Supply chain technology companies · Follow up systems

Keep a stalled pilot moving without nagging the buyer.

A follow-up system for a supply chain software company is the set of reminders, messages and owners that carry a deal between demo, pilot and contract. GullySales writes the follow-ups around each stage so that every contact adds something the buyer can use.

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 supply chain technology companies

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

  • “After the demo the deal waits on others”

    The logistics head liked the demo but needs IT to confirm the integration and finance to see a quote. A message that only asks if they decided adds nothing. One that sends the integration note helps.

  • “Pilots stall for reasons outside your product”

    Driver phones are not ready, data is not exported, or the customer's IT team is busy. A follow-up that names the exact missing item gets an answer. A general check-in does not.

  • “Silence after a quote needs a different message”

    A buyer who goes quiet after a proposal may be comparing vendors or waiting for budget. Ask which, and offer a reference call or a revised scope rather than another reminder.

  • “Old enquiries still hold buyers”

    A distributor who asked a year ago may now have a bigger fleet or a failed spreadsheet. A planned revisit with something new, such as a fresh integration, brings some back.

What we do

What we deliver for supply chain technology companies.

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

  1. Stage-wise follow-up scripts

    Messages for after demo, during pilot, after quote and after a lost deal, each carrying a useful item.

    Result: Every follow-up has a reason beyond asking for news.

  2. Task and owner rules

    A rule that every deal has a next step, a date and a named person on your side.

    Result: No deal sits without a next action.

  3. Blocker checklist

    A list of common pilot blockers, such as data export, device access and user training, with who owns each.

    Result: The stalled item is named on the record.

  4. Reactivation sequence

    A plan to revisit past enquiries and lost deals with new information.

    Result: Past contacts get a relevant reason to talk again.

  5. Handover note template

    A summary for the implementation team covering scope, promises made and open questions.

    Result: Nothing promised in sales is lost at implementation.

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.

How many follow-ups are too many?
Count by usefulness, not number. If each message gives the buyer something to forward or decide on, it is welcome. If it only asks for an update, the buyer notices and stops replying.
Should follow-up go through WhatsApp or email?
Use the channel the buyer used with you. Email suits proposals and attachments. WhatsApp suits short confirmations with a known contact. Check that the buyer is comfortable with chat before you move a deal there.
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.
