You already tried a chatbot. It said hello. It sent the brochure. It could not book Tuesday 4pm. It forgot they called in the morning.

That is a bot. PROXe is not that.

A WhatsApp chatbot lives on one number. It answers from a tree or a prompt. When they switch to Instagram or the site, the bot has no idea who they are. When they go silent, it stops. When they ask for a price you have not set, it invents one or dies.

PROXe runs the customer side. WhatsApp, Instagram, the website, the call. Same person. Same thread in its head. It asks the qualifying questions, offers two slots, books the calendar, and keeps writing until they decide.

It does not invent a quote. It does not replace your counsellor. It does the 9pm reply so the counsellor walks into a booked slot, not a cold list.

What it is not

It is not a menu. It is not an away message. It is not a broadcast tool. It is not a CRM with a chatbot bolted on.

What it actually does

Answers in seconds. Qualifies in the thread. Books the slot. Follows up until yes or no. Remembers every channel as one person. Live in 48 hours.

Who this is for

Businesses that already get inbound on WhatsApp and still lose the lead. The bot said thanks. Nobody booked.

How PROXe does this for clinics, coaching, real estate, wellness, professional services, home services.

Talk to PROXe at goproxe.com. What PROXe is. Your CRM will not answer that WhatsApp. After-hours WhatsApp is how you lose the lead.

Questions people ask

Is it a WhatsApp Business API tool?

API is the pipe. PROXe is the person on the other end of the pipe.

Will it dump templates?

No. It talks in the thread. Follow-up is until yes or no, not a blast.

Does it invent a price?

No. It books the call or the visit and hands you the thread.

How long to go live?

48 hours.

A chatbot parks. This finishes. Talk to PROXe on the site.
