Investment advisory firms · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to confirm, remind and share, and keep advice for the agreement.

WhatsApp marketing for an advisory firm means using the channel investors already open for confirmations, document reminders and invitations, while leaving advice to the advisory agreement. GullySales works on the business profile, the message templates and the reply for people who ask for tips.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For investment advisory firms

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

  • “Investors already live there”

    Professionals in India message their accountant, doctor and bank on WhatsApp. A meeting confirmation or a link to the pending forms lands where they look, and gets read, in a way that an email to a busy inbox may not.

  • “A chat is not an advisory agreement”

    A client who messages should I sell this fund is asking for advice outside the agreement and outside the record. A standing reply moves that question to a scheduled call, where it can be answered properly and noted.

  • “A broadcast list needs consent”

    A list of investors who never asked for messages turns a trusted adviser into spam. Add people who agreed, say what you will send, and give a plain way to leave. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging.

  • “A business number keeps work apart from family”

    Clients who hold your personal number message at all hours and in the middle of family chats. A business number puts the conversation in one place that a colleague can cover, and the record survives a change of phone.

What we do

What we deliver for investment advisory firms.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile

    Name, registration line, description and a link to the fee page, filled in so the profile answers who you are before the first reply.

    Result: A visitor to the number sees a registered adviser, not a blank contact.

  2. Message templates for routine moments

    Wording for a meeting confirmation, a pending-document reminder and an invitation to a talk, each short and free of advice.

    Result: Routine messages go out in the same words every time.

  3. A reply for advice requests in chat

    A courteous standing answer that moves a request for a tip or a recommendation to a call under the agreement.

    Result: Nobody is handed advice in a chat, and nobody is ignored.

  4. A consent record and an opt-out

    A note of who agreed to receive which messages, and a clear way to stop them.

    Result: You can show who asked to hear from you.

  5. A click-to-chat link on the fee page

    A link on your fee page and articles that opens a chat with the enquiry reason already filled in.

    Result: Enquiries from the website arrive with their source attached.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing 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

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

Tell us what you need
Can we send market updates on WhatsApp?
Keep broadcasts to articles on process and invitations to talks. Market views and tips are the messages that advertising and advisory rules look at, so check with your compliance adviser and the platform's current rules.
Should clients have our personal number?
Give them the business number. Messages then sit in one place a colleague can cover, and the record outlasts a change of phone. Keep the personal number for family and friends.
Do we keep chat records?
Treat the chat as part of the client record. Ask your compliance adviser how advisers must keep communications and for how long, because the rules are specific and we do not state them for you.
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.
