Martial arts schools · Follow up systems
Make sure every trial child and every grading date gets a message.
A follow-up system for a martial arts school is the set of calls and messages that move a family from a trial class to enrolment, and from enrolment to the next grading. GullySales writes the steps, the wording and the reminders, and the school sends them.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 martial arts schools
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The best moment to call is the evening of the trial”
The child is still excited and the parent remembers the class. A call or message that evening feels like care. The same call a fortnight later feels like a sales call.
“Parents who say they will think are still deciding”
A hesitation has a reason behind it: fee, timing or a safety worry. A gentle follow-up that asks which one gives the school a chance to help, and a missing follow-up gives the decision away.
“A missed class is a signal”
A student absent for a few sessions before a grading is drifting. A short, friendly message from the instructor brings them back where silence would not.
“Grading reminders carry the whole family”
The date, what is required and the fee, sent to the parent in good time. Without it, the family finds out late, the child is unprepared, and the grading feels like a failure.
What we do
What we deliver for martial arts schools.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A post-trial message sequence
A same-evening note, a gentle check-in and a final invitation, each written in your school's voice.
Result: Every trial receives a reply.
A hesitation reply set
Short replies for the common reasons parents wait: fees, timings, safety and age.
Result: The front desk answers the real concern.
Absence check-in messages
A friendly note for a student who has missed sessions, sent by the instructor or front desk.
Result: Drifting students are noticed early.
Grading reminder templates
Messages carrying the date, the requirements and the fee for each grading.
Result: Families arrive prepared.
A follow-up tracker
A list showing who needs a message today and who has already had one.
Result: Nothing depends on someone remembering.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 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
