Eye hospitals · Follow up systems
The cataract patient who said 'after Sankranti' needs a call after Sankranti.
A follow-up system for an eye hospital decides what happens to each patient who was advised something and has not done it yet: the cataract patient waiting for a festival, the camp attendee told to come in, the glaucoma patient who missed a review. GullySales sets who calls, what is said and where each call is 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 eye hospitals
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Eye disease does not hurt while it gets worse”
Glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy take sight without pain, so a patient who feels fine skips the review. Without a call, the next visit comes when they notice something is missing.
“Injections come in a series”
A retina patient who misses one injection in a course has not cancelled. They are waiting for someone to tell them it matters, and the desk needs a list of who is due and who did not come.
“Families decide surgery around the calendar”
Harvest, a wedding, the son's leave, an auspicious month. A patient who names a date has told you when to call, and that date belongs in the record.
What we do
What we deliver for eye hospitals.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A due list for each department
Glaucoma reviews, injection dates, post-operative visits and children's follow-ups pulled from the OPD record into one list the desk works through.
Result: Missed visits show up as names, not as a vague feeling.
Callback owners by kind of patient
Counsellors for patients advised surgery, the retina coordinator for injections and the camp team for camp attendees, each with a list of their own.
Result: Every advised patient belongs to someone.
Words for each call
Short scripts for each situation that remind the patient and ask what is holding them back, with no pressure and no clinical claims, read by your medical director.
Result: Staff call without sounding like a sales line.
Every attempt on the record
The date, the channel, what the patient said and the next date, written on the patient's enquiry record rather than in a staff member's notebook.
Result: The next caller knows what was said last time.
Follow-ups compared with the baseline
Advised patients called, booked and seen, by department, compared with the figures recorded before the routine started.
Result: You see whether the calls bring patients back.
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 eye patients
What the hospital does next for each patient who was advised something and has not done it yet.
- Advised cataract surgery, said after the festival
- The counsellor notes the date the family named and calls after it, asking whether the lens and the surgery date can now be settled. Record the reason given and the new date.
- Sent to another department, did not go
- The OPD coordinator calls the same week the optometrist referred them, explains why the check was advised and books the slot on the call. Record the department and the outcome.
- Camp attendee advised to come to the hospital
- The camp team calls each name on the camp sheet, mentions the camp and the village, and gives the transport details if the hospital provides them. Record who agreed and who did not.
- Glaucoma or retina patient who missed a review
- The department coordinator calls, says the review is due and books it. For an injection series, call before the due date as well. Record why the visit was missed.
- Operated on one eye, second eye not booked
- Before the last post-operative visit ends, the counsellor asks about the second eye and books it if the surgeon advised it. If not, write the reason and a date to ask again.
- Patient who said no
- Thank them, record the reason, such as cost, fear or another hospital, and stop calling. Ask whether they would like a reminder when their next eye check is due.

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.
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.
