Advantages for those who are MEI

One of the first advantages of WhatsApp Business for MEI is that you can create a professional profile. Meaning, you can have an account that is exclusively for your business, which is separate from your personal account.

Thus, in this professional account it will be possible to put the company’s contact email, opening hours, website, if any, physical address and many other details that may be important to potential clients.

And with this, information is collected in one place, which makes life easier for the customer.

In addition, there is an option available in this version which is the default display. Soon, account holders will be able to create a kind of virtual catalog, which is a very useful function for those who work in sales.

It is possible to put pictures, prices and details of products in the description.

Another benefit is also the fact that the account can launch an analysis of statistical data related to the company’s performance. Thus, the account holder can get a better idea of ​​how he is doing his business.

It should be noted that the data that is taken into account are messages that have been delivered, sent, and others. For this reason, MEI can create a plan that can be beneficial to your business development.

custom labels

Another aspect that can come in handy is creating custom labels. Through them, it is possible to divide customers into categories.

By doing this, even before opening the message, the account owner may already know which category the customer belongs to. This can facilitate the development of a communication approach that makes a difference when it comes to customer service.

Finally, another resource is the quick message, which can actually be programmed and can help the customer with specific questions they may have.
