhatsApp Christmas messages for customers or leads you haven’t engaged with in a long time
• WhatsApp Christmas messages for customers that offer a promotion

Just remember that there are right and wrong ways to write and send that message. Consider:

1. The need to stand out from the crowd

You’re not the only salesperson trying to reconnect with that client. Your customer will be receiving many of these messages on or around Christmas, not only from your peers in sales and marketing but also from their family and friends. So, you’ll need to make sure your message is memorable in a positive way.

2. The risk of seeming opportunistic – or even worse, manipulative

Your seasonal wishes for your client are probably genuine, just like your desire to get them to buy from you. The trick is to balance these two so your client doesn’t think you’re using a big holiday to heckle or hard sell them.

3. Sending a message that includes details about your relationship with your client

You know your clients best. Any of the templates we offer you can and should include your customers’ names and any details about their family and preferences, if you have them.

This helps remind them about your relationship, and comes across as way less generic than a blanket “Merry Christmas!”

WhatsApp Christmas messages for new clients

You can use these templates for clients or customers who you’ve met recently or who are still moving through your sales process. Feel free to work personal details into the message and express a desire to continue to work together in the future.

Hi Joey

Wishing you a wonderful and magical holiday season from me and everyone at Strength with Grace Pilates!

WhatsApp Christmas messages for long-time clients

Use these templates for clients or customers who you have known for a long time, or who have bought from you before.

While it’s always a good idea to include personal details – such as information about your client’s family or hobbies – in outreach to a client, a holiday like Christmas is an especially great time to highlight what you know about them and their families.

At the same time, you can use the message to express your appreciation for their continued support.

Hi Charlie!

Merry Christmas! I wanted to reach out and tell you how thankful I am to be your representative at ACME Insurance.

Wishing you, Ella, and Fluffy a beautiful holiday season filled with joy and laughter. 

Hello Lee

WhatsApp Christmas messages for customers or leads you haven’t engaged with in a long time

Ideally, you’re regularly following up with your prospects so that you never have to send a WhatsApp message to them after a long time. But if communication has fallen off between you and your leads for some reason, don’t worry!

These Christmas messages can help re-engage your leads – and remind them of who you are, what you’re selling, and any interactions you’ve had in the past.

WhatsApp Christmas messages for clients that offer a promotion

Festive seasons like Christmas are great times to offer your customers a little deal to celebrate and encourage them to revisit your conversation history either today or later on.

However, make sure you pay attention to timing. If you’re sending the message on Christmas or the day before, don’t put out an offer that pushes customers to buy that day. Save that message for earlier in the month.

But if you want to offer a discount code or promotion good for your client’s next purchase or for sometime in the next few months, go right ahead!

Merry Christmas! Wishing you a holiday season full of light and love.

Understanding WhatsApp’s policies

To understand WhatsApp bans, it’s important to understand WhatsApp’s policies first so you use it “responsibly”. The platform strictly prohibits spamming, unauthorised automations, and the use of third-party apps that mimic WhatsApp’s functionality. These measures, as WhatsApp explains, are important for maintaining an environment that respects individual privacy and promotes hassle-free communication. Here are some WhatsApp policies you’ll need to understand:

Age Restriction:

First things first, you need to be at least 13 years old to use WhatsApp, or 16 if you’re in the European Union. For minors, parental consent is required.

Using WhatsApp:

Next up, the golden rule – respect. WhatsApp wants you to use the service responsibly, without infringing on the rights of others or breaking any laws. WhatsApp is serious about maintaining its reputation as a positive and safe communication platform.

Unauthorised Automation or Bulk-Sending:

WhatsApp strictly prohibits any use of automation or bulk-sending tools that have not been authorised. How would you know if you’ve used an unauthorised bulk-sender? A good indication is that you’ve used a third-party app that requires you to scan your WhatsApp QR code to gain access to your account. For more information, check out our article on the best way to bulk-send on WhatsApp.

