What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For authorised car service centres

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

  • “Owners ask for a slot by message, not by call”

    An owner on the road sends a text asking whether Saturday is free. A workshop that answers from a personal phone loses the thread when that phone changes hands. A shared business number keeps the chat with the centre.

  • “A reminder with the bay time protects the slot”

    A slot confirmed and then reminded is kept better than a slot left to the owner's diary. The message should state the day, the time, the address and who the owner will meet.

  • “Consent and platform rules limit what you can send”

    Owners must have agreed to receive messages. The platform has its own rules for business messaging, which change, so check the platform's current rules before any campaign.

  • “The chat is where estimates are explained”

    An owner who gets a photo of a worn part and a short note can approve a job from home. A written record of the approval protects the workshop and the owner.

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. Business number set-up

    A workshop number with a profile, a greeting and quick replies for hours, location and booking.

    Result: Owners message one number that the whole desk can read.

  2. Booking and reminder flow

    Message templates for confirmation, reminder and pick-up arrangement, in your wording.

    Result: The owner receives a confirmation and a reminder for each slot.

  3. Service due messages

    Reminders tied to the last free service and the warranty end date, sent only where consent exists.

    Result: Each message goes to an owner who agreed to it.

  4. Estimate approval flow

    A format for sending photos and the estimate, and for recording the owner's reply.

    Result: The reply is saved against the job card.

  5. Handling rules

    Who answers, the reply time the team sets for itself, and when a chat becomes a call.

    Result: The front desk knows its role in every chat.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

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

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing 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

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

Tell us what you need
Can we message all past customers?
Only those who agreed to hear from you, and within the platform's current rules. We check what consent exists before any broadcast, and keep a record of it.
Do we need the official business API?
For larger volumes and approved templates, yes, and a provider handles the set-up. A small workshop can start with the business app and move over later.
Should the chat replace calls?
No. The chat handles bookings, reminders and photos. A sensitive complaint or a large estimate still deserves a voice.
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.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
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.
