Building A WhatsApp Welcome Series That Turns Cold Traffic Into Warm Leads

When someone first joins your WhatsApp list, they may know very little about who you are and how you can help. A welcome series is your chance to make a strong first impression and show value before asking for anything.

Message 1: Immediate Welcome And Expectations

Right after opt in, send a message that:

Thanks them for joining
Explains what type of content they will receive
Mentions how often you will message them
Shares one quick win or useful resource

Message 2: Your Origin And Value Story

A day or two later, send a short story about why your business exists and what problems you are focused on solving. Keep it simple and relatable, and tie it back to the benefits that matter to the reader.

Share the human story behind your brand to build trust early in the relationship.

Message 3: Deep Dive Value Piece

Next, deliver something with real depth, such as:

A mini guide
A checklist
A short video demo

This should be highly relevant to the main problem of your audience.

Message 4: Social Proof

Show how others have used your solution and what results they have seen. Share a short case or a couple of quotes, and connect them back to specific outcomes such as time saved or revenue gained.

Message 5: Soft Call To Action

Invite them to reply with a keyword if they want:

A personalized recommendation
A demo slot
A quick audit or review

Message 6: Stronger Call To Action For Engaged Contacts

For people who clicked or replied during the earlier messages, send a more direct call to action. Make it easy to take the next step with clear links or buttons.

Automation Makes It Consistent

With a platform like Adsvent, you can turn this welcome series into a flow that runs automatically for every new contact, leaving your team free to focus on the conversations that need a human touch.
