Two-wheeler dealers · Customer retention

Make the service bay the first place your owners think of for their next bike.

Retention in a two-wheeler dealership is the owner who keeps coming for service and, in time, buys his next bike and the family's second one from you. Most dealers keep the job cards and never read them for this. GullySales turns the service register into a list of owners due for a change, with the insurance renewals and the families behind them.

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

What customer retention means

Customer retention is keeping an existing customer buying again rather than losing them to a competitor after the first purchase, usually cheaper than winning a new customer. GullySales sets a routine of check-ins and renewal reminders aimed at customers before they show signs of leaving.

For two-wheeler dealers

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

  • “The service register is the best sales list in the building”

    Every owner's name, number, model and last visit are already written there. It tells you who rides an old scooter and who has stopped coming.

  • “Insurance renewal is the call left to the insurer”

    The renewal date follows from your own invoice, and the policy lapses on it. A dealer who rings before that date stays in touch with the owner, and one who does not hears nothing.

  • “A stamp card does not hold a rider who buys one bike in many years”

    What holds an owner is a call at the right moment, from a showroom that knows which bike he rides and how long he has ridden it.

What we do

What we deliver for two-wheeler dealers.

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

  1. A list of owners due for a change, taken from the service register

    Every owner with the model, the invoice date and the last service visit, sorted so the oldest bikes and the closed loans come first.

    Result: The people most likely to buy again are on one list.

  2. An insurance renewal call list built from the invoices

    Policies due to lapse, worked out from the invoice date, with a call before the date and a note of who has renewed elsewhere.

    Result: The owner hears from you before the policy lapses.

  3. A call scripted around the bike he rides

    What the advisor or executive says when an owner comes up on the list, naming the model, the age of the bike and the reason for the call.

    Result: The owner hears a showroom that knows his bike.

  4. Families linked in the register

    Records joined by phone number or address, so the owner of one bike, a spouse's scooter and a son's first bike show up together.

    Result: One conversation can open three sales.

  5. A lapsed-owner list and the note written for it

    Owners who serviced with you earlier and have stopped, separated out, with a short message that asks why and does not push.

    Result: You learn who drifted to a garage, and why.

  6. Repeat buyers counted against the baseline

    The share of deliveries from existing owners and service customers, set against the figure recorded before the work started.

    Result: Retention becomes a number you can read.

How the result is measured

  • Retention rate
  • Repeat purchase rate
  • Customers won back

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

Work it out from your records

Your invoice file and job cards give you the service list, the lapsed list and the upgrade list.

Owners due for an upgrade
List owners by model and the date of the invoice. Mark those with the oldest bikes in the register and those whose finance has ended. They are the first to ring about an exchange.
Service visits kept and missed
For each bike, note the service due date on the job card and whether he came. List those past the date, then count how many of the reminded owners booked.
Insurance renewals due
Take the invoice date and the policy period, and list policies about to lapse. Ring before the date. Ask whether he has already renewed elsewhere, and note the answer.
Finance closing
Ask the financier, or note on the invoice file, when a loan closes. An owner who has just paid the last instalment is thinking of his next bike, so mark him.
Families behind one bike
Link records by phone number or address. Where the father has a bike, mark whether the wife or the son has a record. Each linked name is a possible sale.
Owners who stopped servicing
List those serviced with you before and not now. Ring and ask why. Write the reason in his words: price, distance, a bad visit or a move to another town.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the customer retention work runs

  1. 1

    Assess current retention

    A first read of current retention rate, existing tactics and where they are or are not coordinated.

  2. 2

    Build the strategy

    A written plan developed covering priority segments, touchpoints and a measurable target.

  3. 3

    Align existing tactics

    Current retention activities mapped against the strategy and adjusted to work together rather than independently.

  4. 4

    Track toward the target

    Retention tracked against the goal, with the strategy adjusted as results come in.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
When do we count a service customer as lapsed?
When he has missed the visit his own bike was due for and has booked nothing after your reminder. Use the due date on his job card, not a fixed gap, because a daily commuter and a weekend rider ride differently. Ring once, listen and record the reason.
How do we win back a customer who now services at a roadside garage?
Ask why: price, speed, distance or a bad visit. Offer what answers it, such as a pickup or a clear estimate before work starts. Do not run the garage down. A bike out of warranty goes where it is cheaper, so give a reason, not a lecture.
Who should make the retention calls?
The service advisor who knows the bike, joined by a sales executive when an upgrade is the topic. A call from a person the customer has met is answered. Keep the register open during the call and write the outcome.
Is a referral reward for owners worth running?
Only if you can honour it and the manufacturer's dealer guidelines allow it. Record who sent whom on the enquiry form, and thank the owner in person at his next service. Keep any reward small and clear, and never promise one you have not agreed.
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.
