Dermatology clinics · Sales metrics

See how many photo enquiries actually turned into a booked consultation this month.

Sales metrics for a dermatology clinic measure how enquiries, particularly WhatsApp photo enquiries, move from first contact to a booked and attended consultation. They also show where in that path patients are lost. GullySales reports these numbers treatment by treatment, instead of one figure for the whole clinic.

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

What sales metrics means

Sales metrics are the specific numbers, such as call volume, conversion rate and average deal size, that show whether a sales team is actually improving. GullySales reports these by enquiry outcome rather than activity, the same enquiry-based reporting used across every engagement.

For dermatology clinics

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

  • “Photo enquiries need their own conversion rate”

    A WhatsApp photo enquiry that converts to a booking behaves differently from a phone call, and tracking the two separately shows which channel actually deserves more attention or spend.

  • “Reply time as a measured number, not a feeling”

    Knowing the median and worst-case reply time to a photo enquiry, rather than assuming the front desk is fast, is often the single number that explains a drop in bookings.

  • “Treatment-level conversion, not clinic-wide”

    Tracking how many enquiries for laser hair removal became bookings, separately from acne treatment enquiries, shows where the marketing spend or the follow-up process needs attention.

What we do

What we deliver for dermatology clinics.

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

  1. Conversion rate by enquiry channel

    Separate conversion figures for WhatsApp photo enquiries, phone calls and form submissions, reported channel by channel.

    Result: The clinic can see which channel is actually worth more attention.

  2. Median and worst-case reply time tracked

    A measured figure for how long a photo enquiry waits for a reply, rather than an assumption about the front desk's speed.

    Result: A slow reply becomes visible instead of staying a guess.

  3. Treatment-level conversion breakdown

    Conversion tracked separately for treatments such as laser hair removal and acne treatment, instead of one clinic-wide figure.

    Result: The clinic sees which treatment's enquiries need attention, not just the average.

  4. Report against the recorded baseline

    A report on enquiries, reply time and conversion by channel and treatment, measured against the baseline recorded before work started.

    Result: Progress is judged against the clinic's own starting point, not a guess.

  5. Simple dashboard shared with the clinic

    A shared view of the current numbers that the clinic can check without waiting for the written report.

    Result: The owner can look at the numbers whenever they want to.

How the result is measured

  • Conversion rate
  • Average deal size
  • Sales cycle length

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Numbers worth tracking

The numbers a skin clinic can work out from its WhatsApp chats and appointment book.

Photo enquiries by concern
Label each WhatsApp chat with the concern in the photo: acne, pigmentation, hair fall, a rash or a mole. Count by label. A concern that brings many photos but few bookings needs a clearer first reply.
Photo enquiries sent after the desk closed
Sort chats by the time the first message arrived and mark those sent after clinic hours. Check when each got a reply and whether it booked. It shows whether evening messages are where patients slip away.
Consultations that led to a procedure plan
From the doctor's notes, count consultations where a peel, laser or other procedure was advised, and how many patients booked the first sitting. A gap points to cost or downtime questions left unanswered.
Sittings completed in a laser or peel package
For each package sold, compare sittings booked with sittings attended. A patient who stops halfway is worth a call from the clinic to ask how the skin is responding, before any talk of a new package.
Reasons patients did not book
When a patient declines after the consultation or the quote, note the reason in a word or two: cost, downtime, distance, a second opinion. Read the list before changing prices or adverts.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

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

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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 sales metrics work runs

  1. 1

    Review current metrics

    We look at what is currently tracked and how consistently it is defined and calculated.

  2. 2

    Select the core set

    We agree, with you, the small number of metrics that actually matter for decisions.

  3. 3

    Write the definitions

    Exact calculation rules are documented for each one.

  4. 4

    Build the scorecard

    A simple, regular report is built around the agreed metrics and definitions.

  5. 5

    Train the team

    We run a short session on using the scorecard in reviews, not just producing it.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

    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

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

What is the one number to watch first?
Reply time on WhatsApp photo enquiries, since a slow reply here loses patients before any other metric even comes into play.
How is this reported to us?
As part of enquiry-based reporting, showing enquiries, replies, bookings and completed treatments by source and by treatment.
Our enquiries are spread across two WhatsApp numbers and the doctor's own phone. How do we count them?
Move new enquiries to one WhatsApp Business number the desk controls, and label each chat by concern and outcome. Patients who message the doctor directly can be passed to that number. Count only from the date the single number starts, rather than mixing it with older guesses about the other phones.
Enquiries rise before the wedding season and fall after it. How do we compare one period with another?
Compare each concern with the same season last year, not with the weeks just before. Bridal skin and laser enquiries follow the wedding calendar, while acne and fungal concerns follow the weather. The share of consultations that became a booked procedure shows how the clinic is doing in any season.
How is marketing for a dermatology clinic different from a general hospital?
Patients search by named treatment, such as acne scar treatment or vitiligo treatment. They decide largely on visible proof, doctor qualification and photo trust, rather than on the hospital's general reputation. The pages, reviews and reply process need to be built around specific concerns rather than one general services listing.
Do we need ads or SEO for a dermatology clinic?
Most clinics benefit first from a complete Google Business Profile and a fast WhatsApp reply, which cost nothing in media. Ads make sense for cosmetic procedures such as laser hair removal or anti-ageing treatment, where you want bookings filled this month. SEO then works alongside them for enquiries that keep arriving once the spend stops.
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.
