Commercial vehicle repair workshops · WhatsApp marketing

Take the fault, the photograph and the location of the truck on one number.

WhatsApp marketing for a commercial vehicle workshop is the use of one business number to take breakdown details, send estimates, update owners and keep fleet contacts in touch. GullySales works on the setup, the replies and the lists that make that number carry the work.

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

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 commercial vehicle repair workshops

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

  • “The driver sends a photograph and a pin”

    A driver stuck at the roadside sends a picture of the fault and a location. A workshop that reads both and replies with a plan wins the job before the next yard has picked up.

  • “Estimates travel as messages”

    Owners approve an estimate by replying on WhatsApp. A clear message with parts and labour separated gets a quick yes, while a scribbled note gets a call to a rival.

  • “Group updates keep a fleet informed”

    A fleet manager with several trucks in your yard wants a status for each. A single message per truck, sent to the right person, replaces a day of phone calls.

  • “Broadcasts need consent”

    Sending offers to every number in a phone annoys people and breaks the platform's rules. A list of fleet contacts who agreed is smaller and answers better.

What we do

What we deliver for commercial vehicle repair workshops.

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

  1. A business number with a profile and catalogue

    A verified profile with hours, address, services and the truck makes handled.

    Result: The number looks like the workshop.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved replies for location, night service, estimate format and documents needed.

    Result: Common questions get the same good answer.

  3. A breakdown intake message

    A short prompt asking for the make, the fault, a photograph and a location pin.

    Result: The first call starts with the right details.

  4. A consent-based fleet contact list

    A way to add fleet contacts who agree to hear from the yard, with a record of when and how.

    Result: Messages go to people who expect them.

  5. A routing rule for who replies

    Names and hours for who answers which messages, with an out-of-hours reply.

    Result: Messages are not left unread overnight.

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.

Is WhatsApp enough or do we still need a website?
Both. WhatsApp handles the conversation, and the site carries the proof of the yard, the guides and the search presence. A fleet manager who sees only a number may want to check the yard first.
Can we send service reminders to customers?
Yes, to customers who have agreed, within the platform's current rules. Keep them specific to the truck and the service due, and let anyone opt out without argument.
Who should answer at night?
A named person with the saved replies and a clear rule for when to call the senior mechanic. If nobody is on duty, an out-of-hours reply that gives the next step is better than silence.
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.
