Staff in Guangzhou and Shenzhen or anywhere else answer from one +86 business number, with office hours on Beijing time (CST).

- Membership prices
- Class times and trial sessions
- Personal training
- Renewals and freezes

## Sound familiar? What gyms & fitness teams in China tell us

> We get dozens of price questions from our Instagram ads and answer them days later.

Ad leads arrive flagged hot with the ad’s name, and auto-assign shares them out to the team.

> People come for a free session and we never follow up.

Track every lead from enquiry to trial to joined, so nobody falls through after the visit.

## EliteTeQ Inbox in China

EliteTeQ Inbox works for gyms, fitness studios, yoga and martial-arts schools in China on your existing +86 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Guangzhou and Shenzhen or anywhere else.

WhatsApp isn’t used for domestic business in mainland China, where customers use WeChat. EliteTeQ Inbox is for Chinese exporters and trading companies whose overseas buyers in Africa and the Middle East message them on WhatsApp, so the whole sales team can follow every buyer.

Overseas buyers write in English, French, Arabic, Swahili and more. Your sales team replies in the buyer’s language; template messages can be created in English, French or Swahili.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Shenzhen or Guangzhou: weekdays open, Saturday mornings open, Sunday closed. Anyone who writes while you are closed gets your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and the chat waits at the top of the list for the morning.

- **Numbers:** +86 (e.g. +86 138 0000 0000)
- **Office hours:** Run on Beijing time (CST)
- **Weekend:** Saturday and Sunday
- **Templates:** English
- **Price:** From $29 a month, in US dollars
- **Paying:** Card, charged in Kenyan shillings at the day’s rate
