WhatsApp structure
A clear WhatsApp structure for managing enquiries, quotes and follow-up.
WhatsApp Quote & Follow-Up Setup
Quotes should not disappear into silence.
A quote gets sent on WhatsApp, the conversation goes silent, and what happens next depends on whether you remember to follow up. Deposits get missed. Payment reminders get forgotten or feel awkward to send. Work that should have closed quietly slips away.
From R2 950
Final scope, timeline and payment terms are confirmed after your business review.
What gets built
Quote tracking
A simple way to track who you are waiting to hear back from.
Business-fit messages
Quote, site-visit and follow-up messages that sound like your business.
Deposit and payment wording
Deposit request, booking-confirmation and payment follow-up wording.
Completion and review
Job-complete and review-request messages.
Team handover
A practical handover guide your team can use.
Who this is for
Businesses that quote regularly over WhatsApp and lose track of where things stand - not because the work isn't good, but because follow-up isn't systemised.
What this does not include
- Online payment gateway setup or integration
- Accounting or invoicing software
- Chasing or collecting on outstanding client debts
- CRM or software installation

What to expect
We review how quotes currently move through your business - from first message to final payment - and confirm exactly where the gaps are before building the setup around them.
Your Review request and current quote process are assessed before scope and deposit are confirmed.
The WhatsApp, quote and follow-up assets are created from your real service details and approval.
You receive the working setup and practical notes so the owner or admin person can run it.