Harmful Activities:

Activities that infringe on others’ rights, break the law, or disrupt the functioning of the app, are considered harmful activities by WhatsApp. They may include harassment, intimidation, hate speech, impersonation, sharing illegal content, spamming, or trying to hack the app. Resorting to any of such harmful activities can lead to a ban. To put simply, you will be banned from using whatsapp if you don’t respect the rules of the platform and its users.

Updates to the Terms:

WhatsApp’s Terms of Service may change as the platform evolves. As a user, you agree to accept these updates to continue using the service. Always stay updated with the latest terms to ensure a smooth experience.

Remember, being a responsible WhatsApp user is all about understanding and respecting these terms, the rights of others, and the platform’s rules.

Common reasons for a WhatsApp ban

WhatsApp can ban accounts without prior warning if they believe the account poses a severe risk to the community. Hence, adhering to WhatsApp’s policies and using the platform responsibly is always recommended. However, in some rare instances, WhatsApp may automatically ban you out of suspicion that you may have been involved in malicious activity if it notices a sudden spike in your activity.

If your number has been banned from WhatsApp, here are some common reasons for WhatsApp ban you’ll want to know:  

Using unofficial WhatsApp applications

WhatsApp discourages the use of unauthorised versions of the app, such as WhatsApp Plus or GB WhatsApp. These third-party applications are not developed by WhatsApp (in spite of their name), and thus cannot guarantee the security standards the official app does. How to know if the third-party tool you’re using is unsafe? If the app doesn’t open up the official WhatsApp application when you want to send a message, it could be an unsafe tool.

If you have been using these unofficial apps and WhatsApp team detects it, your number will be banned from using WhatsApp.

Suggested Tool: This WhatsApp Bulk Sender tool helps you bulk-send personalised WhatsApp messages to multiple people, even if you haven’t added them to your phonebook.

Sending spam or bulk messages

WhatsApp’s policies strictly prohibit spamming. WhatsApp will ban your number if you have been spamming people on the platform.

Alternatively, if you’re sending a high volume of similar messages to multiple users, especially those who are not in your contact list, WhatsApp may interpret this as spam. Bulk-forwarding of messages to multiple contacts may also be considered as spamming. Violation of these rules may result in a ban of your WhatsApp account.

Suggested Read: How to Send Bulk WhatsApp Messages without Getting Banned

Too many users are reporting you

If a significant number of users block you or report your account due to inappropriate behaviour, content, or spam, WhatsApp may ban your account. This part can be tricky if you’re using your phone number for business communications. Sometimes, while reaching out to your leads, they may mistake your messages for spam and report you if your message isn’t clear or sounds robotic.

WhatsApp doesn’t know what happens outside WhatsApp or whether you’re spamming or genuinely reaching out to leads. Therefore, always make sure you’re sending a clear and concise message to your leads when you’re reaching out to them for the first time. Always introduce yourself in the first line of the message. This ensures the people know why you’re messaging them. Here’s an article on how to message new leads so they actually reply to you.

Creating fake account or impersonating someone

Creating a false identity, impersonating someone, or using a profile picture that’s not yours, especially to mislead or harm others, is against WhatsApp’s policies and can result in a ban.

Promoting illegal activities

Conducting any illegal activities, including sharing content that promotes violence, illegal goods, or services, can lead to an immediate and permanent ban of your WhatsApp account. 

Sharing inappropriate content

Sharing explicit, offensive, or harmful content is against WhatsApp’s policies. This includes hate speech, graphic violence, nudity, or any form of discrimination. It’s also a common reason behind WhatsApp account bans.  

WhatsApp Terms of Service violation 

Violation of any other terms as outlined in WhatsApp’s Terms of Service can also lead to your account being banned from using WhatsApp.

How to check if your WhatsApp number is banned

The answer to knowing if your WhatsApp number is banned is pretty straightforward. Simply launch the WhatsApp application on your phone. WhatsApp will immediately display a notification or message informing you of the ban or temporary suspension if your number has been banned. You won’t be left in the dark in case of such actions as the app itself will make it clear if any action has been taken against your number.

