Home service franchise networks · Follow up systems

A booking nobody confirms becomes a booking for someone else.

A follow-up system for a home service network is the set of messages and calls that confirm a booking, chase a franchise candidate and bring a customer back for the next service. GullySales works on writing the rules and wiring them to your tools.

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 home service franchise networks

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

  • “The customer waits with no word”

    A resident booked a plumber and hears nothing back. They book a second brand. A simple holding message naming the next step keeps them with you while the franchisee is found.

  • “A missed call is a lost job”

    The franchisee is under a sink and misses the call. Without a rule that passes the booking on after a set silence, the customer's patience becomes the only timer.

  • “The candidate goes cold after the first call”

    A technician who asked about a territory gets one call and then nothing. A follow-up with the territory status, the support terms and a next step keeps the conversation alive.

  • “Repeat work depends on memory”

    Annual pest treatment and the pre-summer AC service are due on a known schedule. Nobody remembers for hundreds of customers, so a rule must.

What we do

What we deliver for home service franchise networks.

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

  1. Booking confirmation messages

    A message on booking, one on assignment with the technician's name and ID, and one on completion with a review link.

    Result: The customer is told at each step.

  2. Missed-booking rule

    If a franchisee does not respond, the booking moves to the named fallback, and the customer is told.

    Result: No booking sits without an owner.

  3. Candidate follow-up path

    A series of calls and messages after enquiry, with the territory status and next step in each.

    Result: Every candidate has a next contact set.

  4. Repeat-work reminders

    Messages tied to job type and last service date, sent from the brand number with consent.

    Result: Each reminder names the service due.

  5. Escalation sheet

    Who is called when a customer complains about a visit, with a reply to send meanwhile.

    Result: A complaint has a named owner within the brand.

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. 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.

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.

  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 this run without new software?
Part of it can, using WhatsApp Business and a shared sheet. As volume grows a CRM does the work more reliably. We start with what you have.
How many follow-ups is too many?
Stop when the customer or candidate replies or declines. Keep reminders relevant to the job and respect opt-outs, as messaging rules differ by platform, so check the current rules.
What do we say to a customer who is kept waiting?
Say that the booking is received, name the next step and give the brand number. An honest holding message costs less than a lost job.
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.
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.
