Orthopaedic equipment suppliers · Follow up systems

Call back the family that asked about the walker and went quiet.

A follow-up system for an orthopaedic supplier is a set of dated calls and messages after an enquiry, a sale or a rental. GullySales writes the steps, the wording and the record that tells staff who to call next.

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

Orthopaedic hospitals and clinics: show a real physical business scene illustrating Fracture clinic and casualty record. Register trauma cases with the injury, X-ray orders, the plaster or splint applied and the decision to treat or admit, all on the patient’s record.

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 orthopaedic equipment suppliers

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

  • “The enquiry that asked about price is not a lost sale”

    A family that rings, hears a figure and puts the phone down may be checking three shops. A call asking whether they found what they needed brings the order back where waiting does not.

  • “A wrong fit is a follow-up moment”

    A customer who bought a belt or a brace and has not returned may be wearing the wrong size and saying nothing. A call that asks how it fits turns a silent complaint into an exchange.

  • “Rentals need a reminder before the due date”

    A wheelchair on rent that runs past its date costs you stock and annoys the next customer. A message before the date, and a purchase option for a long rental, is kinder than a late chase.

  • “Referrers deserve a thank-you, not a favour”

    When a physiotherapist sends someone, a short note saying the customer was served keeps the relationship warm. It carries no payment and no request, only the courtesy of an answer.

What we do

What we deliver for orthopaedic equipment suppliers.

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

  1. Enquiry follow-up steps

    A sequence of calls and messages after an unanswered enquiry, with wording for each.

    Result: A script for the next call.

  2. Fit check call

    A short call or message after a purchase that asks how the item fits and offers an exchange under your rule.

    Result: Exchanges raised by the shop, not by an angry customer.

  3. Rental reminder routine

    A reminder before the return date and a purchase option for rentals that run long.

    Result: A list of rentals due, ready for the counter.

  4. Referrer thank-you note

    A short acknowledgement to the clinic or desk that sent the customer.

    Result: A note staff can send in a minute.

  5. Follow-up record

    Dates, outcomes and next steps logged for every customer who is waiting on you.

    Result: A record that shows who has not been called.

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.

  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 follow up systems work runs

  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.

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.

What number of calls is right?
We set the steps with you so that a family is not pestered. Stop when they say no or buy elsewhere, and respect any request not to be contacted.
Is it all right to message on WhatsApp?
Use it where the customer gave their number for that purpose, and give an easy way to stop. Check the platform's current rules and your adviser on consent for business messages.
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.