Types of WhatsApp Bans

The WhatsApp team may ban your number or account without prior warning if they believe that the account poses a risk to the community or that the account was created with malicious intent.

There are basically two types of bans on WhatsApp: Temporary and Permanent. You can know which ban was imposed on your account from your app. Let’s discuss the two types of bans. 

Temporary ban

Temporary WhatsApp ban is a first-level measure against policy violations. You will be temporarily banned from WhatsApp if you violate its policies but the violations are less serious. If you’re using an unsupported version of WhatsApp, or if your activities are considered spammy but not necessarily malicious, you may receive a temporary ban.

Temporary banned WhatsApp numbers will not be able to access the account for a specified period, ranging from a few hours to several days. A countdown timer will usually be displayed, showing the length of the ban. The aim of this ban is to give users a chance to correct their behaviour.

If you’ve received a temporary ban due to the use of an unofficial version of WhatsApp, you’ll need to back up your chat history (if possible), delete the unauthorised apps, and then install the official WhatsApp application from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Permanent ban

A permanent ban is the most serious action WhatsApp can take against an account. This action is usually taken for severe or repeated violations of WhatsApp’s policies.

Some actions leading to a permanent ban could include spreading harmful or illegal content, continuously spamming other users, getting blocked by a significant number of people in a short time, or any other severe violation of WhatsApp’s Terms of Service.

Once an account is permanently banned, it cannot be reinstated. You’ll need to create a new account with a new number in order to use WhatsApp again. However, you can reach out to WhatsApp’s support team for further clarification or to appeal against the decision if you think your number has been banned unfairly. But keep in mind that WhatsApp’s decision is final in the case of violations leading to a permanent ban.

How to Unbanned from WhatsApp quickly

Once your number is banned by WhatsApp, there are some immediate corrective actions you can take to recover it. But you’ll have to go through different courses of action for temporary and permanent bans. Here’s a guide on how to quickly unban a WhatsApp number.

How to unbanned my WhatsApp number from a temporary ban?

If you receive an in-app message saying your account is “Temporarily banned”, your WhatsApp account is banned for a limited period of time and will be reinstated soon. A temporary ban is more like a warning from WhatsApp that your activity might not be adhering to their policy. This usually happens if you’re using an unofficial version of WhatsApp, or harvesting information, which is known as scraping.

However, keep in mind that a temporary ban might lead to a permanent ban if you have failed to review your activities and fix them. Here are recommended steps for you to take to get unbanned from a temporary ban.

1. Log out from and delete unofficial apps that mimic WhatsApp.
2. Cease scrapping activities.
3. Wait it Out: You may wait it out until you’re able to use your account for temporary bans. During this time, review WhatsApp’s Terms of Service and make sure you’re not breaking any rules.
4. Appeal the Ban: If you think you have been wrongfully banned and can’t wait till your account is reinstated, you can appeal to WhatsApp support. If it’s a permanent ban, you’ll need to appeal to WhatsApp. Open the app, where you’ll see a screen informing you of the ban. Click on “Contact Us”.

How to unbanned my WhatsApp number from a permanent ban?

If your account is banned permanently, you’ll see a message saying “This account is not allowed to use WhatsApp”. Permanent bans are mostly irreversible. However, if you think you were falsely banned from WhatsApp, you can appeal for it in order to get your WhatsApp account unbanned. You may want to follow the process below.

1. Appeal the Ban: If it’s a permanent ban, you’ll need to appeal to WhatsApp. Open the app, where you’ll see a screen informing you of the ban. Click on “Contact Us”.
2. Write Your Appeal: In the text field, write your appeal. Clearly state that you believe your account has been banned unfairly and request a review. Be polite and professional in your communication and include relevant and complete details that may help your case.
3. Send Your Appeal: Once you’ve written your appeal, click “Send”. It may take a few days for WhatsApp to respond, so be patient.

Ensure your appeal message includes an explanation of the corrective actions you’ve taken and a commitment to adhere to WhatsApp’s policies moving forward. Keep in mind that WhatsApp deals with numerous requests like yours, so they may take some time to review your case and get back to you. 

