Knitting units · Follow up systems
Call back after the swatch lands, because that is where orders are won or lost.
A follow-up system for a knitting unit is the set of fixed steps after an enquiry, a swatch, a quotation and a trial lot, each with an owner and a date. GullySales designs the steps, the scripts and the reminders so no buyer goes quiet by accident.
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 knitting units
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The swatch arrives and nobody asks what the buyer thought”
A swatch card sits on a merchandiser's desk beside several others. The unit that calls to ask about hand, drape and GSM is the one remembered when the design is chosen.
“A quotation without a follow-up is a quotation lost”
Rates are compared by a purchase head within days of arriving. A short call to ask which part of the quote needs explaining moves the order further than a second email.
“The trial lot is the real audition”
The first lot is cut, stitched and washed in the buyer's factory. A call after that, asking what cut well and what did not, converts a trial into a repeat or reveals the fault in time to fix it.
“Warning of a delay earns more trust than silence”
When a dyeing slot slips, the buyer who hears from the unit first plans around it. The one who finds out on the delivery date remembers.
What we do
What we deliver for knitting units.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A step chart for each stage
What happens after enquiry, swatch, quotation, bulk sample and trial lot, and who does it.
Result: Every stage has a named person and a next action.
Call scripts in plain words
Short question lists for the swatch call and the trial-lot call.
Result: Staff ask the same useful questions each time.
Reminder routine
Dated prompts so a swatch sent today produces a call on the day chosen.
Result: Nothing depends on someone remembering.
A delay-notice habit
A simple message format for telling a buyer of a slipped date, with the new date and reason.
Result: Buyers hear first from you.
Lost-order notes
A line recorded each time a buyer goes quiet or declines, with the reason given.
Result: You can see which stage loses buyers.
How the result is measured
- Follow-up completion rate

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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 follow up systems work runs
- 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
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
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 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.
