Third-party logistics companies: show a real physical business scene illustrating Client contracts and rate cards. Hold each client’s rates by service, lane, pallet, carton, trip or tonne, with validity dates and special terms, so every booking is priced from the contract it falls under.

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 third-party logistics companies

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

  • “Founders answer WhatsApp before they answer email”

    A brand owner on the road reads a short chat message the same hour and a long email the next week. A quote sent as a clean PDF with two lines of explanation gets seen.

  • “Chats hold decisions that never reach the file”

    A buyer agrees a site visit or asks for a revised rate on a chat, and the detail stays on one person's phone. When that person is away, the account stalls for want of a record.

  • “Documents travel better with a plain note”

    A stock report sample, a rate structure sheet or an onboarding checklist arrives with a line saying what to look at. A bare attachment is easy to ignore.

  • “Unasked messages cost trust”

    Sending promotions to numbers that never asked reads as spam and harms the name. Contact people who have enquired or agreed, and check the platform's current rules on business messaging.

What we do

What we deliver for third-party logistics companies.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile

    A business profile with name, address, hours and a short description of what you handle for which client type.

    Result: A founder who searches for you finds a clear profile.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Saved answers for volumes needed, how a visit is booked and how inventory differences are handled.

    Result: Your team answers common questions in the same words.

  3. A document pack ready to send

    A rate structure sheet, sample stock report and onboarding checklist, prepared in forms that read well on a phone.

    Result: A buyer receives documents they can open and read.

  4. A chat-to-CRM routine

    A habit of copying the decision or request from each chat into the sales record the same day.

    Result: No agreement lives only on one phone.

  5. Permission and opt-out wording

    Simple wording for asking a contact whether they are happy to receive updates, and a way to stop them.

    Result: You message only people who agreed.

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 send

WhatsApp messages that move a 3PL quote along.

Quote cover note
A short message sent with the quote document, stating the volumes assumed and asking one question about the brand's peak. The founder replies to the chat.
Site visit confirmation
The address, a landmark, the name of the person who will meet them and the documents to carry, sent the day before.
Document pack
Licences, insurance details and a sample stock report sent as files with a plain line on what each is for.
Trial order updates
A message to the founder confirming the first orders packed and dispatched, with photographs that show no client labels.
Opt-out line
A closing line in the first message that invites the buyer to say if they prefer email.

Who it is for

This is written for these third-party logistics companies.

  • Shared-user multi-client warehouses
  • D2C and e-commerce brand fulfilment specialists
  • FMCG and food brand distribution operators
  • Consumer durables, electronics and appliance handlers
  • Pharma and healthcare distribution operators
  • Regional operators serving a state or a cluster of cities
  • Operators offering transport management along with storage
  • Asset-light operators that run client warehouses and vehicles through partners

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The business number is on a personal phone and nobody else can answer.
  • You have no consent from brands to message them, only a list from an event.
  • You want to share rates or stock details in a group that includes other clients.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Where this fits

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can we send bulk messages to brands?
Only to people who have enquired or agreed, and within the platform's current rules. A cold broadcast to a purchased list harms your name more than it helps.
Who should hold the business number?
A number that belongs to the company, with access shared by the sales team. A number on one person's phone leaves with that person.
Can we keep client chats separate from sales chats?
Yes, and you should. Sales conversations belong with sales, while a live client's operations chat belongs with the account team. Mixed chats expose client details to prospects. Use separate numbers or labels, and check the platform's current rules on business accounts and groups.
What should never go in a WhatsApp message to a buyer?
Another client's name, volumes or stock details, and any claim you cannot back with a document. Chats are forwarded, so write each message as if the founder's competitor might read it. Keep detailed rates and contracts in a formal document attached to the chat.
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.
