Chat funnel

A chat funnel is a sequence of automated messages in a messenger that guides a person from first contact to a purchase or booking.

A chat funnel is a step-by-step conversation in a messenger or DMs, built from automated messages, buttons, questions and conditions. It greets a new contact, gives something useful, qualifies the person, makes an offer and follows up if they go quiet. Unlike a landing page, it happens where people already chat: Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs.

For a small business, a chat funnel works around the clock and handles the repetitive part of sales. The owner steps in only for warm leads who are ready to talk. Messages in messengers are also more likely to be seen than emails.

Example: an online English school: a person subscribes to the Telegram channel and gets a free vocabulary guide, then a short level quiz, then an offer of a trial lesson with three time options. People who do not answer get a gentle reminder two days later.
