Skill development NGOs · WhatsApp marketing

Answer the family on the app they already use, with a single number and one clear reply.

WhatsApp marketing for a skilling NGO means using the business number for enquiries, batch dates, reminders and placement updates. GullySales works on the profile, the quick replies and the record, so a message on the app ends up in the register.

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 skill development NGOs

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

  • “The first message is a question about money”

    A parent writes, is it free, and waits. A reply that gives the fee or the scholarship terms, the address and the next start date in one message holds the family's attention.

  • “A forwarded poster does the outreach”

    An Anganwadi worker or a school teacher forwards a short message to a group. If it carries the course, the date and the number, it works. If it carries only a picture, nobody can act.

  • “Voice notes are ordinary for a family that speaks more than it types”

    Some parents would rather to speak rather than type. A counsellor who can send and answer voice notes in the local language removes a barrier.

  • “A personal phone is not a business record”

    When a counsellor leaves with the phone, the conversations go too. A business number, a shared inbox and a rule to log each enquiry keep the history with the centre.

What we do

What we deliver for skill development NGOs.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile

    Name, address, hours, a short description of the courses and a catalogue of the trades taught.

    Result: A family sees what the centre teaches before they type.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved answers on fee, distance, documents needed and start date, in each language the centre uses.

    Result: A counsellor answers the usual questions from saved text.

  3. A forwardable message for local leaders

    One short text, ready to pass on, with the course, date and number.

    Result: Local workers can pass on a clear message.

  4. A log from chat to register

    A simple habit or tool to copy each enquiry into the register with source and next call.

    Result: Chats do not stay trapped on one phone.

  5. Opt-in and opt-out wording

    A clear line on what messages a family will receive and how to stop them.

    Result: Families know what they signed up for.

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

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 families who enquired last year?
Only if they agreed to hear from you, and only about things they asked about. Check the platform's current rules and send an easy way to stop messages.
Do we need the paid business API?
Not for a small centre. The WhatsApp Business app handles enquiries and quick replies. Consider the API when several counsellors share a number and need a common inbox.
Who should answer the number?
A named counsellor, ideally one who speaks the local language and, for a women's batch, a woman counsellor. Put the hours of reply on the profile.
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.
