When many cross-border practitioners are engaged in acquiring customers through WhatsApp, they put all their energy into optimizing their follower-building techniques, but they still face the dilemma of a pass rate of less than 5%, and even frequent account restrictions. In fact, the core password for adding friends on WhatsApp has never been "how good your conversational skills are", but rather the pre-test before adding followers. Blindly adding privacy settings, low activity, and high-risk accounts. No matter how good your conversational skills are, you will not be able to effectively add followers. Instead, it will increase the risk control level of the account.

1. Core premise: Lock the “addable” WhatsApp account

The prerequisite for adding followers is to find an account that can be added, which is also the core part of pre-testing. There are a large number of accounts in WhatsApp that have privacy protection settings turned on and refuse strangers to add friends. Even if such accounts repeatedly send follower requests, the results will only fail. More importantly, frequently sending requests to the privacy setting account will be judged as abnormal marketing behavior by the platform, which can range from restricting the follower function to directly banning the account. Using professional tools to detect the addability status of accounts and filter out accounts that are allowed to be added by strangers can directly solve 90% of the problems of failure to add followers.

2. Data filtering: Eliminate invalid WhatsApp accounts

Eliminating basic invalid accounts is a basic requirement for pre-testing. Among the mobile phone numbers obtained from various channels, there are a large number of unregistered WhatsApp, empty numbers, virtual numbers, and number-receiving platform numbers. Such accounts themselves do not have the function of using WhatsApp. Sending follower requests to them will only increase invalid operations and reduce the efficiency of adding followers to the account. In the pre-test, the account validity test needs to be completed, and the normal account registered with the physical card is given priority. The pass rate of adding fans to such accounts is more than 25% higher than that of virtual accounts and code-connected numbers.

3. Efficiency improvement: Accurately match WhatsApp active users and time periods

Adding followers with a high pass rate has always been about "finding the right person at the right time", and pre-screening for activity is the key to finding the "right person". Active users who have logged in and interacted in the past 15 days, whose accounts are in normal use, are much more receptive to requests to add followers than silent accounts that have been idle for a long time. At the same time, follower actions are arranged based on the active periods of users in different regions. For example, Southeast Asian users are most active between 20-22 o'clock in the evening, and European and American users are more receptive to messages between 10 and 12 o'clock in the morning. By adding followers during active periods, the pass rate can be increased by another 30%.

4. Bottom line of security: Avoid WhatsApp account risk control risks

Account risk control is the bottom line that cannot be ignored in the process of adding followers. The risk level detection in the pre-test can avoid the risk of account ban from the root cause. If your account frequently contacts accounts with high risk of complaints and abnormal behavior, it will be included in the list of abnormal marketing accounts by WhatsApp, and subsequent followers and group postings will be strictly restricted. Therefore, before adding followers, you need to detect the risk level of the target account, eliminate high-risk accounts, and pay attention to the weight status of your own account to avoid adding followers in large batches when the weight is low. Light operations in time and batches can better ensure account security.

A cross-border beauty brand passed a complete pre-testing system and increased the pass rate of adding friends from 3% to 92%, without any account bans during the entire process. This result proves that the core of adding followers on WhatsApp is "accuracy" rather than "quantity". High-quality words are just the icing on the cake. Doing pre-test and making adding followers based on accuracy and safety is the fundamental way to achieve a high pass rate.

It is a common choice for all professional teams to complete rational screening before actually reaching users.
