Building maintenance companies · Follow up systems

Write to the secretary after the survey, every time, before another contractor does.

A follow-up system for a building maintenance company is the set of fixed steps after an enquiry, a survey, a quote and a completed job. GullySales writes the messages, sets the reminders and names the person responsible, so a committee never has to chase you for a quote.

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 building maintenance companies

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

  • “The quote goes quiet after the survey”

    A contractor visits, promises a quote and then waits for the committee to call. In that gap another firm sends a neat scope sheet, and the committee compares the two.

  • “Committees meet rarely, so timing matters”

    A quote that misses the next meeting waits for the one after. Knowing the meeting date lets you send the pack when the secretary can use it.

  • “A closed complaint is a follow-up too”

    A repair done and not reported leaves the complaint list looking long. A short note to the secretary after closing each one keeps the record accurate.

  • “Lost quotes still carry information”

    A committee that chose another contractor may be unhappy in a year. A polite note asking to be considered at renewal keeps your name on file.

What we do

What we deliver for building maintenance companies.

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

  1. A follow-up sequence by stage

    Messages and call prompts for after enquiry, survey, quote, presentation and award.

    Result: Every stage has a defined next step.

  2. A quote pack template

    A scope sheet, exclusions, response arrangement and references in a consistent layout.

    Result: Each quote looks the same and is easy to forward.

  3. A meeting-date tracker

    A list of general body dates for each prospect, with a prompt to send the pack beforehand.

    Result: You know when each committee decides.

  4. Complaint closure notes

    A short message template sent to the secretary when a complaint is closed.

    Result: The committee hears each closure from you.

  5. A lost-quote and renewal note

    A courteous message to committees that went elsewhere and to clients nearing renewal.

    Result: Each lost quote has a scheduled reminder date.

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.

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

    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.

  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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing 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 follow up systems work runs

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How often should we follow up?
Follow the committee's own timetable, not a fixed rhythm. Ask the secretary when the decision will be taken and write to them before then.
Will repeated messages annoy a committee?
Not if each one gives them something to use, such as a scope note or a closure report. A message that only asks for an answer is the one that annoys.
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 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.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
