Facility management companies · Follow up systems

Chase the bid before you submit it, because afterwards you may not be allowed to.

Follow-up in facility management is the chasing that happens around a tender: the pre-bid query, the site visit that was offered and never booked, the renewal date nobody diarised. GullySales writes the schedule, the reason for each contact and the rule that closes an account off.

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 facility management companies

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

  • “Once the bid is in, the rules change”

    Many procurement processes bar contact during evaluation, and a call at the wrong moment can disqualify you. The chasing belongs at the pre-bid stage, which is exactly when most companies go quiet.

  • “A follow-up needs a reason, not a reminder”

    A new licence, a site added in the same sector, an audit result worth reading. Admin heads delete just following up and keep a document that helps them write their own note.

  • “The best follow-up is aimed at a tender you lost”

    The winner is on a term and the client is now living with the decision. A campus that chose somebody else two years ago is a live prospect with a date already on it.

What we do

What we deliver for facility management companies.

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

  1. A pre-bid contact schedule

    What to ask and when, between the notice appearing and the submission deadline, including the questions that reveal how the evaluation will be scored.

    Result: You use the window while contact is still permitted.

  2. Reasons to make contact, written in advance

    A short library of genuine reasons: a new certification, a comparable site added, an audit score, a change in labour compliance worth flagging.

    Result: Nobody on your team has to invent a pretext to ring.

  3. The site visit booked rather than offered

    A standing offer with named dates, the reference site prepared and the supervisor briefed, chased until a date sits in the diary.

    Result: An offer to visit becomes an actual walkthrough.

  4. Renewal notice windows diarised on your own contracts

    Every contract's notice date entered as a task with an owner and worked backwards from, rather than remembered in the last fortnight.

    Result: You open the renewal conversation before procurement opens a tender.

  5. A lost-bid revisit list

    Every tender you lost, with the winner and the contract term recorded, brought back onto the working list as the end date approaches.

    Result: A loss turns into a dated opportunity instead of a closed file.

  6. A stop rule for accounts that never move

    How many cycles a site can go without progress before it comes off the active list, and what gets written down when it does.

    Result: Your team spends the week on sites that can actually be won.

How the result is measured

  • Follow-up completion rate
  • Average number of follow-ups before close
  • Enquiries closed after repeat follow-up

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Follow-up routine for this trade

This is what the bid team and the account manager do next at each stage of a tender.

Pre-bid query unanswered
The bid manager emails the procurement officer named in the tender and records the reply. If there is no answer, ask the tender portal contact how queries are handled.
Site visit offered, not booked
Propose two dates for the walk-through in a single message to the admin head. Write the date and the person you will meet on the tender sheet.
Proposal submitted, no word
Check the tender portal for status first. Then ask procurement whether clarifications or a presentation are needed, and record the answer and who gave it.
Technical evaluation cleared
Prepare for the commercial stage and note who holds the decision. Ask whether the client wants a manpower deployment sheet or sample attendance records.
Contract won, mobilisation pending
Ask the client's facility head what documents and police verification the staff need. Note the date they will provide access.
Client's contract nearing its end
Look at the end date on your own contract register and request a review meeting well ahead of expiry. Write the date it was requested.

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 follow up systems work runs

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  • 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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Is it acceptable to call procurement after we submit?
That depends on the tender conditions, and some forbid it outright. Read the document each time, because the rules differ between clients and change. Where contact is barred, put the effort into the pre-bid query window instead.
How do we follow up without irritating an admin head?
Give him something he can use. A compliance document, an audit result, or a note on how a comparable site solved the same problem. A message with nothing in it is what stops the next one being read.
A tender is lost. Do we call the client at all?
Yes, if the process allows. Ask procurement politely for the reason in general terms, such as price or technical score, and thank them. Write what you hear, and add the account to a revisit list with the date their contract is likely to end.
Who should own follow-up, the bid team or the operations manager?
The bid team owns it until the contract is signed, then the operations manager owns the account. Hand over the full record, including the names of the decision-makers and what was promised in the bid. Write the handover on the account sheet.
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.
