CNC milling companies · WhatsApp marketing

Make WhatsApp the direct route for a model, a photograph and a quote.

WhatsApp marketing for a milling shop is a business number set up to receive models, answer quote questions and send photographs of parts. GullySales works on the profile, the saved replies and the broadcast lists you use with buyers who agreed to hear from you.

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 CNC milling companies

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

  • “The founder's first message is a STEP file on WhatsApp”

    Buyers send the model to the number they find first. If that number is the owner's personal phone, files mix with family messages and replies are late. A business number with a clear greeting keeps files in one place.

  • “A reply that asks for missing details starts the quote”

    Material, quantity, finish, revision and date are needed before pricing. A saved reply that asks for each one means the estimator does not retype the same list for every enquiry.

  • “A catalogue of finished parts answers before the call”

    The business profile can hold photographs of parts and the services you offer. A buyer who sees housings and plates there knows at once whether the shop suits.

  • “Broadcasts to the wrong people damage the number”

    Sending a message to every contact, including those who never agreed, risks complaints. A broadcast list of buyers who opted in, with a useful message, keeps the number in good standing.

What we do

What we deliver for CNC milling companies.

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

  1. Business profile setup

    Name, address, hours, a description of the work, and the catalogue with photographs of finished parts.

    Result: The profile tells a new buyer what you cut and where you are.

  2. Saved replies

    Ready messages for the greeting, the list of details needed, the quote cover note and the dispatch notice.

    Result: Each common message is a saved reply.

  3. Labels for stages

    A colour or label for each chat: new file, quoted, awaiting drawing, ordered, repeat.

    Result: Every chat carries a visible stage.

  4. Opt-in broadcast list

    A list of buyers who agreed to hear about standing rates or new capacity, and a few message ideas for them.

    Result: You can show who agreed to receive messages.

  5. Click-to-chat links

    A link and a QR code on your website, cards and profile that open a chat with the intake greeting.

    Result: A buyer can start a chat from any page or card.

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.

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 whatsapp marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is it fine to send a quote on WhatsApp?
Buyers send and read quotes there. Keep a copy in your quote record with the revision noted, and send a formal quote by email where the buyer's purchase team needs one.
Can we message past buyers?
Message those who have agreed to hear from you, and say how to stop. Check the platform's current rules on business messages before any broadcast.
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Not for a small shop. The business app is enough to begin with. If volume grows and several people share the number, we can look at the API with you.
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.
