HVAC companies · Follow up systems

Chase the installation quote and the AMC that is about to lapse.

A follow-up system for an HVAC company covers the quote that went quiet after a site visit, and the maintenance contract nobody reminded the customer about. GullySales sets the number of attempts, who makes them, and the point at which an enquiry is closed.

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 HVAC companies

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

  • “The quote after the site visit is the one that goes cold”

    A technician measures the flat, a number goes out on WhatsApp, and nothing happens. The customer is waiting on a second brand's quote, and whoever calls back first gets the job.

  • “An AMC reminder is a follow-up, not a mailer”

    A contract ending in March needs a named person calling in February with the renewal amount ready. A generic renewal message sent to a list does almost nothing.

  • “In April the follow-up that matters is the missed call”

    During the pre-summer weeks more revenue is lost to calls that rang out than to anything a campaign could fix. A returned call within the hour is the whole system.

What we do

What we deliver for HVAC companies.

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

  1. A missed-call return rule for peak weeks

    Who calls back, within what time, and where the number is written down, with a second person covering when the phone is engaged.

    Result: A breakdown caller is reached before they book somebody else.

  2. A quote-chase sequence after every site visit

    A call, a message restating the scope, and a final contact asking plainly whether the price or the timing was the problem.

    Result: You learn why the quote lost instead of assuming.

  3. An AMC renewal call list ahead of each contract end

    Every contract listed by end date with the renewal amount, the last service done and the person answerable for calling.

    Result: Renewals are asked for before the customer notices the cover has gone.

  4. A pre-summer service reminder to every past customer

    A reminder that goes out before the first hot week to everyone you have ever serviced, offering a check and a slot.

    Result: The phone rings before the rush rather than during it.

  5. A stop rule written down

    Three attempts on a residential quote and more on a commercial proposal, then the enquiry is closed with a reason recorded.

    Result: Nobody is chased forever and nobody is dropped after one try.

  6. A monsoon reactivation round for lapsed customers

    Customers with no visit in over a year contacted in the quiet months with a duct clean or a service check.

    Result: Technicians have work between the seasons.

  7. Completion and conversion set against the baseline

    How many quotes were chased to the end of the sequence, how many contracts renewed, and what converted, compared with the baseline recorded before work started.

    Result: You can see whether the chasing is happening and whether it works.

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

Here is what the sales and service teams do next for each kind of silence.

Site visit done, quote sent
The engineer who surveyed rings with the load calculation in mind and asks whether the customer's electrician has confirmed the power supply. Write the tonnage and the answer.
Customer compares three contractors
Offer to explain the difference between the equipment brands and the installation scope in the quotes. Ask what the customer is comparing and note it.
Quote is waiting for the building to be ready
Ask what stage the ceiling or the shaft work is at and when the false ceiling goes in. Record the date the site will be ready.
AMC customer near renewal
Check the contract end date and send the visit report with the units serviced. Ask whether the site has added any equipment.
Customer asked for a breakdown repair
Send a technician to see the unit, then call the customer with the fault and the cost. Record the unit model and the service history.
Customer from a past installation
Check the installation date and message before the hot season about a service check. Write whether a visit was booked.

Who it is for

This is written for these HVAC companies.

  • Residential split AC installers
  • Commercial VRF and VRV contractors
  • Chiller plant and industrial cooling specialists
  • Cold storage and refrigeration contractors
  • Hospital and healthcare HVAC contractors
  • AMC-focused service companies

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You do not write down quotes, so a reminder would arrive for an enquiry nobody can recall.
  • Nobody owns the AMC register, and a reminder list would send a lapsed contract the wrong date.
  • You plan to chase a customer who said the quote is too high with the same message, which costs the goodwill you want for the repair.

How it works

How the follow up systems work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Measure today's reply time

    From your recent enquiries, we set the time each arrived against its first reply, using the call log, chats, form entries and portal panel. We also count the follow-ups each one 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

    Write the templates and first-call questions

    The first reply, the quote follow-up and the last attempt are written in your voice and loaded as quick replies. The first-call questions are agreed with your best salesperson.

  4. 4

    Set ownership, tasks and alerts

    Named owners, cover for leave and CRM or sheet tasks go live. App alerts, such as IndiaMART's, are switched on for the right phones.

  5. 5

    Track and adjust

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 2, qualification. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Our technicians follow up on their own quotes. Is that a problem?
It usually is, because a technician is up a ladder when the customer is free to talk. Give the chasing to whoever answers the phone, with the quote and the site notes in front of them. The technician keeps the relationship and loses the admin.
When should the AMC renewal reminder go out?
Well before the contract ends and before the heat arrives, so the customer renews while the unit is still working rather than after it fails. The exact timing comes from your own contract end dates, which we ask for in the first conversation.
What do we say to a customer who says the quote is too high?
Ask which line the customer is comparing. Often the cheaper quote has a smaller unit, thinner copper piping or no commissioning. Send a plain side-by-side of what each includes, and record the reply. Do not cut the price without changing the scope.
Who should track all quotes, sales or the service desk?
One person, usually the sales coordinator, holds the register of open quotes, and the engineers update it after each visit. Write the date, the customer and the next step. The service desk can add renewals, but the quote list should be in one place.
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.
