In global B2B sales,email is no longer the only channel.
For buyers in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia,WhatsApp is the preferred business tool.
But many exporters still treat it like email—leading to silence, confusion, or worse, blocks.
WithSaleAI’s Outreach Planner Agent, WhatsApp-based communication becomes structured, intentional, and results-driven.
What works: Short, structured messages with timing logic
SaleAI recommends WhatsApp when:
-
Buyers are in mobile-first markets (e.g., Brazil, India, Nigeria)
-
The contact has active sourcing behavior but no email response
-
The buyer role aligns with informal outreach (SMB owners, distributors)
💡 SaleAI automatically adjusts:
-
Message length: 100–200 words max
-
Format: bullet points + product value + CTA
-
Language tone: casual but direct
-
Timing: 2–3 days after cold email if no reply
This builds a natural follow-up path across channels—without being pushy.
What doesn’t work: Email-style blocks, PDFs, or hard-sell messages
Common mistakes in WhatsApp-based outreach:
-
Pasting long paragraphs or marketing fluff
-
Sending attachments on first contact (especially PDFs)
-
Using templates designed for email
-
Ignoring time zone and buyer activity rhythm
SaleAI’s Outreach Planner detects these risks and flags mismatched sequences for adjustment.
