In this episode, Steve explains why you should use a WhatsApp Business Account, what you need to know, and what mistakes to avoid when you get started.
Many people use personal WhatsApp accounts and miss out on the advantages of WhatsApp Business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
💡 Using your personal WhatsApp account for business can get confusing and messy and appear unprofessional.
💡 To avoid sharing your personal phone number, create a new virtual number to set up your WhatsApp Business. This virtual number will not be tied up to a specific device.
💡 WhatsApp Business can be plugged into other apps such as Facebook, LinkedIn or websites, and you can then receive messages from these platforms.
💡 Keeping a separate WhatsApp Business allows you to delegate business communications without granting access to any personal WhatsApp files or information.
