Customer Feedback on WhatsApp: Why It's Essential

Why collect feedback on WhatsApp?

• Data-driven decisions: Your customers explain precisely what works and what doesn't (pricing, timing, service, quality).
• Loyalty and referrals: Responding to WhatsApp feedback shows you're listening. Satisfied customers return and recommend you.
• Quick issue detection: Delays, order errors or recurring problems are identified before they damage your reputation.

Categorize to act fast

1. Suggestions: Ideas for improvement or new features.
2. Compliments: What customers love and you should keep doing.
3. Complaints: Hot topics requiring immediate attention (support, billing, delays).
4. Technical issues: Bugs, access difficulties, compatibility problems.
5. Service & staff: Quality of reception and follow-up in store, clinic or online.
