Hatcheries · Follow up systems
Call the farmer about the next batch while the current one is still in the shed.
A follow-up system for a hatchery is a routine of calls and messages tied to each farmer's batch cycle, from placement to the next booking. GullySales builds the routine and the reminders so no farmer is left to the dealer alone.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 hatcheries
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The batch cycle is the follow-up clock”
A broiler farmer's batch runs to a lift date that the hatchery can estimate from the placement. A call timed to that date finds the farmer planning the next batch, not already booked elsewhere.
“The first week decides the next order”
A short check on the farm after placement tells the farmer someone cares, and brings problems to light while they can still be handled. Silence is read as indifference.
“Enquiries that did not book still count”
A farmer who asked for a rate and said later has not gone away. A dated note and a call at the date given brings that farmer back into the register.
“Dealers need follow-up too”
A dealer who has gone quiet is waiting for someone to ask. A visit or a call, with the dealer kit refreshed, finds out whether there is a problem or only a lull.
What we do
What we deliver for hatcheries.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A batch cycle reminder list
A list that shows each farmer's expected lift date and the day to call about the next placement.
Result: The next batch is raised before the shed is empty.
A first week check call
A short script for ringing a farmer after placement and logging any worry.
Result: Early problems reach the office while they can be acted on.
An enquiry follow-up routine
Dated notes and a call for every enquiry that did not book.
Result: No enquiry is dropped without a reason noted.
A dealer contact plan
A schedule of visits and calls for active and dormant dealers, with a note after each.
Result: Dormant dealers are contacted and the outcome recorded.
WhatsApp reminder templates
Short messages for next batch, booking confirmation and van dispatch, in the farmer's language.
Result: The message is ready; the staff only fill in the date.
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.

How it works
How the follow up systems 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
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
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
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 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.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 2, qualification. 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.
