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 chambers of commerce

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

  • “Circulars already travel by WhatsApp”

    Members forward the seminar notice among their own groups, and the office receives questions in personal chats. Without a business number, saved replies and a named owner, those questions sit in a clerk's phone until time allows.

  • “Groups grow until nobody reads”

    A group holding every member, guest and committee member turns into noise, and muting follows. Separate lists for exporters, the women's wing, the youth wing and hall hirers let each person hear only what concerns them.

  • “Consent belongs to the member”

    A number on the register is not agreement to receive promotions. Ask each member which topics they want, record the answer and honour a request to stop. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging before writing to a list.

What we do

What we deliver for chambers of commerce.

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

  1. Business number set-up

    Profile, hours, greeting and quick replies for membership, documents, hall hire and events.

    Result: A greeting and reply menu you can test by messaging the number.

  2. Interest-based lists

    Members sorted by the topics they asked to hear about.

    Result: A list for each topic with a record of consent.

  3. Message templates

    Notices for events, delegation seats, renewals and hall availability, written short with one action each.

    Result: A set of templates the office reuses.

  4. Registration by message

    A link in each notice to the sign-up form, tagged with its source.

    Result: A count of registrations arriving through WhatsApp.

  5. Handover rule

    Who picks up a chat for each product and where it is logged.

    Result: A rota the office can read.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can we message every member?
Only those who have agreed to receive messages from the chamber. Record consent when a member joins or renews, and offer a clear way to stop. Check the platform's current rules for business messages.
Should we use groups or broadcast lists?
Broadcast lists suit notices because replies arrive privately. Groups suit committees and wings that discuss among themselves. We match the format to the purpose and the size of the audience.
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.
