Cancer hospitals · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp for practical answers to families and updates to referring doctors.

WhatsApp for a cancer hospital means a Business number that answers practical questions, shares checklists and confirms visits, with sensitive matters moved to a call. GullySales sets up the account, the approved replies and the rules for who may send what.

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

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.

Last updated 18 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For cancer hospitals

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

  • “Families already forward everything on WhatsApp”

    A report, a doctor's name and a hospital's address travel through relatives by chat. A clear checklist and location pin that a family can forward saves the desk repeating the same answers to each relative.

  • “A shared phone number mixes personal and hospital messages”

    If staff reply from personal numbers, conversations disappear when the person leaves. A business account with a shared inbox and named owners keeps the thread with the hospital.

  • “Clinical questions do not belong in chat”

    A family may send a photograph of a report and ask what it means. A written reply that invites a call with the right person protects the patient and the hospital, and still answers promptly.

  • “Broadcasts to the wrong list damage trust”

    A message about a camp sent to patients in treatment, or to people who never agreed to hear from you, reads as intrusion. Consent and separate lists decide who receives what.

What we do

What we deliver for cancer hospitals.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business account set up

    Profile, address, hours, catalogue of services and a greeting that says what the number is for.

    Result: A profile that tells a family what to expect.

  2. Approved quick replies

    Short replies for the usual questions: how to book, what to bring, where to park and how to ask for a second opinion.

    Result: Staff answer common questions in the same words.

  3. A forwardable pre-visit checklist

    A single message listing papers and reports to bring, with the location pin, made to be forwarded to relatives.

    Result: A family can share the checklist in one tap.

  4. Consent and list rules

    Who may be messaged about what, how consent is recorded and how a person opts out.

    Result: A rule sheet every sender follows.

  5. A referrer channel

    A way for surgeons and pathologists to send a referral note and receive an acknowledgement, with patient details handled by your rules.

    Result: A referring doctor gets a written acknowledgement.

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

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

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

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we share reports over WhatsApp?
That is a data-protection and confidentiality decision for your hospital. Check with your adviser, and use your own secure systems for reports. We set the account up to move clinical matters to a call.
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Not at the start. The Business app suits a small desk. A larger hospital with several staff sharing a number may need the API, and we check the platform's current rules and costs before recommending it.
Can we send camp invitations to old patients?
Only to people who agreed to receive them, and with care for those in treatment. We keep separate lists and wording, and your adviser confirms anything you are unsure of.
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.
