Corporate insurance brokers · Follow up systems

Decide who owes the next message on every open quotation.

A follow-up system for a corporate broker is the agreed set of next steps, owners and messages for each stage between a request and a decision. GullySales builds the routine and the wording with your team, and checks it against the quotations that went quiet.

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

Insurance brokers: show a real physical business scene illustrating Client files and risk details. Hold each client with contacts, assets, turnover and the full list of cover arranged through the firm, whichever underwriter issued it.

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 corporate insurance brokers

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

  • “A quotation sent is not a conversation had”

    After the comparison goes out, the buyer is silent and the broker waits. Neither side owns the next move. A named owner and a stated next step turn the silence into a question that can be asked politely.

  • “A follow-up that repeats the quote adds nothing”

    A message that says only that the quotation is attached is easy to ignore. A message that notes an exclusion differing between two offers, or asks who will sign, gives the buyer something to answer.

  • “The renewal begins long before the expiry”

    A broker who contacts a client only when the insurer's offer arrives is competing with the incumbent. A routine that asks for claims data and headcount changes earlier turns preparation into a normal part of the relationship.

  • “A claim handled badly cancels the year's service”

    The follow-up after a difficult claim, a check that the employee heard back and the HR head knows the status, decides how the client speaks of the broker at the next review. It belongs in the system as much as a sales message.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate insurance brokers.

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

  1. A next-step rule for each stage

    For every stage of the quotation record, a statement of what happens next, who does it and what the buyer receives.

    Result: No open quotation sits without an owner.

  2. Message templates that ask a question

    Short follow-up notes for the finance head, the HR head and the adviser, each ending with one question the reader can answer.

    Result: Replies become easier for the buyer to give.

  3. A renewal preparation routine

    A checklist of what to collect before a comparison is drawn up: claims record, headcount changes, insurer terms and open complaints.

    Result: The comparison starts from facts your team gathered.

  4. A post-claim check-in

    A prompt for the account manager to confirm status with the HR head after a difficult claim, in words your compliance head has seen.

    Result: The client hears from you before they chase.

  5. A review of lost quotations

    A look at quotations that went quiet, noting where follow-up stopped and why, to adjust the routine.

    Result: The routine is corrected by real cases.

  6. A reply-handling guide for the desk

    Notes for whoever answers the phone on who to route to, what to record and what not to promise.

    Result: A caller meets a consistent answer.

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

How the follow up systems work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 2, qualification. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How often should we follow up on a quotation?
There is no rule that fits every buyer. Follow the expiry date and the buyer's stated process, and send a message only when it adds something. We set rhythms with your team from your own mandates.
What if the buyer has gone silent?
Send one clear message that asks whether the review is still on, who is deciding and what would help. If the silence continues, record the quotation as lost with a reason, so the pattern is visible later.
Should follow-up be automated?
Reminders can be. The words should come from a person who knows the account. An automated note about an unresolved claim reads badly, so we automate the prompt and leave the message to your team.
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.
