Insurance advisory firms · Follow up systems

Make sure no review ends with a thank-you and a silence.

A follow-up system for an advisory firm is the set of calls and notes that carry a prospect from first enquiry to review, and a client from review to completed changes. GullySales designs the routine and sets it up with your team.

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 insurance advisory firms

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

  • “The prospect who asked and went quiet”

    A family asks about a review, hears back, and then the papers never arrive. The reason is not lack of interest. It is a pending worry about who will see the documents. A gentle follow-up that answers that worry brings more back than a reminder to hurry.

  • “The report delivered into silence”

    The review report is handed over and the meeting ends. Weeks later the client has done nothing, because carrying out changes means contacting insurers and filling forms. A named person who calls to ask what is stuck is the difference between advice and results.

  • “Renewal is the point of greatest risk”

    A client who got no contact from you since the review hears from another seller at renewal. A call or note before the renewal letter arrives keeps the relationship where it was built.

What we do

What we deliver for insurance advisory firms.

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

  1. An enquiry-to-papers sequence

    A short set of messages answering the usual doubts about sharing documents, sent in your firm's voice.

    Result: A prospect who goes quiet receives answers rather than a nudge.

  2. An action tracker for agreed changes

    A list of every change agreed in a review, with the owner, the next step and the date it was last checked.

    Result: Open changes are visible to the whole team.

  3. A pre-renewal contact routine

    A reminder to the adviser to contact the client before each renewal, with a short script.

    Result: The client hears from you before anyone else.

  4. A routine for claim moments

    A short guide for what the firm does when a client calls about a claim, and who is the named contact.

    Result: A client in difficulty reaches a person, not a queue.

  5. A record of lapsed prospects

    A list of prospects who did not proceed, with the reason noted and a polite occasion to write again.

    Result: Nobody is chased without a reason or forgotten without a note.

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.

Who it is for

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 many follow-ups are too many?
Stop when the prospect says no, or when a clear reason is recorded. We set the sequence with you and keep each message useful, not repetitive.
Should follow-ups go by call, email or WhatsApp?
Use the channel the person used to reach you, and ask their preference at the first contact. For any messaging channel, keep consent on record.
Can follow-up sound like selling?
It will if every message pushes a product. Keep each one about the person's own policies and the next step they chose.
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.
