General insurance agencies · Follow up systems
Call before the policy lapses, not after the client has had a loss.
A follow-up system for a general insurance agency is the set of steps that turns an enquiry into a proposal and an expiry date into a renewal call. GullySales writes the steps, the scripts and the reminders so no follow-up depends on memory.
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 general insurance agencies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A quote sent is not a policy bound”
The proposal goes out and the client gets busy. Without a date to call again, the quote ages and the client buys from whoever calls next.
“Renewal calls are best made early”
A client reached well before expiry has time to compare and decide. A call after expiry is a rescue, and the cover may already have lapsed.
“A second-cover call needs a reason”
Calling a client only to sell more feels like a pitch. A call tied to something real, such as new stock or a new loan, gives a reason.
“Claims follow-up is a sales moment too”
A client who is kept informed during a claim remembers it at renewal. One left waiting remembers that instead.
What we do
What we deliver for general insurance agencies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Enquiry follow-up steps
A written sequence of calls and messages from first enquiry to proposal.
Result: No enquiry is left without a next date.
Renewal reminder schedule
A reminder plan for each cover, set against its expiry date.
Result: Every policy has a reminder before it lapses.
Second-cover call script
A short script that opens with the client's own situation.
Result: Your team makes the call with a reason.
Claim status update routine
A plain routine for telling a client where a claim stands.
Result: Clients hear from you without having to ask.
Lapsed policy recovery list
A list of recently lapsed policies and the wording for reaching those clients.
Result: Lapsed clients are contacted, not forgotten.
How the result is measured

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
