Moving companies · Follow up systems
Chase the quote that went quiet, because the customer is still deciding.
A follow-up system for a moving company is the set of messages and calls that go out after the estimate is sent, the survey is skipped or the deposit is not paid. GullySales writes the sequence, the owner for each step and the rule for when to stop.
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 moving companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Silence after an estimate means the customer is comparing”
They asked three companies and are holding three figures. The mover who calls again with the crew size, the date and what the price covers is remembered when the other two have gone quiet.
“A missed video survey is a lead walking away”
The customer agreed to show the flat on a phone camera, then a work meeting ran over. A same-day message offering another time brings back someone who still wants the move, and a missing one hands them to a rival.
“The deposit is where good intentions stall”
A signed estimate with no deposit is not a booked truck. Customers put it off while they weigh up a cheaper offer, so the next step has to be clear, simple to complete and followed up by a person.
“After the move, the follow-up is a different job”
A claim, a missing box or a rushed crew can wreck a profile. A call to ask how the unpacking went catches problems before they reach a review site, and the same call is the right moment to ask for a kind word.
What we do
What we deliver for moving companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written sequence for every stage that can stall
Messages for no reply to the estimate, a missed survey, an unpaid deposit and a move date approaching, each in your company's own voice.
Result: No stage depends on someone remembering to chase.
An owner and a stop rule for each step
A named person for each message and a clear point where chasing ends, so a customer who has booked elsewhere is not pestered.
Result: Customers are chased politely and then left alone.
Messages that restate the specifics
Each follow-up repeats the date, crew size and inclusions, so the customer can compare it with a rival's quote without digging through email.
Result: Your estimate is the easiest one to read.
A call script for the day before the move
A short checklist covering parking, lift booking and access, run as a call rather than a text.
Result: Fewer surprises meet the crew on loading day.
A post-move check-in and review ask
A call or message after unloading that asks how it went, resolves a problem privately and then invites a review.
Result: Complaints reach you before they reach the profile.
A winter reactivation list
Past customers, storage enquirers and cold quotes grouped for an off-season message about storage, packing or a spring slot.
Result: The quiet months start with people who already know you.
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.
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 follow up systems work runs
- 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
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
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 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.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
