What is Telegram "Followers"?
Simply put, "acquiring fans" means that you find ways to get potential customers to add your Telegram account (or group, channel), and then you take the initiative to communicate with them, slowly understand their needs, explain your services, and facilitate transactions.
Unlike domestic platforms such as WeChat/QQ/DingTalk, Telegram is a more open, cross-border social tool. You can add strangers, send messages, and join groups for promotion, making it more suitable for overseas customer operations.
What are the steps in the process of receiving fans?
We can divide the entire Telegram fan acquisition process into 5 steps :
1) Add powder
2) Automatic/manual welcome guidance
3) Determine the customer type
4) Chat follow-up + tagging
5) Convert orders or direct traffic to business systems
Let’s talk about it one section at a time.
Step 1: Add fans - How to get customers to add your Telegram account?
Method 1: Advertise to attract traffic
Run ads on Facebook, Google, TikTok, and YouTube, and guide customers to click on the link to add the Telegram account or join the group.
Method 2: Create a group + channel distribution
Post on different platforms, post contact information, and guide users to add Telegram private chats or groups.
Method 3: Add fans button on landing page
Make a web page with product introduction and put a "Click to contact Telegram" button at the bottom. Customers can jump to the Telegram chat interface by clicking it.
Method 4: Old customers bring new customers
Provide coupons and referral reward mechanisms to encourage old customers to recommend Telegram to their friends.
✅No matter which method you use, your ultimate goal is to get customers to add your Telegram account (or join the group/channel) so that you have the opportunity to proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Welcome guidance - let customers know who you are
Just because a customer adds you and doesn’t say anything doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to buy, but rather he is waiting for you to take the initiative.
At this time, a professional welcome message is very important .
For example:
"Hi ��Welcome to contact [XX brand] customer service. Which product do you want to know about? We support cash on delivery and are online to serve you all day long~"
This welcome message can be sent manually by you, or you can use the Fbsee system to set it as an automatic welcome message . Once the customer adds your friend, the system will automatically send it, greatly saving manual operations.
If you serve foreign customers, you can also use the automatic translation function to automatically convert the welcome message into English, Japanese, Thai and other customer languages.
Step 3: Determine the customer type - who is worth talking to?
After the customer sends the first sentence, you can make the following judgments:
l Just say "Hi" or "Are you there?": Reply first to determine the intention
l Asking about price and delivery: indicating initial intention
l Asking for details and comparing products: medium to high-level potential customers
l Just saying "expensive" and no follow-up: Maybe just taking a look
At this time, you can use Fbsee's "Customer Tagging" function to mark him as:
l New Customer
l High Intention
l Price comparison
l Potential Users
l Invalid User
✅Later , you can send group messages in batches according to tags and follow up accurately without worrying about missing important customers.
Step 4: Follow up with a chat - don’t push too hard right away, build trust first
Many people who attract fans through Telegram tend to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. They ask "whether you want to buy or not" right away, and the customers withdraw immediately.
The correct chat sequence should be:
Ask about needs first → Guide understanding → Explain the solution → Provide options → Guide ordering
for example:
1. "What kind of products/services do you want to know about?"
2. "This product of ours supports global shipping and is currently on sale."
3. "Which country are you in? I can help you confirm the logistics and payment methods."
⚠️Never directly send links or urge orders. Telegram customers are relatively cautious, so you should use more "chatting" methods to build trust.
If you are using the Fbsee system, you can use the quick phrase + automatic translation function :
l Send common phrases with one click to increase reply speed
l The system automatically identifies the customer's language and translates it into Chinese or the customer's native language
l Better customer experience and more efficient customer service
Step 5: Conversion and Transaction - Don’t Let Customers Add You for Nothing
If the customer shows interest during the chat, you can guide them to place an order or fill in information:
l "If you confirm the purchase, I can register the delivery information for you."
l "Can you please provide your name, phone number and address? We will arrange for delivery."
l "You can also click this link to fill in the information, and we will arrange manual confirmation later."
If you are using an independent website, you can guide customers to jump to the order link.
If it is a virtual product, account registration, course registration, etc., you can also complete the registration directly on Telegram.
After your chat, don’t forget to:
l Mark customers as “dealt”
l Make notes between customer service staff
l You can join the repeat purchase list or old customer group
This is the complete closed-loop process from "acquiring fans" to "conversion".
