Courier companies · WhatsApp marketing
Answer the rate question on WhatsApp before another counter does.
WhatsApp marketing for a courier counter means using the business app to answer rate and packing questions, confirm pickups, share tracking and reach past senders with their consent. Senders in India ask on WhatsApp first and book with whoever replies with clarity. GullySales sets up the replies, the lists and the rules for staff.
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 courier companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A parent sends a photo of the parcel and asks if it can go”
The question arrives with a picture of pickle jars or a box of sweets. The counter that answers with the packing steps and the carrier's current rule gets the booking.
“The rate reply is typed afresh by each staff member”
One executive quotes by slab, another by guess. Senders compare messages across counters and notice the difference. A set of saved replies keeps your answers consistent and fast to send.
“Pickup coordination happens in staff personal chats”
Office clerks message the executive they know. When that person is away, the thread is unseen. The pickup moves to a shared business number that the whole counter can read.
“A broadcast to everyone becomes a block”
Sending a festival message to every number ever saved irritates sellers who want shipping updates and offices that want no promotion. Separate lists by sender type and send only what suits each.
What we do
What we deliver for courier companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp Business profile and catalogue
Counter name, address, hours, destinations handled and the services you offer, set up so a sender sees what you do before the first message.
Result: A new sender understands the counter from the profile alone.
Saved replies for rate, packing and customs questions
Short, agreed answers on weight slabs, packing food and documents, and what the carrier says is not allowed, with a link to the current list.
Result: Every staff member answers the same question the same way.
A pickup confirmation and tracking flow
Messages that confirm the pickup request, share the tracking number and ask for a review after delivery.
Result: Offices and sellers get proof without calling.
Consent-based lists by sender type
Separate lists for office accounts, sellers and festival senders, built from people who agreed to hear from you.
Result: Each group receives only messages that suit it.
Staff rules for a shared counter number
Who replies, how handover works, what is never sent and when a customer moves to a call.
Result: A message sent to the counter is always read by someone.
How the result is measured

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Understand current WhatsApp use
We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.
- 2
Audit common questions
We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.
- 3
Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.
- 4
Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.
- 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.
