Heavy equipment and forklift dealers · Email marketing
You know who owns every serial number and you write to none of them.
Email and text for an equipment dealership are worked off the install base: who owns which machine, at what hour meter, with what service history. GullySales pulls that list out of the DMS and the work orders, runs the quote chase and the parts reminders, and records consent before any text goes out.
What email marketing means
Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

Sales and marketing for heavy equipment and forklift dealers, the overview.
For heavy equipment and forklift dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The hour meter is the mailing list”
A 2,000 hour service, an undercarriage inspection and a set of wear parts are all predictable from the meter reading on the last work order.
“Texting a customer is a registered activity here”
A number used to text customers has to be registered, consent has to be recorded and stopping has to be honoured. Getting it wrong costs more than a missed quote.
“Quotes die in an inbox with nobody watching”
A wheel loader quote goes out with a finance option and the next contact is whenever he calls back. A dated sequence with a phone call beside it changes the outcome.
What we do
What we deliver for heavy equipment and forklift dealers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
The install base pulled into one usable list
Customer, machine, serial number, hour meter and last service date taken out of the DMS and the work orders into one list you can sort.
Result: You can write to the owners of one model on one afternoon.
Parts and service campaigns triggered by meter reading
Scheduled reminders for the services and wear items due at known hours, sent only to the owners we can identify.
Result: Service bays fill from your own customers rather than walk-in luck.
A dated quote chase across email and phone
Every machine quote logged with follow-up dates, prepared answers on hours, warranty, freight and finance, and a reason recorded when it ends.
Result: A quote still being weighed gets a second conversation.
Consent capture and number registration set up
Consent wording put on the forms and into the call script, records kept, and the A2P registration for your texting number completed.
Result: The texting programme can run without an argument later.
An aged inventory mailing to past enquirers
The units sitting longest offered to everybody who asked about that model in the past year, with fresh photographs and an honest condition note.
Result: Money tied up in the back row starts moving.
A season readiness mailing
Wear parts, undercarriage checks and attachment offers timed to when crews come back on in your region.
Result: Work orders are booked before the first breakdown call.
Orders traced to email and text each month
Parts orders, work orders and machine sales attributed to a mailing, reported against the baseline recorded at the start.
Result: The list gets treated as an asset.
How the result is measured
- Open rate
- Click rate
- Enquiries from email
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for

- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
