WhatsApp message to ask for a meeting

Agencies, guides, hotels reaching out to local exhibitors.

WhatsApp works well in the MENA region and Spain for direct, fast contact — but only with the right tone. Keep it short, professional, and add value before asking.

Practical steps

  1. 1Only use WhatsApp if the contact has explicitly shared their number (LinkedIn, business card, public listing).
  2. 2Always introduce yourself in the first message — never start with 'Hi' alone.
  3. 3Propose a specific slot, not 'when are you free?'.
  4. 4Add a single document or link if relevant.

Checklist

  • Number is publicly shared
  • Introduction includes name + company + reason
  • One specific slot proposed
  • No mass send
