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 surface treatment companies

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

  • “Engineers send a photo before a drawing”

    A buyer with a part in hand photographs it and asks if you can treat it. A business profile with a catalogue of processes, and a reply that asks for alloy and size, turns that photo into a quote.

  • “Lot status lives in chat”

    Is the lot received, in the bath or ready to collect? Buyers ask these over chat all day. Set replies and a status note save the supervisor from repeating the same answer to every caller.

  • “Personal numbers hold the relationship”

    When the person who quotes leaves, the buyer chats vanish with the phone. A business account with shared access keeps the history with the shop and not with an individual.

  • “Broadcasts without consent harm trust”

    Messaging engineers who never agreed to hear from you reads as spam. Check the platform's current rules, and message only those who have contacted you or agreed to updates.

What we do

What we deliver for surface treatment companies.

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

  1. A business profile with a process catalogue

    The profile lists each process, the metals you treat and your region, with a greeting that asks for the details.

    Result: A first message that already asks for alloy and size.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Saved replies on tank size, alloys, thickness, colours, lot minimums and collection.

    Result: Staff answer routine questions from saved text.

  3. A lot status message

    A short template to tell a buyer a lot is received, in process or ready, sent by the supervisor.

    Result: Buyers stop calling to ask where the lot is.

  4. A consent list

    A record of buyers who have agreed to receive updates, kept apart from those who only enquired.

    Result: You message only people who agreed.

  5. Shared access for the team

    The account set up so more than one person can reply, with a rule on who answers what.

    Result: The history stays with the shop.

  6. A link from the website and the profile

    A button on process pages and the listing that opens a chat with the enquiry details prefilled.

    Result: A buyer moves from page to chat in one tap.

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.

Tell us what you need
Is WhatsApp suitable for B2B quotes?
Yes. Engineers and purchasers in India use it daily and prefer a photo and a reply to an email. Formal quotes can still follow as a document, sent over the same chat.
Can we send offers to all our contacts?
Only to those who agreed to receive them, and within the platform's current rules, which you should check. We build a consent list rather than a bulk contact sheet.
Do we need the paid interface?
Not at first. The free business app suits a small team. A paid interface is worth considering when several people reply and you need reports.
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.
