presales@woztell.com - Catalogue
WABA does not have a catalogue function.
We recommend, and is very successful with all our customers who have product sales, is to create templates with catalog information in order to easily send product information with images, or pdf. This way, sellers will have a set of predefined answers, with all the information needed to meet the demand of any customer in a very simple way.
Generating automations that send these templates with the catalogues, is an option to save the time of your sales team and generate more sales.
The WABA does not have the status function.
If you want to update your company's information to customers, you can create workflow automations for sending push messages based on customer behavior or through campaigns.
