20 WhatsApp message templates for sales (with examples)
Ready-made WhatsApp message models for each funnel stage: prospecting, qualifying, proposal, follow-up, and closing. Copy and adapt.
The biggest commercial productivity lever isn't the tool — it's not writing every message from scratch. These 20 templates cover 90% of real interactions. Copy, adapt to your niche, and save as a quick message in Zapext to fire in 1 click.
Prospecting (first contact)
- Referral: "Hey [name]! [person] passed your contact saying you're looking for [product/solution]. Can I help with some options?"
- Organic lead: "Hi! Saw you liked our latest content on [topic]. Can I send complementary material or do you have a specific question?"
- Paid lead: "Hi [name], this is [company] following up on your interest in [product]. Help you figure out if it makes sense for you?"
- Store visit: "Hey [name]! Great having you today. I'm holding [X] aside — any questions, I'm here."
Qualification
- "To point you the best way, can I ask 2 things? (1) What you're thinking about using it for and (2) timeline?"
- "Have you used a similar solution before? What worked and what didn't?"
- "Who else is in this decision? So I include them in next conversations."
- "Make sense to book a 15-min call this week? I can send 3 time slots."
Proposal
- "As discussed, I put together this summary. 2 min to read. If it makes sense, I'll explain each point."
- "Includes [X], [Y], and [Z] — what you prioritized in our talk. Investment is $[amount]."
- "I outlined two paths: A focuses on [benefit], B on [benefit]. Which interests you more?"
- "Can I send a 90-second video explaining? Easier than text."
Follow-up
- 3 days no reply: "Hey [name]! Just checking: did the proposal arrive ok? Any questions or tweaks, I'm here."
- 7 days no reply: "Hi! Know things get busy. Want me to help unblock something or prefer I follow up in a week?"
- 14 days no reply: "Won't keep pinging 😉. If it becomes relevant again, call me. Have a good month!"
Closing
- "Awesome! Sending the payment link now. Confirm when done?"
- "Got it! Confirmed. I'll let you know when [next step] is ready."
- "To finalize, I need [ID/tax info/data]. Can you send?"
Post-sale
- "How was the experience with [product]? Would love to hear so I can tweak for next time 🙏"
- "In 30 days we have a promo for house customers. I'll let you know when it drops, ok?"

In Zapext you save these 20 (or hundreds) as quick messages with shortcuts. Type /proposal and the template fires, ready, optionally with audio, image, or catalog.
Frequently asked questions
Can I copy and use these templates as-is?
Yes, but adapt the tone to your niche. Identical templates to your competitor's lose effect.
What's the average expected reply rate?
Depends on lead source. Referral: 60-80%. Paid traffic: 25-45%. Organic: 15-30%.
How many follow-ups can I do?
We recommend max 3 spaced attempts (3, 7, and 14 days). More than that becomes pestering.
