Authorised car service centres · Follow up systems

Contact every owner at the right moment after the visit, the quote and the last coupon.

A follow-up system for a service centre is the set of calls and messages that go out after a visit, an estimate or a package pitch. GullySales builds the triggers, the wording and the record so that nothing waits for someone to remember.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What follow up systems means

A follow-up system is the set routine for calling, messaging or emailing an enquiry more than once, since most buyers do not decide on the first conversation. GullySales sets the number and timing of follow-ups so an undecided buyer keeps hearing from you until they decide either way.

For authorised car service centres

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The estimate that was not approved”

    An owner leaves without agreeing to the brake job. If nobody asks a day later, the work is done at a garage or not at all. A call that restates what was found and what is urgent can bring the car back.

  • “The package pitched at the counter”

    The advisor explains a maintenance package and the owner says they will think. Without a dated follow-up the pitch ends there, and the next advisor has no note of it.

  • “The delivery day and the days after”

    A call after the car is returned asks whether the work holds up. This is where a complaint is caught before it becomes a low survey score, and where the next visit is first mentioned.

  • “The quiet owner”

    An owner who has not visited for a long time gets no reminder because no one is due to ring. A rule that lists cars with no visit past the expected interval turns silence into a task.

What we do

What we deliver for authorised car service centres.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Trigger list

    A list of the moments that need a follow-up: unapproved estimate, package pitch, delivery, last coupon, warranty end, no visit.

    Result: Each moment has an owner and a due rule.

  2. Wording for calls and messages

    Short scripts for each trigger, written in the way your advisors speak.

    Result: The advisor is not drafting from nothing.

  3. Task queue for advisors

    A list inside the CRM or a shared sheet showing who must ring whom today.

    Result: Each advisor opens a list when the shift starts.

  4. Outcome codes

    A few set results to record after each call, such as booked, thinking, declined, wrong number.

    Result: The manager can count outcomes without reading notes.

  5. Escalation rule

    A rule for sending unhappy responses to the service manager before the survey.

    Result: A complaint reaches a manager while it can still be fixed.

How the result is measured

  • Follow-up completion rate
  • Average number of follow-ups before close
  • Enquiries closed after repeat follow-up

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the follow up systems work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Measure today's reply time

    From last month's enquiries, we measure how long each waited for a first reply and how many follow-ups it got.

  2. 2

    Agree targets and the sequence

    We set reply targets and the follow-up sequence with your team, based on its real hours and workload.

  3. 3

    Set up templates, tasks and ownership

    Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.

  4. 4

    Track and adjust every month

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 2, qualification. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Will owners find the calls annoying?
Not when the call has a reason and is timed to something real, like an unapproved estimate. Keep to the consent given, and stop when an owner asks.
Who does the follow-up, the advisor or a caller?
Either works. Advisors know the car, a caller has more time. We set the split with your service manager and record it so no owner is rung by both.
What if the advisor changes?
The record carries the history. The next advisor sees the last conversation, the promise made and the next date, and continues from there.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
