Cold storage operators · Follow up systems

Make sure every rate asked and every past trader is followed up before the season starts.

A follow-up system for a cold store is the routine that returns to a trader after a rate is quoted and calls past customers before the harvest. GullySales sets up the list, the reminders and the wording so no booking depends on someone remembering.

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 cold storage operators

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

  • “A quoted rate goes quiet”

    A trader asks the rate for a chamber and hears nothing for days, then books elsewhere. The quote was fine. The gap after it lost the booking, because nobody asked whether space or the schedule suited them.

  • “Last season's traders drift to the next store”

    A returning trader does not announce they are shopping around. By the time they ring other stores, a competitor who called them in advance has the space and the loyalty.

  • “Year-round contracts need patient chasing”

    A food brand evaluating storage takes several meetings across a long decision. Without a record of who was met and what was promised, the thread breaks when the person handling it is busy.

  • “Peak season buries the small enquiry”

    During loading rush, the phone is busy and written messages wait. An enquiry that came in on a Sunday evening for space next month is the one most easily forgotten.

What we do

What we deliver for cold storage operators.

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

  1. A follow-up list tied to every quote

    A list showing each rate given, the date, the buyer and the next call due.

    Result: No quote leaves your office without a next step on the list.

  2. A pre-season call plan for returning customers

    A set of customers by crop, with a call script and a date before their usual booking.

    Result: Returning traders hear from you before they ring around.

  3. Message wording for each stage

    Short messages for after a rate, after a visit, after a lapse and before the season, in your voice.

    Result: The team sends a clear message without drafting it each time.

  4. An owner for each open enquiry

    A named person for every enquiry, with a rule for who picks up when they are on the loading floor.

    Result: No enquiry sits without an owner during the rush.

  5. A lost-booking note

    A short record of why a trader did not book, such as rate, space or timing.

    Result: You can see where bookings leak across a season.

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.

Tell us what you need
Is this just reminders?
It is reminders plus the list, the owners and the wording. A reminder alone says to call; the system tells the person whom to call, what was said last and what to ask.
Will it work with our existing register?
Yes. If you hold bookings in a register or spreadsheet, we start from it. We move to a customer record tool only when the register stops serving you.
Who does the follow-up calls?
Your team does, because the buyer knows them. We design the routine and the wording, and where you ask us to, we draft the messages for your approval.
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.
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.
