Family medicine clinics · WhatsApp marketing

Answer households where they already write, with messages they agreed to get.

WhatsApp for a family medicine clinic covers booking, reminders and the short note a worried relative wants after a visit. GullySales sets up the business number, the consent record and the replies, using the tools in ordinary use in India and the platform's current rules.

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 family medicine clinics

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

  • “The household already writes to the doctor on WhatsApp”

    Photos of a rash or a lab report arrive on the doctor's personal number at night. A separate business number with set hours protects the doctor's time and gives the household one place to write. Set the clinic's hours in the profile so the household knows when to expect an answer.

  • “The group chat is not a consultation room”

    Replies on WhatsApp should move a medical question to a call or a visit. A clinic that diagnoses in chat takes on risk and sets a habit it cannot sustain. Write a standard reply that invites the household to call or book instead.

  • “Broadcasts without consent erode trust”

    Sending a seasonal offer to every saved number reads as spam. Reminders are welcome only from patients who agreed, and only about their own visit, vaccine or review. Check the platform's current rules on messaging before any list is used.

  • “A quick-reply saves the desk repeated typing”

    Timings, address, location pin and how to book are asked again and again. Saved replies answer the same question the same way each time. The doctor reads the saved replies once, so the desk never improvises a medical answer.

What we do

What we deliver for family medicine clinics.

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

  1. Business number and profile

    A WhatsApp Business profile with name, address, timings, description and a link to book.

    Result: A household sees a verified-looking clinic profile, not a personal number.

  2. Saved replies

    Replies for timings, location, booking, what to bring and an after-hours message.

    Result: The desk answers repeat questions in the same words.

  3. Consent record

    A way to log that a patient agreed to messages, with a simple opt-out reply.

    Result: Every contact on the list has agreed to hear from you.

  4. Reminder templates

    Approved wording for a visit, vaccine and review reminder, free of any diagnosis.

    Result: Reminders go out without exposing the reason for the visit.

  5. Rules for chat

    A one-page guide on what the desk may answer in chat and when to move to a call or visit.

    Result: The desk knows where chat ends.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do patients need to give permission first?
Yes. Message only those who agreed, keep each message to the purpose they agreed to, and give an easy way to stop. Check the platform's current rules, because they change.
Should the doctor use a personal number?
A separate business number keeps patient messages apart from family and friends. It also lets the desk reply during clinic hours, and lets the doctor switch off when the day ends.
Can we send reports and prescriptions on WhatsApp?
Clinics do this, to the patient who asked. Send only to the number the patient confirmed, and check with your own adviser how privacy rules apply to health information.
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.
