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 GATE coaching centres

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

  • “The aspirant messages before calling”

    A student who finds your page would rather type a question than speak to a stranger. A centre that answers on WhatsApp with the batch details meets the aspirant where they are comfortable.

  • “Batch details must be forwardable”

    A message with the branch, faculty, timing and fee options can be sent on to a friend or parent. A phone explanation cannot, so the written message becomes the thing that travels.

  • “Broadcasts need consent and restraint”

    Sending offers to every number on a list annoys students and risks the account. Send only to those who agreed to hear from you, and check the platform's current rules on business messaging.

  • “Groups serve admitted students, not prospects”

    Once a student joins, a batch group helps with schedules and doubts. Adding prospects to a group without asking is intrusive, so prospects stay in one-to-one chats until they join.

What we do

What we deliver for GATE coaching centres.

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

  1. WhatsApp Business profile

    Name, description, hours and catalogue of batches filled in for aspirants.

    Result: The profile states what you teach.

  2. Saved replies

    Prepared answers on batches, fees, demo timings and the hall address.

    Result: Counsellors reply in the same words.

  3. Click-to-chat links

    Links on branch pages, videos and posters that open a chat with the branch noted.

    Result: Each chat arrives tagged with a branch.

  4. Consent capture

    A line on forms and sign-up sheets asking permission to message, with a record kept.

    Result: You know who agreed to hear from you.

  5. Batch group guidelines

    Rules for admitted students' groups on posting, doubts and admin roles.

    Result: Groups stay useful.

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

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 whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can we message old enquiries?
Only those who agreed to receive messages from you. Ask in a plain line on the form, keep the record and let anyone opt out. Check the platform's current rules before sending a broadcast.
Do we need the official API?
A small centre can start with the Business app. The API suits larger volumes and automation, and GullySales can advise once your enquiry numbers show the need.
Who should reply?
A named counsellor, not a shared number nobody owns. Faculty answer academic questions by exception, so the counsellor passes those on.
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.
