Handbag manufacturers · Follow up systems

Follow up the shortlist, the sample and the first lot until the reorder arrives.

A follow-up system for a handbag factory is the set of planned contacts after a catalogue is sent, a sample is shipped or a lot is delivered. GullySales works on who gets contacted, with what message, and the reminder that makes sure it is not forgotten.

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 handbag manufacturers

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

  • “The catalogue goes out and silence follows”

    A reseller who received the lookbook and said nothing may simply have been busy. Without a second contact that offers a different design or a lot suggestion, that quiet buyer is written off after one message.

  • “A sample is a promise to follow up”

    A sample bag sent to an online seller or brand is an investment. If nobody calls to ask what they thought of the lining and the handle, the sample sits on a desk and the buyer's attention moves elsewhere.

  • “The delivered lot is the start of the reorder”

    A shop owner who receives the lot is deciding what to reorder as soon as the bags are on the shelf. A contact at the right moment, asking what sold and what did not, brings the reorder in before a rival's catalogue does.

  • “Defects handled badly cost the buyer”

    A faulty zip in one lot can cost a reseller a customer. A prompt, fair response keeps the relationship. A silent reply or a dispute loses it, and the reseller tells other shop owners in the group.

What we do

What we deliver for handbag manufacturers.

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

  1. A follow-up plan for each stage

    Planned contacts after the lookbook, the quote, the sample and the delivery, each with a purpose and a message.

    Result: Every stage has a next step with an owner.

  2. Message templates in your voice

    Short WhatsApp messages for a nudge, a new design, a restock and a sell-through check.

    Result: Your team can send a considered message in seconds.

  3. Reminders tied to the buyer record

    Each follow-up set as a task against the buyer, so it appears on the day it is due.

    Result: Contacts happen because the system prompts, not memory.

  4. A sample tracking routine

    Samples logged with buyer, design and dispatch date, with a call planned for when they arrive.

    Result: No sample goes out without a follow-up.

  5. A defect and replacement script

    A clear sequence for reporting, checking and resolving a faulty piece, with a written reply to the reseller.

    Result: Buyers know how a problem is handled before it happens.

  6. A reorder prompt based on sell-through

    A message to buyers after delivery asking what sold, followed by a suggestion for the next lot.

    Result: The reorder conversation starts from the shelf, not from 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.

  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 frequently should we message a reseller?
Often enough to stay known and rarely enough to be welcome. Tie contacts to events such as a new design, a restock or a delivery, rather than a fixed rhythm of your own.
Should follow-ups be calls or messages?
Use messages for design updates and nudges, and a call for a sample, a quote or a defect. Buyers in this trade read chat promptly and welcome a call when it concerns their money.
Can follow-ups be automated?
Reminders and standard messages can be set up, so nothing is missed. The reply to a question should be a person. Automation helps the timing, and the relationship stays with your team.
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.
