Hi,
Here are two more Practice Messages. One of the Practice Messages is a WhatsApp contact.
Like Facebook Contacts, these contacts also do not have a subject line, and they have a very
short time to respond. From the time the WhatsApp contact submits their information,
WhatsApp will not send your reply to the Contact after 24 hours. If you write after that time, it
will not be received. The 24-hour clock is reset when the contact writes back. It is a good idea to
send a follow up reply just a few hours after the first one. It lets the contact know a real person
is responding.
For this reason, please write a short sentence or two as a Second Touch follow up message to
the WhatsApp contact letting them know you care.
Please hit reply and send me your responses in 2-3 days. Let me know if you have any
questions.
Reminders:
- Did you address their comment or question?
- Did you include the Bible link and Godlife link? Hint: you can add them to your signature.
- Are they in a Sensitive Country? (subject line for email Contacts). I recommend keeping all
subject lines free of Christian terms just to be safe.
- Did you include an open-ended question and encourage them to write back?
- Is your tone friendly and the content of your reply easy to understand?
- Is there room for an appropriate scripture or short prayer? (optional)
- Is the length of your response reasonable?
- Should this contact be reassigned?
