Surgical hospitals · WhatsApp marketing
Answer a family's WhatsApp message the way the desk would answer a visitor.
WhatsApp marketing for a surgical hospital is using the app that families already hold open to answer enquiries, send checklists and keep referring doctors informed. GullySales sets up the business account, the saved replies and the rules on consent.
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 surgical hospitals
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Families send a scan photograph with a question”
A son sends a picture of a report and asks if the hospital does this surgery. A desk that replies on a personal phone, with no record, answers once and loses the thread. A business account with a named owner keeps the conversation.
“A message is not a medical consultation”
The family will ask what the scan means. The desk must not interpret it. A saved reply that says the surgeon will review it, and offers a call or a consultation, protects the patient and the hospital.
“Doctors prefer WhatsApp to email”
A referring physician sends a patient with a message and wants an answer. A shared contact for urgent referrals, answered by a person, builds the habit. Keep patient details minimal in the message and record the referral the same day.
“Bulk messages to people who did not ask are a risk”
Broadcasting offers to a bought list breaks the platform's rules and families' trust. Message people who enquired or consented, and give them a clear way to stop. Check the platform's current rules before any campaign.
What we do
What we deliver for surgical hospitals.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A business account with a catalogue of services
Profile, hours, address and a list of the operations and consultation routes, owned by the hospital.
Result: Open the profile and see the hospital's details and services.
Saved replies for common questions
Replies on cost range, documents for cashless admission, consultation days and second opinions, approved by the relevant heads.
Result: The desk replies with the same wording each time.
A routing rule for each message type
Planned enquiry, second opinion, referral and emergency each go to a named person, with casualty directed to call.
Result: A message about an emergency is answered with the casualty number first.
A referring doctor contact
A separate number or label for urgent referrals, with a record kept of each one.
Result: Every referral message is logged against the doctor's record.
A consent and opt-out routine
A record of who agreed to receive messages and a simple stop instruction in each broadcast.
Result: Anyone who says stop is removed and not messaged again.
How the result is measured

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 whatsapp marketing work runs
- 1
Understand current WhatsApp use
We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.
- 2
Audit common questions
We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.
- 3
Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.
- 4
Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.
- 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.
