Travel insurance agencies · Follow up systems

Close the quote that went quiet before the traveller buys elsewhere.

A follow-up system for a travel insurance agency is a routine that keeps open quotes moving until a policy is issued or the traveller says no. GullySales writes the messages and the rules for when each is sent, so no quote is dropped.

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 travel insurance agencies

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

  • “A quiet quote is not a lost quote”

    A traveller who goes silent after the quote is waiting for a parent's payment or the visa slot. A polite check that asks what is pending gets a reply that silence never does.

  • “The wrong follow-up sounds like pressure”

    Repeated messages about a deadline push the buyer to the next agent. A follow-up that offers one useful thing, such as the checklist wording or the documents list, stays welcome.

  • “After the sale, the follow-up changes”

    Once the policy is issued, the right message is the claim guide and the helpline, not another offer. That message is the one a traveller remembers when something goes wrong.

  • “Return dates are a chance to ask”

    A short message after the return date asks whether the trip went well and invites a review. It also marks the traveller for the next trip, and the conversation stays alive.

What we do

What we deliver for travel insurance agencies.

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 for open quotes

    A short set of messages for a quote that has no reply, each adding something useful rather than repeating the price.

    Result: Each open quote has its next message scheduled.

  2. A document-chase message

    A clear message that lists the passport and trip details still needed to issue the policy.

    Result: The missing items are named in the message.

  3. A post-policy message

    A message sent when the policy is issued, with the PDF, the helpline and what to do if something happens.

    Result: Every issued policy is followed by the same message.

  4. A return-date check-in

    A short message after the return that asks for feedback and a review.

    Result: The message goes out on the recorded return date.

  5. A stop rule

    A rule that ends follow-up when the traveller says no or buys elsewhere.

    Result: Nobody is messaged after saying no.

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

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 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.

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.

How many times should we follow up?
Set a limit and stop when the traveller declines. Repeated messages drive away the people who would return next season.
Can we automate follow-up messages?
Yes, for reminders and documents. Use WhatsApp Business tools within the platform's current rules, and keep a person for any question about cover.
What if the traveller says they will buy at the airport?
Explain, without pressure, that the policy needs to be issued before departure and that your office can issue it the same evening. Leave the decision with the traveller.
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.
