How to connect social media messages to sales
Turn DM and messaging inquiries into a tracked response, quote and follow-up process.

Treat an inquiry as a record
If a product question is answered and then forgotten, the inquiry was not managed. Record the need, product, channel and next step with appropriate permission. Avoid collecting unnecessary personal data.
Set a response standard
Templates help speed, but outdated stock, price or delivery information erodes trust. Define when a complex question moves to a specialist.
- An owner for first response
- A relevant quote or product link
- Alerts for unanswered inquiries
- A record of whether it became a sale
Follow up with permission
Do not ask the same question repeatedly. Set a clear follow-up time where appropriate and respect contact preferences. Review response time and qualified inquiry rate each week.