WhatsApp unban request message templates

If you’re having trouble writing an appeal request message to WhatsApp to unban your number, here are suggested templates for different situations. 

Situation 1. Mass Messaging or Spamming

Your number can be flagged as spam if you have been sending a large number of unsolicited messages or repeatedly sending the same message. This can result in a ban. 

Suggested appeal template

Dear WhatsApp Support, I believe my number was banned because I’ve been sending numerous messages from my WhatsApp Business account. However, I assure you that I never intended to and haven’t misled the recipients with my messages. However, I also admit that I wasn’t fully aware of the guidelines, and I will be mindful of them in the future. I kindly request you to reconsider and unban my number. Thank you.

Situation 2. Creating multiple groups with unknown contacts

Rapidly creating multiple groups with many users who aren’t saved in your contact list can seem suspicious. This may sometimes lead to a ban.

Suggested appeal template 

Dear WhatsApp Support, I recently created several groups which may have raised suspicion. These groups were made for a community event with my loyal customers. I apologise if this action violated any guidelines and ensure that I’ll be mindful of them in the future. I also request you to restore my account.

Situation 3. Receiving many block or report complaints

When a significant number of users block or report you, WhatsApp may consider your activity as suspicious and ban your account. 

Suggested appeal template 

Dear WhatsApp Support, I’ve come to understand that many users may have reported or blocked my number. I’m not sure why this happened, but I promise to adhere to WhatsApp guidelines moving forward. I would really appreciate it if you consider unbanning my account.

Situation 4. Using modified WhatsApp versions or unauthorised apps

Using unofficial versions of WhatsApp or unauthorised external tools can lead to a ban since these could violate WhatsApp’s Terms of Use as well as data privacy regulations.

Suggested appeal template

Dear WhatsApp Support, I’m writing to request you to reactivate my account that has been recently banned. I suppose using an external app to manage my account was the reason behind it. I was genuinely unaware that using external tools to manage my WhatsApp account was against the terms of service. I have now uninstalled it and also made sure I have the official WhatsApp version. 

Situation 5. General violation of WhatsApp’s Terms of Service

Engaging in activities that directly violate WhatsApp’s Terms of Service, like automated messaging, can result in a ban.

Suggested appeal template

Dear WhatsApp Support, I apologise for inadvertently violating the terms of service. I have now reviewed them thoroughly and will ensure full compliance moving forward. I kindly request the restoration of my account.

While appealing, be respectful, acknowledge any mistakes, and assure WhatsApp that you will adhere to their guidelines in the future.

Next steps after your appeal

After lodging your appeal, await the team’s response. They might ask for further information or detail the next steps. Depending on the severity of your alleged violation, your account might be reinstated, or the ban may remain.

Preventing Future Bans

Once you’re back on WhatsApp, it’s important to prevent any future bans. You can follow some rules for yourself, including sticking to the official version of WhatsApp, refraining from spamming, respecting others’ privacy, and ensuring your behaviour aligns with the platform’s policies. Responsible usage of WhatsApp not only prevents bans but also contributes to a healthier digital communication space.

How to contact WhatsApp Support? 

If you believe your WhatsApp account has been banned unfairly and you’d like to appeal the decision, you should reach out to WhatsApp’s customer support to appeal your ban. There are different ways to contact WhatsApp customer support. Let’s discuss them below.  

Directly from the Banned Message

When you try to log in to your banned account, you’ll see a message informing you that your number is banned from using WhatsApp. That message mostly comes with an option, such as “Contact Support” or “Learn More.” Tap on it. This will open a pre-formatted email or contact form. Provide a detailed explanation about your situation and ask for a review of the ban.

Through WhatsApp Settings

If you can still access the app settings,

• Open WhatsApp.
• Tap on the three dots in the top right corner to open the menu.
• Go to “Settings” > “Help” > “Contact Us.”
• Describe your situation in the provided space clearly and concisely.

WhatsApp support email for banned number

You can also email WhatsApp’s support directly via [email protected]. While reaching out via email, use a clear subject line, such as “Appeal for banned number” to make your issue noticeable.

