Diagnostic centres · Follow up systems
Call back the patient whose doctor wants the scan repeated, before another centre does.
Follow-up for a diagnostic centre is what happens after the first contact: the caller who asked an MRI price and never booked, the patient whose doctor wants a test repeated, the HR manager sitting on a camp quote. GullySales sets who calls whom, on which channel, with what words, and what gets written down.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 diagnostic centres
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Price callers are thanked and forgotten”
A person ringing to ask what a CT costs has a prescription in hand. If nobody takes a name and number on that call, there is nobody to call back when they hesitate.
“Repeat tests are left to the patient's memory”
A diabetic due for HbA1c, or a thyroid nodule to be rescanned, goes wherever is convenient on the day. A reminder backed by the doctor's instruction keeps them with the centre that holds the old report.
“Corporate quotes die between HR and finance”
The HR manager liked the camp proposal, then finance wanted a different format. With nobody named to follow it, the quote lapses and the office books whoever rang last.
What we do
What we deliver for diagnostic centres.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A call-back list for price enquiries
Every caller who asked about a scan or package logged with name, number, the test and why they did not book, then called back by the desk.
Result: Price questions get a second conversation.
Recall lists built from the doctor's advice
Patients whose referring doctor asked for a repeat test, listed with the due date and their consent to a reminder.
Result: The repeat test is done where the first one was.
Wording for each kind of follow-up
Short scripts for a hesitant MRI caller, a family comparing packages, a missed scan appointment and a corporate quote gone quiet.
Result: Whoever picks up the phone says the right thing.
A corporate proposal tracker
Each camp or annual employee check-up quote recorded with the HR contact, the finance contact, the next step and its date.
Result: No corporate quote lapses unnoticed.
A reason recorded for every no
A short list of reasons, such as price, distance, insurer not accepted or the doctor's choice, picked for every lost enquiry.
Result: You learn which refusals can be fixed.
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.
Follow-up routine for this trade
What the desk does next for each diagnostic enquiry that has not become a booking.
- Asked the MRI or CT price, did not book
- The imaging desk calls back the same day, asks whether the doctor's slip is ready and offers two slots. Record the scan, the reason for waiting and the next call date.
- Family asked about a package, no booking
- Send the package's test list and the home collection option on WhatsApp, then call to ask who it is for. Note whether it is for a parent and when they want it done.
- Booked a scan, did not turn up
- Call to ask whether the scan is still needed and offer another slot. If they went elsewhere, note where and why in a word.
- Doctor advised a repeat test
- With consent, remind the patient near the date the doctor gave, and mention the earlier report is on file for comparison. Record whether they rebooked.
- Corporate camp quote sent
- The person who sent it calls the HR contact to ask what is pending and who else must approve. Record the approver and the date of the next step.
- Check-up done a year ago
- Send a plain reminder naming the same package and offering home collection. Stop if the patient says no, and record that they did.

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.
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
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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 follow up systems work runs
- 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
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
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 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.
