Private hospitals · WhatsApp marketing

Reply to the family's first WhatsApp message with something useful.

WhatsApp marketing for a private hospital means using the app families already use to answer enquiries, share estimates and send reminders, with consent and a clear owner. GullySales sets up the business profile, the reply wording and the handover between the bot and a person.

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.

For private hospitals

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

  • “The first message is a cost question”

    A family asks what a procedure will cost and which doctor does it. A reply that only asks them to call the front desk puts the work back on them. A range, the inclusions and a named contact keep the conversation going.

  • “An out-of-hours message deserves a reply”

    Worry peaks at night. A family who writes at eleven and hears nothing until the afternoon may already have visited another hospital. An automatic acknowledgement with the casualty number protects the urgent case.

  • “Sending records over a personal phone is risky”

    Staff forwarding reports and prescriptions from private numbers lose control of sensitive files. A business account with defined access and rules for what is shared is safer.

  • “Bulk messages can burn goodwill”

    Sending health promotions to everyone who ever called the hospital annoys people and may breach platform rules. Messages should go only to people who asked for them, and should say something useful.

What we do

What we deliver for private hospitals.

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

  1. WhatsApp Business profile set-up

    Name, description, hours, catalogue of packages and quick replies, set up on a business number.

    Result: The hospital appears as a business, not a personal contact.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Approved answers on visiting hours, packages, cashless process, doctor availability and directions.

    Result: The helpdesk replies consistently.

  3. An estimate message format

    A standard layout for a range, what it includes, what it does not and the next step.

    Result: Every estimate is written the same way.

  4. Consent and opt-out records

    A record of who agreed to receive messages and how to stop them.

    Result: You can show who consented.

  5. Bot to person handover

    A simple greeting flow that passes anything medical or urgent to a person.

    Result: No urgent message is answered by automation alone.

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.

Is the WhatsApp Business API needed?
Not at the start. The Business app suits a small helpdesk. The API suits larger volumes and several agents. Check the platform's current rules and costs before deciding.
Can the bot give medical advice?
No. It answers logistics and passes clinical questions to staff. Advertising and health data rules differ by profession and state, so check with your own adviser.
Can we send health tips to our patient list?
Only to people who agreed to receive them, and within the platform's current rules. We help you collect consent and write messages worth receiving.
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.
