Every year fromBlack Five PromotionIn the Christmas golden season, the WhatsApp of cross-border sellers will usher in a surge in orders, an outbreak of consultation, and a peak in after-sales. Users poured in from all over the world, and multi-language, multi-time, and multi-type problems appeared at the same time.

For most overseas teams, the pain points of this type of node are very consistent：The news can't be returned, the customer can't wait, the intention form is missed, and the efficiency is getting lower and lower.

Therefore, a question has become particularly critical: during the Christmas peak season, how to use the same team and cost to handle the exponential growth of WhatsApp inquiries?

The answer isUse WhatsApp Intelligent customer service system, Use AI to deal with high concurrency consultations.

Below, we will fully analyze how cross-border sellers can use AI to withstand the peak of peak season traffic from pain points, solutions to specific products, and ensure “continuous lines, no missed customers, and no caton”, making WhatsApp an accelerator for GMV in the peak season, rather than a source of pressure in the background.

1. Why is WhatsApp easy to “explode” during the Christmas season? ——Three pain points of cross-border teams

WhatsApp during the Christmas season is like a highway: the traffic doubles, the time period is unstable, the types of problems are complex, and every user wants to get a reply immediately.

Cross-border teams generally encounter three core pain points：

Pain point 1: High concurrency leads to a ”serious decrease in recovery speed"

The processing power of manual customer service is limited: a customer service can effectively process an average of 30-50 conversations per hour, and WhatsApp during the Christmas season tends to soar to 2-5 times this number. When news accumulates, the problems that follow are delayed responses, soaring user churn rates, and a significant increase in bad reviews and complaints.

In cross-border business，Speed is the turnover rate。 If you reply 30 seconds late, it may be another competitor's order.

Pain point 2: The operation of multiple accounts is chaotic, and the leakage of news is extremely serious.

Many teams will meet during the peak seasonMultiple WhatsApp accounts, Multiple people receive at the same time, manually assign customers, and record consultation content to improve carrying capacity, but the reality is often prone to problems.：

• The message was repeatedly replied by different customer services
• High intent is only treated as ordinary consultation
• Pre-sales/after-sales are mixed together, and the information is in a mess.

The more people contact WhatsApp, the easier it is to mess up; the busier it is, the easier it is to leak.

Pain point 3: Multi-language, multi-time, and multi-country needs cannot be covered by labor at all

The peak season means that customers and inquiries come fromDifferent languages, Different time zones have different cultures and needs.

This requires that human customer service not only needs to be able to answer, but also to explain, coordinate, and judge intentions. When hundreds of thousands of users flooded in during the Christmas season, it was too late for labor to be “fast and accurate.”

2. The key to breaking the situation during the peak season: use professional tools to build a high-carrying WhatsApp customer service system

In the face of the above problems that are magnified exponentially during the peak season, it is difficult to truly stabilize the rhythm by manual labor alone. Whether it is to improve the response speed, unify multiple accounts, or deal with high concurrency in multiple languages, relying on people to fill in the loopholes is ultimately inefficient.

If you want to not be overwhelmed by traffic during the Christmas season, what cross-border teams need is not to recruit a few more people and open a few more accounts, but to establish an “underlying system” that can stabilize the full link. This is why more and more sellers are beginning to use professional third-party WhatsApp customer service systems: they can re-integrate the chaotic flow of information, allowing the team to shift from “passive fire fighting” to “systematic carrying”, and truly support the peak of the peak season.
