HealthTech startups · Follow up systems

Make sure no pilot goes quiet because nobody knew whose turn it was.

A follow-up system for a HealthTech startup is the routine that tells the team who contacts which clinic, hospital or patient next and with what message. GullySales writes the steps, the messages and the reminders so a slow buyer is not forgotten.

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 HealthTech startups

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

  • “Slow decisions look like silence”

    A hospital committee that meets once in a while is not saying no. Without a set next contact and a reason to write, the founder either chases too hard or lets the pilot lapse.

  • “The first days at a clinic decide adoption”

    A doctor who tries the tool and meets a snag with nobody to call goes back to paper. Follow-up in that period is support, with a named person and a way to reach them.

  • “A patient follow-up needs consent first”

    Reminders for repeat tests or refills are useful, and they are also health-related messages. They go only to patients whose consent is on record, in the language the patient chose.

  • “Each message must give a reason to reply”

    A note saying just checking in is easy to ignore. A note that brings one useful thing, such as an answer to the IT question raised last time, earns a reply.

What we do

What we deliver for HealthTech startups.

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

  1. Follow-up map

    A chart of who follows up with each type of buyer, at which points, and with what.

    Result: Every stage has a named person responsible for the next contact.

  2. Message set

    Short messages for after a demo, after a pilot starts, after an IT review and after a silence.

    Result: Each message has a purpose and a single ask.

  3. Adoption support routine

    A plan for checking in with a new clinic, with a contact the doctor and receptionist can reach.

    Result: The clinic knows whom to call, and the call is logged.

  4. Patient reminder rules

    Rules for who may receive a recall message, the wording and the consent record behind it.

    Result: No reminder goes to a patient without consent on file.

  5. Stalled-account review

    A review of accounts with no activity and a decision to chase, pause or close.

    Result: Each quiet account has a recorded decision.

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

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 often should we follow up?
It depends on the buyer and the stage. A clinic in trial needs closer contact than a hospital waiting on a committee, and we set the rhythm account by account with you.
Should follow-up be automated?
Automate the reminders to the team and the consented patient messages. Keep buyer replies personal, since a committee notices a template.
What if a buyer asks us to stop?
Stop at once and record it. A clear opt-out is part of the system, for buyers and for patients.
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.
