Nephrology clinics · WhatsApp marketing

Use the clinic's number to answer families, remind patients and receive referrals.

WhatsApp marketing for a nephrology clinic means using a clinic number for enquiries, reminders and referral notes, with each person's consent. GullySales sets up the business number, the saved replies and the rules that keep the channel useful and private.

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 nephrology clinics

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

  • “The family already lives on the app”

    A son in another city sends a photograph of a report at night. A clinic with a monitored number and a saved reply gets the booking. A clinic that answers on a doctor's personal phone loses messages and exposes the doctor.

  • “Referrers send reports on chat”

    A physician sends a patient's results as a photograph. Without a place to log them, they are lost in a phone. A clinic number with a nominated person, and a register behind it, turns each chat into a referral.

  • “Reminders work if they are short and agreed”

    A line giving the date, the blood test and the clinic's number is read. A paragraph of advice is muted. Consent must be recorded, and the message must carry no diagnosis.

  • “Broadcast lists can break trust”

    Sending health messages to everyone in the phone book is a breach of the patient's choice. Check the platform's current rules and your adviser's guidance before any list is created.

What we do

What we deliver for nephrology clinics.

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

  1. A clinic business number with a profile

    Name, timings, address, booking link and a short greeting, kept apart from the doctor's personal phone.

    Result: The clinic has a number the team shares and the doctor does not.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Answers on first visit, what to bring, dialysis slots, directions and the scheme, each approved by the clinic.

    Result: The desk replies in the same words every time.

  3. A referral intake routine

    How a referral chat is logged, acknowledged to the referrer and passed to the doctor.

    Result: Each referral appears in the register.

  4. A consented reminder template set

    Short reminders for tests and reviews that mention no diagnosis.

    Result: Templates written for the platform's current rules.

  5. A rule for who answers and when

    Named staff, a message on timings outside hours and a path to call for emergencies.

    Result: No family is left wondering whether the chat is watched.

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.

Can a nephrology clinic send promotional messages on WhatsApp?
Medical advertising rules differ by profession and state, and the platform has its own current rules. Check both. Reminders and replies to people who contacted you are the safer use. Promotional lists need consent and your adviser's view.
Should patients message the nephrologist directly?
Better not. Route messages to the clinic number so a team member answers and records them. The doctor then sees what matters and is not carrying every chat. For anything urgent, the reply should send the family to call the clinic or the nearest emergency service.
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.