In the email body, describe the situation, acknowledging any mistakes, and request a review of your account’s status.

Web support

You can also reach out to WhatsApp by visiting the official WhatsApp website.

• Navigate to the Support or Help section.
• Look for relevant FAQs or guides. If you can’t find a solution, there might be a “Contact Us” option.

Conclusion

Dealing with WhatsApp bans can be challenging, but understanding the platform’s policies and respecting the digital communication environment can save you from such hassles. While the appeal process offers a chance of account reinstatement, preventing any possible ban is always the best option. So, always make sure to understand WhatsApp policies and not violate them.

Why contact leads on WhatsApp?

Reaching out to leads on WhatsApp has many benefits. First and foremost, WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps with a large user base with different demographics. Secondly, contacting leads for the first time via messaging apps can have a much better response rate than other communication channels. Let’s explore in detail.  

The first thing you want to do and should do is quickly approach your leads once you get their information. You do have a few options in how to open your very first conversation with new leads. You can approach them via a phone call, email, or a messaging app. 

A phone call can be a costly decision because people may not be available to answer you at all times. What’s worse… You just waste your time and effort with each missed call. Also, according to research, people do not appreciate sales calls on their personal numbers. In fact, millennials prefer messaging over phone calls – even for personal communications. 

As for email, it can be a good way to approach leads when you want to explain your products in more detail and provide links to supporting content. However, the problem with emails is that most of your leads are highly likely to overlook your message, just like a hundred and twenty other promotional emails they receive in their inbox daily.

This brings us to the third choice: approaching your new leads through messaging apps. People are more likely to notice their message notifications each time they use their mobile phones. Even if the message isn’t noticed immediately, users will check it later at their convenience because they frequently use messaging apps.  

WhatsApp isn’t just an excellent messaging app for personal and business messaging, it’s also wildly popular. Most of your clients (if not all) are probably on WhatsApp and they prefer using it over other messaging apps because of its simplicity, familiarity, and the features that come with it. Introducing your business on WhatsApp means your message will likely be opened and replied to.

Messaging a cold lead vs warm lead

If you’re using WhatsApp as the tool to connect with your leads, you’ll often be sending your first introduction messages to two different types of leads: cold and warm. A lead is cold or warm depending on how much knowledge you have about them. If you’re shooting your promotional messages to random numbers without even knowing they’re your potential customers, they are cold leads. On the other hand, if you’re responding to people who have shown interest in your product or service through website forms or lead ads, they are your warm leads. 

How to write a great introduction message to Cold leads

Cold leads are the random people that receive your promotional messages about your products or services without knowing who you are. The leads haven’t shown interest in your products or service and have no idea about you. They just see your message on their WhatsApp all of a sudden.

While more people tend to ignore promotional messages, well-crafted introduction messages still have a chance of being opened and getting a response. You just need to be super sharp and upfront about the problem you’re solving or the promotion you’re doing. You have to mention your offer directly so the recipient knows exactly what they can get. Your message should be truly transactional and to the point.   

Let’s say you’re a real estate agent specialising in selling houses and want to let more people who want to sell their houses know about your service. Now, you have a list of 200 random numbers of people you have no idea about. In this case, instead of trying to look more creative, your message should be crafted to the point. For instance, it should look like ¨Looking to sell your house? We help people sell their house above the market rate within 2 months.” 

How to write a great introduction message to warm leads

Warm leads are your potential customers whose information you’ve received through different targeted marketing activities, such as lead ads and contact forms. You know who your warm leads are and how they’ve come in contact with you. They’ve specifically expressed interest in your product or service, and have let you know what they want.  

Sending messages to warm leads is a totally different scenario than sending messages to random numbers. Therefore, your approach should be more personalised and friendly, especially when you’re messaging them for the first time. Don’t treat them like cold leads. Your first message shouldn’t be transactional and neither look promotional. 

This article will focus more on warm leads because most of your online activities will target warm leads. 

