Answer investor questions on the app they already use, and keep brand details in order.

WhatsApp marketing for a franchise development firm is the use of the app to take investor enquiries, send brand details and keep conversations going until a decision. GullySales plans the numbers, the saved replies and the consent rules, and asks you to check the platform's current rules.

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 franchise development companies

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

  • “Investors ask for the investment figure first”

    First messages ask what it costs to join. A saved reply that gives the brand-approved figure, asks for city and budget, and offers a call keeps the conversation moving.

  • “Brand brochures forwarded from chat to chat get stale”

    A brochure passed between phones carries old figures and no version date. The firm should send only the current approved document from one place.

  • “Personal numbers mix up brands”

    When each team member uses a personal number for a different brand, a candidate gets messages from several people and the firm loses the history. A business number with named owners keeps the thread.

  • “Broadcasting to a list without consent loses trust”

    Adding people to a group or list because they once enquired irritates them and can get the number blocked. Send to people who agreed to hear about new brands, and let them leave easily.

What we do

What we deliver for franchise development companies.

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

  1. A business WhatsApp setup

    A business account with a profile, a short description and saved replies for the common first questions.

    Result: A candidate message gets a prompt, consistent first reply from a named person.

  2. Brand detail messages

    A set of approved messages and documents for each brand, with the date each was confirmed.

    Result: The team sends the current version only.

  3. Qualifying questions in chat

    A short list of questions on city, budget and property asked in the conversation.

    Result: The team can sort serious candidates from browsers in the chat.

  4. Consent and opt-out routine

    A record of what each person agreed to receive and a simple way to stop messages.

    Result: Nobody is messaged for something they did not ask for.

  5. Chat-to-CRM handoff

    A step that moves each conversation's key facts into the candidate's record.

    Result: The history is not lost if a team member leaves.

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 send new-brand announcements to everyone who enquired?
Only to those who agreed to hear about new brands. Others should be asked first. Check the platform's current rules on business messages.
Who should answer on the firm's number?
A named person who knows the brands and can say when something is not yet confirmed. Give candidates a way to reach that person for a call.
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.
