How Experts Are Using WhatsApp to Grow Authentically - Without Spamming Everyone

ABOUT THIS SESSION...

Most experts don’t struggle with visibility.
They struggle with follow-up.

In a world of ignored emails and overcomplicated funnels, more noise isn’t the answer. Better conversations are.

In this session, Paul Green will share how expert founders are using WhatsApp to:

  • Grow their audience in a way that feels personal, not pushy
  • Create a better client experience from the first interaction to the sale
    Increase conversions without awkward chasing or spammy tactics

You’ll see how simple, conversation-led systems can:

  • Raise your perceived value
  • Deepen trust at scale
  • Turn attention into genuine connection

No scripts.
No hype.

Just practical ways to grow — without losing your voice in the process.

ABOUT PAUL GREEN...

Paul Green is the founder of Client Funnels and creator of the Sales & Marketing Flight Plan®.

A former commercial airline pilot turned sales and marketing strategist, Paul helps expert founders grow using high-trust WhatsApp systems that blend automation with real human connection.

His approach is simple:
Conversations first.
Automation second.

Plan Your Next Sell-Out Launch In under 40 Minutes

ABOUT THIS SESSION...

You already know launches work. You've seen it. You've felt the buzz when the sales start rolling in, but the planning? That's where it all turns into a sweaty, overwhelming mess of tabs, timelines and "where do I even start?"

Reality is, it doesn't have to take weeks of back-and-forth, colour-coded spreadsheets and three existential crises to pull off a sell-out launch.

In this session, I'm walking you through the exact framework we use to map out a complete launch plan in under 40 minutes (the kind that gets your audience grinding down their fingernails refereshing their screen and whipping out their card before you've even hit send on the second email.)

You'll walk away with a clear, actionable plan ready to go, and zero excuses not to make your next launch your biggest one yet.

ABOUT JOHN MCKIE...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Is everything recorded?

All the keynotes and Q&As with Andrew and Pete are recorded, and will be included in your ATOMICON ticket. 

All networking events are designed to be attended live, but there are plenty on for you to attend during the week, so you don't have to go to everything.

Can I attend ATOMICON Virtually?

Yes! You can purchase a virtual ticket to ATOMICON if you want to join in with Big Networking Week but can't travel to Newcastle for ATOMICON.

We go all out on the virtual experience for ATOMICON attendees too.

Do I need to be tech savvy to attend?

Everything will be run via Zoom - if you can use Zoom, you can attend Big Networking Week. 

I don't have an ATOMICON ticket, can I come?

Sorry no, Big Networking Week has been organised only for ATOMICON attendees. 

You need an in-person OR virtual ticket to ATOMICON to partake. 

Will speakers be pitching from the virtual stages?

No, like ATOMICON, this event is 100% pitch free. It makes money via ticket sales, meaning the attendee experience is always our top priority.

Why is this question here?

Honestly ... because on a desktop, we needed the amount of questions to balance. 

Got another question? Email whistle@andrewandpete.com, we're happy to help.
