Lead Generation on WhatsApp using AI

Since the last 3 years, I have been identifying and forming new connections on WhatsApp on a daily basis using this 5 step process -

  • Set aside strictly 1 hour from the schedule for this activity.
  • Scan all WhatsApp groups I am a part of, to find the daily member posts.
  • Look at posts relevant to founders, investors, marketers and business leaders.
  • Messaging the post author personally with my reply and an appreciation for quality posts.
  • Exchanging LinkedIn profile URLs, setting up a call to know each other, and sharing my learnings and experiences as value nuggets.

I thus was successful in forming long lasting connections, with more than 100 people whom I haven’t met till now.

But this process was too manual.

That’s why I decided to automate this process using Whatlist.

Now, the 1 hour process highlighted above takes just 10 minutes.

  • Sit early in the morning or late at night for 10 minutes.
  • Open WhatsApp group on Whatlist.
  • Ask AI about the active post on keywords relevant to “Founders, Investors, Marketers, Business Leaders”.
  • Next, ask AI to show 3 recommendations on what message to send as a personal reply.
  • Schedule a message to active group members on the next day in morning time.
  • Next day open your WhatsApp and chat further.

Now, you don’t need to scan groups manually and think about what to send as a reply to build connections!

Note — We have launched a WhatsApp Announcement Group, where we share Whatsapp Tips, Tactics, Automations, other Whatlist features, checklist, guides and How-To’s regularly
