TECH TIP TOPIC: Using WhatsApp Business Professionally
➡️ WhatsApp Business is more than just chatting — it's a powerful tool for building trust, increasing sales, and managing customers professionally.
Here's how to use it the right way:

- High-quality logo
- Business category
- Physical address (if applicable)
- Business hours
- Website link

"Hi! Welcome to [Your Business]. We're glad you reached out! How can we help you today?"
Away Message Example:
"Thanks for your message! We're currently unavailable but will get back to you within 2 hours. For urgent matters, call us at [number]."
