Handyman and home maintenance services · WhatsApp marketing

Make WhatsApp the place where a repair is described, quoted and booked.

WhatsApp marketing for a handyman business means using WhatsApp Business to take a photograph of the fault, share a written quote and confirm the visit, and to message past customers who agreed to hear from you. GullySales builds the profile, the saved replies and the opt-in record.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For handyman and home maintenance services

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

  • “The team uses personal numbers”

    Each technician's phone holds the customer's messages. When he leaves, the history leaves with him.

  • “A broadcast goes to everyone in the phonebook”

    Messages sent to people who never agreed arrive as spam, and the number is reported or blocked.

  • “Quotes are given in a voice note”

    The customer cannot show a voice note to the wife or the landlord, and nobody can later check what was agreed.

What we do

What we deliver for handyman and home maintenance services.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile

    The profile with business name, hours, areas served, a catalogue of jobs and a clear greeting.

    Result: A customer sees a real business when they first message.

  2. Saved replies for the common questions

    Replies for the area, the visit slot, the photo request and the written quote, in the languages customers use.

    Result: Every enquiry gets a plain, consistent answer.

  3. An opt-in record

    A record of who agreed to hear from you, when and for what, with a way to stop.

    Result: You message only people who agreed.

  4. Message templates for visit reminders and follow-ups

    Approved templates for the visit confirmation, the technician's name and number, and the follow-up after the job.

    Result: The customer knows who is coming and when.

  5. A shared inbox with named owners

    A set-up where more than one person can reply, with the owner of each chat clear.

    Result: Messages survive a change of staff.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

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

What must be in place first

Before a single message is sent, a repair business needs a few things set up, and each protects the number and the customer.

A record of agreement to hear from you
Save the date and how the customer agreed: a tick on the visit form, a message, a form on the site. Without it, do not message them beyond the job they asked for.
A business profile and number
Use a number only the business owns, with the name, hours and areas filled in. Move customers off the technicians' personal phones.
Approved message templates
For messages you start, WhatsApp requires approved templates. Write visit confirmations and follow-ups as templates, and check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing.
Who pays for the messages
WhatsApp charges for some kinds of business-started messages. Check the current pricing before planning a campaign, and decide who in the firm sets the budget.
An opt-out in every message
Add a line to reply STOP, and respect it the same day. A customer who cannot leave a list reports the number.
A human reply path
Every automated message should lead to a person. Name who answers, in what hours, and what happens to a message sent at night.

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 whatsapp marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

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.

Tell us what you need
Should we use broadcast lists or the API?
Broadcast lists suit a small team that messages a few hundred past customers who agreed. The API, with templates, suits a firm that sends reminders at volume. Start with the business app and move when you need to.
Can technicians use their own WhatsApp for customers?
They can, but the chat belongs to the technician. Use the firm's number and a shared inbox so a customer's history stays when the technician leaves.
Is a WhatsApp group with a society allowed?
Only if the group's admin allows business posts, and only after you introduce yourself. Join as a member, answer questions, and do not blast offers.
What goes in a catalogue for a repair business?
The jobs you do, with a photograph and a line each, such as tap replacement or door lock fitting. Leave prices off if they vary with the visit, and say the quote follows on a visit or a photograph.
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.
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.
