Charitable trusts · WhatsApp marketing
Use WhatsApp for what the trust's community already uses it for.
WhatsApp for a charitable trust means a trust number that answers enquiries, shares notices and sends updates to people who have agreed to receive them. GullySales sets up the number, the saved replies and the rules for who writes.
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 charitable trusts
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The trust's community already lives on WhatsApp”
Trustees, alumni, relatives and neighbours share news in family and community groups. A trust that has a clear number and a short welcome message meets them where they are, and a forwarded notice about a function travels further than a printed one.
“Personal numbers leave when the person does”
The clerk's own phone holds a decade of applicant chats. When the clerk moves on, the history goes too. A number in the trust's name, with two people able to open it, keeps the conversations with the institution.
“Consent comes before any broadcast”
A person who joined a group for a wedding does not expect appeals. Ask before adding anyone to a list, say what messages will come and let people leave easily. Check the platform's current rules for business use and your own adviser's view on donor contact.
“A message about money needs the trustees' approval”
Appeals, bank details and receipts sent on a chat are easily forwarded and misread. Fix the wording and the account details in advance, have the trustees sign them off and send only from the trust's number.
What we do
What we deliver for charitable trusts.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A trust WhatsApp number and profile
A business number with the trust's name, address, hours and a short description, opened by at least two people.
Result: The trust has one number that does not depend on a person.
Saved replies for common questions
Approved answers on eligibility, documents, hall dates and how to give, ready to send in one tap.
Result: The office sends the same approved answer every time.
Opt-in and opt-out wording
A plain invitation to receive notices, and a clear way to stop, recorded in the register.
Result: The register shows who agreed to receive what.
A notice format for functions and holidays
A short template for events, closures and anniversaries, checked for facts before sending.
Result: Notices follow one format and one approver.
Links from pages and listings
The website and Google listings point to the trust number with a prefilled greeting.
Result: A visitor can start a chat from any page of the trust.

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
Understand current WhatsApp use
We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.
- 2
Audit common questions
We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.
- 3
Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.
- 4
Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
