Chemical traders · WhatsApp marketing
Send stock news only to buyers who asked for it, and answer the rest in person.
WhatsApp marketing for a chemical trader covers three things: the business number where rates and documents travel, a catalogue of the chemicals you hold and opt-in broadcasts of stock news. GullySales sets up the account, the message templates and the consent record.
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 chemical traders
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Rates and documents already travel on WhatsApp”
A purchase officer asks for the rate, the data sheet and the vehicle details on chat. A business number with a catalogue, a greeting and saved replies makes that exchange consistent whoever is on duty.
“A salesman's own phone cannot be handed over”
When rates are sent from a personal number, the chat history leaves with the salesman. A shared business number keeps the conversations with the trader and lets a colleague pick up where the last person stopped.
“Broadcasts need consent and relevance”
A message about a solvent sent to a dye house wastes a contact and risks a block or a report. Send stock news only to buyers who agreed and who have bought that chemical, and record when they agreed.
“Chat is the wrong place for handling advice”
A buyer may ask on chat how to open or store a drum. An improvised reply can be wrong, so the standard answer points to the producer's data sheet and the buyer's own safety officer.
What we do
What we deliver for chemical traders.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A business account and catalogue
A business number with a profile, working hours, a greeting and a catalogue listing your chemicals with grade and pack.
Result: A new contact who messages the number sees the products and hours.
Saved replies for common requests
Ready answers for rate requests, stock questions, document requests and vehicle details, edited by the person on duty before sending.
Result: The same question gets the same correct answer from any staff member.
An opt-in capture and record
A way to ask buyers for permission to send stock news, and a list noting who agreed and when.
Result: The consent list shows each buyer and the date they agreed.
Broadcast lists by chemical and sector
Lists split by what each buyer has bought, so a message about one chemical reaches only those who use it.
Result: A stock message goes only to buyers who have bought that chemical.
A document sending folder
The data sheets and certificates organised so they can be attached to a chat in a few taps.
Result: The person on duty finds the right document without searching.
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.
What to capture or send
The WhatsApp messages a chemical trader sends and the ones that stay in conversation.
- Opt-in from a buyer
- Record the person, the chemicals they want news of, the date and how they agreed. Without it a broadcast is an uninvited message.
- Stock arrived for a named chemical
- Send to buyers who asked about that chemical, with grade and pack. Leave rates for a one-to-one reply.
- Data sheet and certificate on request
- Reply with the producer's file, named by chemical and grade. Keep a folder so the team sends the same current version.
- Shortage or allocation note
- Tell buyers on the list early when a chemical is short and when you expect stock, so they can plan their own run.
- Delivery confirmation
- Send the lorry details and the expected arrival to the person who receives, so the stores gate is ready.
Who it is for
This is written for these chemical traders.
- Traders in industrial solvents and thinners for paint and coating units
- Acid and alkali traders supplying textile processors, tanneries and metal finishers
- Dye and pigment traders serving processing houses and printing units
- Water treatment and boiler chemical suppliers to hotels, hospitals and factories
- Food-grade and pharma-grade chemical traders working with batch records
- Polymer, resin and plastic raw material dealers
- Laboratory and analytical chemical suppliers to colleges and testing labs
- Importers who sell by the drum from port-side or bonded storage
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Your list is a collection of numbers gathered over years with no record of consent, so a broadcast would reach people who never asked.
- One salesman's personal phone holds every conversation, and until the account is shared the history leaves with that person.
- You plan to send handling or safety guidance by chat, which belongs on the producer's sheet and with a qualified officer.
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
Read the chats you already have
We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.
- 2
Sort the list and the permission
Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.
- 3
Choose the app or the API
One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.
- 4
Write the replies and the plan
The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.
- 5
Connect the record and test
Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.
- 6
Read the unanswered questions
A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

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.
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.
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.
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.
