GRE and GMAT coaching institutes · Follow up systems

Stay useful to the candidate whose decision takes a season, not a day.

A follow-up system for a test-preparation institute is the agreed set of messages and calls that keep a slow decision warm without pressure. GullySales works on who contacts whom, with what, and what gets recorded.

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 GRE and GMAT coaching institutes

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

  • “Enquirers are not ready on the day”

    The candidate who asked for a brochure is weeks from a decision. A single call and then silence leaves the institute forgotten by the time the candidate is ready.

  • “Pressure ends the conversation”

    A counsellor who rings repeatedly to close earns a blocked number. Analytical candidates respond to something useful: a worked problem, a batch update, a date reminder.

  • “Demo no-shows are leads, not losses”

    A candidate who booked a demo and did not attend still wants coaching. A short reschedule message, sent the same day, recovers a person who was only busy.

  • “Different silences need different messages”

    The candidate who attended a demo and went quiet needs one note. The candidate who never booked needs another. Sending both the same text wastes the chance with each.

What we do

What we deliver for GRE and GMAT coaching institutes.

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

  1. A written follow-up sequence by stage

    A short series of messages for each stage, each carrying something of use rather than a reminder to buy.

    Result: Candidates hear from you with a reason.

  2. A no-show recovery message

    A reschedule note with the next demo slots, sent the same day as the missed demo.

    Result: Missed demos turn into rebooked ones.

  3. Consent and opt-out handling

    A record of how each candidate agreed to be contacted, with a clear way to stop.

    Result: You contact only those who agreed.

  4. Task reminders in the CRM

    A due date on each open lead so that no candidate is left without a next contact.

    Result: No lead waits without an owner.

  5. A report of stalled leads

    A list of candidates with no contact past a set point, handed to the counsellor in charge.

    Result: Forgotten leads are found before they join elsewhere.

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 often should we contact a slow decider?
Often enough to be remembered and rarely enough to stay welcome. Let the content decide: contact when you have something worth sending, such as a new batch date or a worked problem.
Should follow-up be automated?
Automate the reminders and the first message. Keep the real conversation human, because the candidate is deciding on trust in the teacher. Check the platform's current rules for automated messages.
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.
