She clicks “Chat on WhatsApp” and asks, “What fabric options do you have?” A good bot answers immediately, sends the fabric catalog, and offers a paid video consultation. A bad bot says, “Thanks, we will get back to you.” She never replies again. High-ticket D2C products do not sell like impulse buys. They need trust, guidance, and a clear path to purchase. ## The five-part bot flow Greet with context. Ask one qualification question. Send proof through catalog or reviews. Offer the next step: paid consultation, sample order, or checkout link. Capture commitment by collecting a deposit or scheduling. ## Setup checklist Connect the bot to your product catalog. Create templates for the top ten customer questions. Build a consultation booking flow. Add payment collection for deposits or full payment. Train the bot to push toward an order, not just answer questions. ## Common mistake: the passive bot Most bots answer questions endlessly without moving the sale forward. A sales-ready bot asks questions, narrows options, and offers a concrete next step every three to five messages. ## The success metric Measure consultations booked, deposits collected, and orders closed from WhatsApp. Those are the only numbers that matter. ## The action Pick one high-ticket product. Write the conversation path from first message to order. Build the bot around that path.
