CAT coaching centres · Follow up systems

Call back the candidate whose score you saw, before another centre does.

A follow-up system for a CAT coaching centre is the set of calls and messages that move a candidate from a mock score to a mentor conversation and a decision. GullySales writes the sequence, the scripts and the rules for who calls whom.

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 CAT coaching centres

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

  • “The score arrives and then silence follows”

    A candidate who sees a disappointing mock result is open to advice. If no one calls then, the same candidate takes another centre's mock the next evening.

  • “Working candidates answer in the evening”

    A call placed in office hours goes unanswered and is marked as not interested. Counsellors need call windows set around the candidate's schedule, not their own.

  • “The undecided candidate needs a reason to return”

    A candidate who says they will think about it is not refusing. A follow-up with a useful item, such as a sectional plan, gives them a reason to reply.

  • “Lapsed enrolled candidates need a different follow-up”

    A candidate who misses classes after early tests needs a mentor's call about the score, not a fee reminder. The tone and the sender must differ.

What we do

What we deliver for CAT coaching centres.

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

  1. Post-mock call script

    A short script for the mentor call that reads the sectional report with the candidate.

    Result: Each call has a clear opening and a next step.

  2. Follow-up sequence for undecided candidates

    A set of messages, each carrying something useful, such as a sectional plan or a sample class.

    Result: Silence is met with value, not repetition.

  3. Call window rules

    Rules that place calls to working professionals in the hours when they can talk.

    Result: Fewer calls land when the phone is switched off.

  4. Attendance-drop outreach

    A routine in which a mentor reaches out to a candidate who has missed classes after early sectional tests.

    Result: Candidates get a person's call before they disappear.

  5. Ownership and escalation rules

    A note on which counsellor owns which candidate and when a lead moves to someone else.

    Result: No candidate waits because two people thought the other had called.

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

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 follow up systems work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    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.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
How many follow-ups are too many?
Stop when the candidate asks you to, and respect that at once. Between those points, each message should carry something new. Repeating the same pitch loses a candidate sooner than anything.
Should a mentor or a counsellor make the call?
Use a mentor when the call is about the score and the plan. Use a counsellor for fees, timings and batch choice. Mixing the two weakens both conversations.
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.
