A car purchase is a long, considered journey, and the dealership relationship continues well beyond the sale into servicing and renewals. WhatsApp fits this journey by keeping conversations organised from the first test-drive enquiry through to timely service reminders.
Plan the customer journey before building the workflow
The aim is stronger conversion and repeat business: qualify enquiries quickly, keep buyers informed, and stay useful after delivery with well-timed service and renewal reminders.

Build a workflow the team can operate consistently
Document the trigger, owner, handoff and expected response for each stage. A workflow becomes dependable when the people serving customers can see the context and take the next action without improvising.

Measure quality as well as immediate activity
