# Using WhatsApp for lead qualification

A WhatsApp lead flow works best when the conversation begins with useful context instead of an empty “Hi, I’m interested” message.

## Collect context before opening the chat

The qualification form can ask the questions the business would otherwise need to ask manually. The completed answers can then be assembled into a prepared WhatsApp enquiry.

## Why the direct handoff matters

When the prospect sends the prepared message from their own WhatsApp account, the business receives the enquiry inside a direct two-way conversation and can respond using text, calls, voice notes and files supported by WhatsApp.

## The 98% open-rate point

Inquiry Form highlights a 98% WhatsApp open-rate benchmark as part of the reason businesses value WhatsApp as a follow-up channel. The practical product benefit is the combination of structured qualification before the handoff and a direct conversation after it.

## Use qualification without unnecessary friction

The best flow depends on the industry. Questions should be relevant enough to improve the conversation while remaining concise enough for a genuinely interested prospect to complete.
