If you use or prefer other than the listed above, do comment that as reply.
 
Phone, Livechat, Contact Form.
I feel like an external chat is kinda unprofessional.
But external chat application can help you to keep in touch with them in future, if they are the regular users of those platforms, whenever they open the application they might have seen you, so possibility of more sales
 
WhatsApp is cool but be careful cause the client can start spamming you by constantly asking about deadlines and other stuff.
 
I use skype, although I think discord might turn around after the MS buy out, and start to be a bit less aimed at gamers

I’m not sure what you’re selling and if it’s B2C or B2B, but for this reason you should use a CRM. You can do proper up and cross selling via Email.

Just imagine brands like Gucci or others asking you to add them on WhatsApp or Telegram. Come one man. Focus on scaling your business and automating as much as you can.

It works only for B2B and high ticket clients who are sort of behaving inappropriately. That's what my experience has shown.
 
No Slack as an option?
Not used it lol, that's why the other option to explore more.

You are right, I thought this question focus the fellow marketers doing IM related service or product in this community. Even few of them using CRM and most use chat system on their website.

Slack is good but schedule your calls and don't let people bang on your doors for no reason. In other words take care of yourself and work for someone with high work ethics.
