HMC machining companies · WhatsApp marketing
Use WhatsApp to send a drawing query, a photo or a delay notice, not a broadcast.
WhatsApp for an HMC shop is where a buyer's engineer sends a drawing question and a plant manager asks for a photograph. GullySales sets up a business number, saved replies and rules for what may be shared, so the chat supports the account instead of leaking it.
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 HMC machining companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Engineers already use it for quick queries”
A design engineer prefers a message with a photo of a bore over a long email. Buyers in Indian plants move small questions through chat. If your shop answers late or from a personal number, the buyer notices.
“Drawings and confidential files need rules”
A customer's drawing sent over a personal chat can breach the customer's agreement. Decide which files go on email or a shared drive and which photographs may go on chat, and write it down for your team.
“Broadcasts to plants read as noise”
A sourcing head who receives a mass message about your machines ignores it. Use WhatsApp for people who know you and have agreed to it, and keep the first approach to a new plant on email or a call.
“A shared number outlives one person”
If the sales engineer who holds the buyer's chat leaves, the history leaves too. A business number with a named owner, and a record of key messages in the account file, keeps the context with the shop.
What we do
What we deliver for HMC machining companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Business number set-up
A WhatsApp Business profile with your company name, address, hours and a link to the capability sheet.
Result: A buyer sees a company profile, not a personal number.
Saved replies
Short replies for common requests such as a capability sheet, a visit invitation and a delay notice.
Result: Common requests are answered with the same clear wording.
File-sharing rules
A one-page rule on what goes by chat, what goes by email and what needs customer permission.
Result: Your team knows which files may be sent on WhatsApp.
Consent and contact list
A list of buyers who have agreed to receive messages from you, with the date and the reason.
Result: Every number on the list has a recorded agreement.
Chat-to-CRM habit
A routine to copy key decisions and promises from chat into the account record.
Result: A promise made on chat appears in the account record.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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

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.