How to introduce your business on WhatsApp status 

In case you aren’t aware of it, WhatsApp status is also a great way to introduce your business on WhatsApp. So, before you create a perfect business introduction message, let’s have a general understanding of perfectly introducing your business through WhatsApp status.

Your leads may visit your profile after coming across your message, or promotional posts, to know more about your business. Also, including some industry-related keywords can make your profile visible in front of some customers searching for similar services within the platform. Therefore updating your status with the right elements can make a huge difference. But what’s the best way to do it? 

Well, the general rule of thumb is to make your WhatsApp status concise, engaging, and visually appealing. Here’s a suggested approach:

• Use a high-quality image or video: Use a good-quality image of your product, service, or business logo. If you don’t have a logo yet, a logo maker can help you create a professional design quickly. If you’re using a video, make sure it’s short and engaging. Remember, WhatsApp statuses last only for 24 hours and viewers often skim through quickly.
• Keep it concise: You only have a few seconds to capture someone’s attention on a status. Keep the introduction short and to the point.
• Engaging text: Start with a question or a compelling statement.
• Emojis: Use emojis to add some flair and emotion to your text.
• Include contact information: Mention “DM for inquiries” or “Contact us at [phone number].”
• Call to Action (CTA): Encourage users to take action, such as visiting your website, placing an order, or just checking out your product.

Things to consider while sending great intro messages on WhatsApp 

Intro messages play a crucial role in driving your conversations with clients in the right direction. That’s why they should be crafted in a way that people want to react to. It opens doors to future communications and ultimately increases your chances of improving sales. 

When you message your leads for the first time, oftentimes you don’t get a reply. While there are many reasons behind this, such as the customers having a busy schedule or being away (from their phones or for vacation), the greatest reason behind a message not getting a response is terrible writing. People often ignore badly timed and promotional-looking messages. So, how to make sure you don’t send a bad intro message? Here are a few things you want to consider while sending a business intro message to your leads or clients.   

Make it personal

Personalisation plays an excellent role in making the recipient feel that the message is purely intended for them. According to a recent study, a large number of customers prefer engaging with personalised messages over generic ones. 

If you’re collecting leads online, you should know that people submit their details on your forms because they are genuinely interested to know more about your business and the offer. 

However, being unable to approach your leads with a personalised message can confuse them. As a result, they’ll think your message is another generic promotional text. Adding a few personal elements, such as the client’s name and interest, can help make a message personalised. The more specific you are, the better your message will sound to the client as it focuses on addressing their requirements. 

Add a question (to get a response) 

The primary purpose of sending your first message isn’t just writing or introducing yourself, it’s to get a response. If your message doesn’t include something specific to respond to (e.g. a question), your leads will more likely wait for another message than reply. 

Giving your clients a reason to respond helps open up a conversation. It’s best if you craft a question that resonates with them so they are curious to know more about your offers. However, it’s equally important to make it as easy as possible to respond. For instance, people will more likely respond to a yes/no question than a short answer question. 

Mention the product/service your leads are interested in 

People are less likely to answer a message that doesn’t explain the purpose well. If you give them a bit more detail on your intro message than they previously saw online (on Facebook lead ads or landing pages), it’ll remind them what they were interested in. As a result, they’ll open a conversation if they haven’t moved on. 

For best practices, include phrases such as ‘Thanks for showing interest in our (X) product’. Also, list 3 to 5 points specific to the product to remind them of their interest.

FAQs

The post How to Write a Perfect Business Introduction Message for WhatsApp (with Templates) appeared first on Privyr Blog.

Meanwhile, a wedding planner probably attends conventions, trade fairs, and expos to meet prospective customers and connect with vendors to use in future ceremonies.

Even if these events don’t have large audiences, you’ll likely end the event with a stack of business cards or numbers in your phonebook. Then you’ll leave the event, ready to connect with those new contacts.

Sounds pretty straightforward, right?

Except in our experience, that’s where so many things start to go wrong.

We see three huge mistakes in particular that can prevent you from connecting with your new contacts – and getting the most out of opportunities that networking with them can offer you.

Here are the top three mistakes you may be making when networking – and how to fix them.

