Genetic testing laboratories · Follow up systems
Every enquiry, sample and report gets a next step with a name against it.
A follow-up system for a genetic testing laboratory is the set of rules that decide who contacts whom after an enquiry, a sample and a report. GullySales writes the rules, the checklists and the reminders, and leaves the clinical content to your counsellors.
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 genetic testing laboratories
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Follow-up starts before the sample”
A family asks about a test and hears nothing for a while. By the time someone calls, they have chosen another lab or lost the nerve. A callback rule with an owner prevents the silence that does the damage.
“The report is where trust is made or lost”
The sample is drawn, the report is issued, and the counsellor call slips. The family reads a result alone. A follow-up that places the counsellor call beside each issued report, and tells the ordering doctor it happened, protects the family and the relationship.
“Doctors need a different kind of follow-up”
An obstetrician who ordered once wants to know the sample arrived and the report is on its way. A short status note and an offer of a call with a scientist about any difficult variant keeps the next order coming without pressure.
What we do
What we deliver for genetic testing laboratories.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A callback rule for new enquiries
Who calls, in what order, and what to record, written on one page.
Result: Each enquiry has a named caller and a logged outcome.
A sample status note
A message to the family and the doctor when a sample is received and when it moves to the next step.
Result: You can see which samples have had a status note.
A counsellor call checklist
A list that links each issued report to a counsellor call and a note to the ordering doctor.
Result: For any report you can say whether the family was called.
A doctor re-contact plan
A rule for reaching doctors who ordered once and have not ordered again, with a useful reason for each contact.
Result: Each lapsed doctor has a planned contact.
A stalled-enquiry review
A regular look at enquiries that stopped, with the step where they stopped.
Result: The list names the steps where families leave.
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.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 follow up systems work runs
- 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.
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.
