Turn your contacts into connections, and connections into visibility. The ultimate WhatsApp Strategy for Doctors  

Step 1: Clean & Organize Your Contacts 

Go through your phone and label contacts: Doctors / Colleagues Patients (past & present) Family & Friends Medical fraternity, teachers, alumni groups Create relevant label using WhatsApp Business for targeted outreach. 

💡 Use Google Contacts or Truecaller to update names and tags. 

Step 2: Create a Broadcast List (Most Effective Method) 

Use WhatsApp Broadcasts to send a single message to 256 people individually, not as a group. They receive it in their personal inbox — no noise, no spam feel. 

Steps: 

• Open WhatsApp > Tap More Options (⋮) > New Broadcast 

• Select contacts (must have your number saved) 

• Paste the announcement message + LinQMD link 

• Add a visual banner, video, or QR code image for impact 

Step 3: Craft a Short, Personal Launch Message 

Here’s a sample message you can tweak: 

Hello! I’ve just launched my official LinQMD profile — a verified, secure space where you can check my credentials, book appointments, and read about my work. Feel free to share! 
[Link to your LinQMD page] 

Book appointments directly online! 
Read articles and health tips here. [Link to your blogs]

Step 4: Use WhatsApp Status Strategically 

Think of it like your personal billboard. The reach is huge and consistent. 

Post Ideas: 

• Your LinQMD page link (daily for the first 7 days) 

• Image of your QR code with caption: “Scan to connect” 

• Video message: “Excited to share my LinQMD profile — check it out” 

• Health tip of the week linked to your blog or FAQ 

📊 Each view = engagement = better brand recall Step 5: Reshare Weekly for 1 Month Repetition = Recall 

Set a reminder to: 

• Rebroadcast the link weekly with a new message angle. 

• Change the thumbnail/image for freshness. 

• Highlight a new blog or FAQ every 10–15 days. 

Step 6: Use WhatsApp Groups Smartly 

Don’t spam. Use these curated messages: 

• “For those asking about appointments — you can now book via my official LinQMD page” 

• “If you want to know more about the surgeries I do, check this article I’ve posted here” 

• “I’ve started answering common patient questions weekly — here’s my latest FAQ” 

Share only 1 or 2 times per group. Make it relevant and spaced.  

Step 7: Train Your Clinic Staff to Use WhatsApp 

Ask staff to send the link directly when patients call Share QR code or page via WhatsApp chat post-visit Save patient numbers in your broadcast lists (with consent) 

Step 8: Track Responses 

If you use WhatsApp Business, you can: 

• See which messages get most views 

• Use Quick Replies to automate FAQs 

• Link directly to your LinQMD appointment page or content.
