Travel insurance agencies · WhatsApp marketing

Take the passport details, send the quote and deliver the policy in one thread.

WhatsApp marketing for a travel insurance agency means using one organised thread to quote, collect details and share the policy, and to stay in touch with travellers who agreed to hear from you. GullySales sets up the business account, the replies and the consent records.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 travel insurance agencies

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

  • “The traveller already uses WhatsApp”

    Families send passport photos, ask for the policy PDF and forward the quote to the parent who pays, all on WhatsApp. An agent who works there removes a step the competitor still has.

  • “Broadcast lists need consent”

    Messaging past travellers about the next season is useful only to those who agreed to it. Record consent at the time of the sale and check the platform's current rules before sending anything in bulk.

  • “A catalogue answers the first question”

    Travellers ask which destinations you cover and what the plans are. A WhatsApp Business catalogue and saved replies answer that without a call and leave your staff free for the quotes.

  • “Documents in chat need a clean-up”

    Passport copies sitting in a chat history are a risk. Move them to the record once the policy is issued, and clear the thread of what is no longer needed.

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 business account set-up

    A WhatsApp Business profile with your services, hours, catalogue and greeting message.

    Result: A traveller sees an organised profile on the first message.

  2. Saved replies for quotes and documents

    Saved replies for the usual questions, the document checklist and the quote layout.

    Result: Staff send the same clear message every time.

  3. A quote-to-policy thread routine

    A set order for the thread: questions, quote, payment, documents, policy PDF and claim guide.

    Result: The thread shows every step in sequence.

  4. A consent record

    A simple way to note when a traveller agreed to receive messages about future trips.

    Result: You can show who agreed and when.

  5. A broadcast plan for past travellers

    Messages timed to travel seasons and sent only to those who agreed.

    Result: Each broadcast goes only to people on the consent list.

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.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing 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

    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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

Is a WhatsApp group useful for partners?
A group with visa consultants can work for referral updates, if every member agreed to join. Keep traveller details out of the group and share them one to one.
Can we share the policy PDF on WhatsApp?
Yes, if your insurer allows it. Confirm the document is correct before sending and keep a copy in your record.
Should we use a chatbot?
A bot can ask the first questions and collect trip details. Keep a person on any question about cover or claims, and tell the traveller when they are talking to a bot.
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.
