You sent 400 WhatsApps at 9. That is a campaign. The person who wrote at 9:12 still has no answer.

A broadcast is one message to many. A reply is one thread, one person, until they book or they say no.

Marketing fills the pipe. The desk works the pipe.

Two different jobs

A blast is outbound. Offer, reminder, promo. The ad is not the desk

A reply is inbound. They wrote. You ask. You offer two times. Qualify before you book. Who answers the customer

If you count sends and skip the new chats, you ran a campaign and missed the lead.

What people run instead

A morning broadcast, then a closed laptop.

Status labels on the blast. Unread inbound sitting under it.

A catalogue dump to the list, and no slot in any thread. Do not invent the price

Treating a delivery tick as a conversation.

How you know it was a reply

You can point at their thread. Two questions. Two times. Or a no.

If the last thing they got is the same line 400 other people got, they did not get a desk.

Who this is for

Clinics, coaches, home services, anyone whose WhatsApp is a blast tool with a silent inbox under it.

If your sends are high and your bookings are not, this page is the map.

Then PROXe

PROXe is the desk on inbound.

It answers, qualifies, books and follows up on every lead across every channel, so you never miss a lead ever again. WhatsApp, IG, site, call. The blast is not the job. The new chat is. It does not invent a fee. It does not replace the clinic. It does not send the campaign for you.

Questions people ask

Can I still send a broadcast?

Yes. That is marketing. Then open the new chats.

Does a delivery tick count as a reply?

No. A reply is in their thread.

Does PROXe send blasts?

No. It runs the inbound desk.

Does it invent a price?

No. It books the consult and hands you the thread.

How long to go live?

48 hours.

Follow-up is a system

The first reply is not the job. Most teams treat it like it is.

Who answers the customer

Most teams can show you the lead. Fewer can say who is supposed to talk to them.
