Groupchats: Boom or Bane?

Some people read my previous article about how groupchats can increase sales easily for a watch shop and asked me this question: Since groupchats are so powerful, why are people not using them for business?

The reason is very simple: it is very easy to form groupchats, but maintaining groupchats is one of the hardest things in the world.  You need many months of patience and perseverance if you want to make groupchats your profit centre.

Before that, let's look at a more basic topic: how people use groupchats wrongly and passively.  There are 12 things that people do wrongly on groupchats, see if you make any of them (or all of them):
  1. Send good morning photos and greetings EVERY DAY
  2. Send too much information, making scrolling difficult
  3. Group names not unique, making retrieval difficult
  4. As the group admin, you did not set the groupchat rules.  Even if rules are set, do you enforce the rules and dare to delete people that break the rules?
  5. Allow members to send birthday greetings when the group has more than 20 members
  6. Cannot tell the difference between groupchat contacts and groupchat fans, thus cannot have targeted marketing
  7. You did not position yourself in the groupchat.  You are too 'me-too' with just a name and vocation
  8. Spead fake news and news from authorities, which are sometimes fake too
  9. Chats about politics, sex and religion
  10. Group admin has no control over the group.  In the case of Whatsapp groups, too many group admins
  11. Reveal too much personal information in the groupchats, thus making people wary of sharing in groupchats
  12. Allow the wrong type of people to join your groupchats.  Sometimes group admins are not aware that people have sneaked into your group and took away your contacts and information
If you too want to make groupchats your profit centre, you need to start to learn how to form and maintain good groupchats.  We shall discuss this in our next articles.  Thanks for reading.  By Andy Ng, WeChat Trainer. Related articles (click on title to read):

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