1. You lose your new contacts

For many of us, networking is an important – but very small piece – of the tasks we have to do at work every day. Our schedules are full, and our days get busy. It’s easy to see how on the way home or back to your office, you can drop a few of those business cards in the car.

Or, maybe you slip them into a pocket you don’t check for a few months.

This may not seem so bad, especially if the business cards are still with you or simply hidden within your belongings. But if you don’t reach out to the people whose contact information is on those cards, you never do anything with that connection.

It’s as if you never went to the networking event and met these people at all. That’s a lot of wasted time and effort you just spent at this event!

How to Fix It

To save time and effort, store contact details in your phone as soon as someone gives them to you. Their name and number is enough!

It’s easy to lose a business card – it’s much more difficult to lose contacts in your phone.

2. You’re waiting too long to reach out to your new contacts

Let’s say, after that long day of networking, you have to do other tasks. So, you put off contacting the people you just met. You say you’ll do it tomorrow.

Or the day after that.

Or many days after that.

The next thing you know, a week or two has passed since your event.

That time may not seem to be very long for you – after all, you have plenty to do inside and outside of work that keeps you busy. But even a few hours is enough time for someone else to land a sale or strike up a partnership that could have been yours. 

How to Fix It

Remember: waiting costs you sales and opportunities! Message your contacts on the spot while you’re still at the networking event. That way, you’ll be in their phones – and on their minds – as soon as possible.

This will help them remember you for opportunities now and in the future.

3. You reach out to your new contacts in the wrong way

Maybe you’re entering your new contacts into your phone as soon as you speak to them and messaging them right after, but no one is replying to you.

What’s going on? Haven’t you done everything you were supposed to do?

Remember that people you meet at networking events are often just as busy as you are. They may not be able to check their messages while they’re speaking with other people. They probably have things to do after the event too!

When your new networking contact checks their messages, a message like “Hi, this is [Your Name]” is easy to ignore. It doesn’t help them remember who you are or how you met. After all, your new contact has met a lot of people today! Some of those people may even share your name.

Think about your phone. You likely receive many calls and texts from unknown numbers all day long. You probably ignore them.

This can also be what’s happening to you if you’re reaching out with a generic message.

How to Fix It

Give your new contact a reason to want to get back to you. Use your first outreach text to tell them who you are and why they were speaking with you.

Make sure your message includes these three things:

1. Your name
2. The event where you met them
3. A short description of what you both talked about

Make sure to end that message on an open-ended note. This will encourage your new contact to reply or reach out when they have an opportunity for you.

How to speed up networking and initial outreach with just a few taps

Now you know how to fix the top three mistakes people make at networking events! But this doesn’t mean that you’ll need to spend more time on manual work. Here’s a way to simplify and speed up the outreach process.

Trying to make a great first impression with new contacts, maybe with food and drinks at the event, may seem difficult if you’re supposed to be messaging them on the spot.

That’s where Privyr can help!

​​Before your networking session, you can use the Privyr app to edit a single template message just for that event.

With Privyr’s Quick Add & Send Message feature, you simply need to put in your new contact’s name and number to send that template message through WhatsApp, iMessage, or SMS. The message can even be auto-personalised for your new contact, in just a few taps.

Here’s an example of how the Quick Add & Send Message feature works:

The next time you attend a networking event, you can quickly add and message new contacts on the spot with just a few taps on the Privyr app. That way, you don’t have to interrupt your conversations with other people.

Privyr will save your contacts, as well as a timeline of when you messaged them, so you don’t need to keep track of anything yourself.

With Privyr, it’s super quick and easy to add, message, and follow up with contacts who can help you achieve your goals now or later – whether that means landing your next sale or simply growing your career.

How to keep your conversation going, long after the networking event is over

Now that you know how to make a stellar first impression at your next networking session , you might be interested in tips on keeping that relationship warm after the event!

Make sure you’re using the 10-Second Rule of Messaging every time you reach out to your connections – whether that’s the first or the hundredth message.

This way, you can have conversations people want to reply to!
