An AI agent on WhatsApp picks it back up, answers, and closes the sale. Here is how it works. ## The customer quoted it, loved it, and never came back A couple walks into your furniture store on a Saturday, falls for a sectional sofa, asks for the financed price, and leaves to "think about it." Your salesperson sends the quote over WhatsApp on Monday. The customer sees it, doesn't reply. By Wednesday they're already looking at another store. That sale wasn't lost on price. It was lost because nobody followed up in time, with the right answer, on the channel where the customer actually replies. At Catalizadora we build an AI agent that lives inside your furniture store's WhatsApp and does exactly that follow-up: it picks the abandoned quote back up, answers the question that stalled the purchase, reminds the customer about the promo that's ending, and books the visit or closes the deal. All in your brand's voice, without your team chasing anyone. ## Where the money leaks in a furniture store Furniture is an expensive, deliberate purchase. That means two things: the customer almost never buys on the first interaction, and the ticket is high enough that recovering a single sale pays for months of operation. ### The three most common leaks - **The ghost quote.** You send the PDF or the message with the price and silence follows. Without follow-up, that quote dies in three days. - **The half-finished cart.** On your online store the customer added the dining set to the cart, reached the shipping step, and dropped off. Nobody notices until it's too late. - **The unanswered question.** "Do you have it in gray?", "how much over 12 months?", "when do you deliver to my area?". If that question lands on a Sunday at 9 p.m., it goes unanswered and the purchase cools off. The agent closes all three. It doesn't replace your star salesperson: it takes the repetitive work off their plate and makes sure no conversation ever goes cold. ## How the agent recovers a quote It works like your best salesperson, but with no schedule and no forgetting. 1. **It detects the silence.** If a quote goes 24 or 48 hours without a reply, the agent reopens the conversation on WhatsApp with a natural message, not a robotic reminder. 2. **It answers with real data.** It knows your catalog, your prices, your financing terms, and your delivery times. It answers the stalling question on the spot. 3. **It qualifies the customer.** It tells apart who's serious from who's just browsing, and prioritizes the ones ready to close. 4. **It closes the next step.** It books the showroom visit, sends the payment link, or coordinates delivery. No friction. 5. **Everything lands in the CRM.** Every conversation, every recovered quote, and every close gets logged, so you see what happened and why. ## Numbers: what changes when you stop losing quotes We don't invent client metrics. But the math of a furniture store is simple and you can run it yourself. Assume an average mid-to-high furniture ticket. If you recover **two sales a month** that would otherwise have cooled off, for most furniture stores that already comfortably beats the cost of running the agent. Because that's the other key point: our operation is **pass-through, roughly $200 to $400 USD a month** for hosting and tokens, with no margin on top. It's not an inflated per-seat subscription or a monthly retainer. You pay for the infrastructure, nothing else. Compare it to the alternative: hiring someone part-time just to follow up on quotes costs several times that, works office hours only, and takes vacation. The agent doesn't. ## What we deliver and who owns it This isn't renting a generic chatbot. With **MAGIA Solo**, our entry package, we build your agent, your site, and your full system in **15 days for $4,500 USD**. And the part that matters most: **the code, the data, and the infrastructure are 100% yours.** No retainers, no locked licenses, no being held hostage by the agency. If tomorrow you want to take it with you, you take the whole thing. We follow the MAGIA methodology: **M**apping your sales process, **A**rchitecting the agent and CRM, **G**enerating the system, **I**mplementing it on your WhatsApp and catalog, and **A**utonomy so it runs on its own. For furniture stores with more volume or several locations, **MAGIA Core ($15,000)** and **Forge ($20,000, 12 weeks)** take the same thing to a larger operation. ## Why WhatsApp and not email or a phone call Quote follow-up almost always fails because of the wrong channel. Email gets buried under promotions and nobody opens it. A phone call feels intrusive and half the people won't pick up an unknown number. But a WhatsApp message gets read, usually within minutes, and the customer replies as naturally as they'd text a friend. That's why the agent lives there, on the channel where the furniture customer is already comfortable. We don't ask them to switch apps, fill out a form, or log into a portal. We pick the conversation back up exactly where it left off: "Hi, your sectional sofa quote was still open, did the financing question get cleared up?". That single line, sent at the right time, recovers sales that would otherwise have slipped away in silence. And because every interaction is logged, over time you understand your customer better: which products raise the most questions, where people drop off, which objection stalls the most closes. That insight is yours too, and it helps you sell better even outside the agent. ## The next step If every month you watch quotes cool off and carts sit half-finished, that money is on the table. An AI agent on WhatsApp recovers it while your team focuses on selling on the floor. Message our AI agent on WhatsApp to see it working with a case from your furniture store, or book a direct call with Pablo at https://cal.com/pablo-estrada-hlqaql and we'll review it together. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How long until the agent is up and running for my furniture store?
