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 InsurTech startups

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

  • “Your buyers already ask on WhatsApp”

    A rider or a parent prefers a chat to a form, and sends the question where they are comfortable. A reply arriving in the same thread, with the quote attached, feels like service rather than sales.

  • “Consent must be asked for, not assumed”

    A phone number from a quote form is not automatic permission for promotional messages. Capture an explicit opt-in with clear wording, record it, and offer a simple way to stop messages.

  • “Templates limit what can be sent”

    Business messaging platforms require approved templates for outbound messages, and their rules change. Draft templates early, keep insurance claims out of them, and check the platform's current rules before launch.

  • “A chatbot cannot give advice”

    An automated flow can collect details and answer set questions. Advice on which policy suits a family belongs to a licensed person, so the flow needs a clear point of hand-over.

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 our old quote list?
Only where those people agreed to hear from you in this way. Ask your compliance officer to review the consent you hold, and do not message anyone who has not agreed.
Should claims be handled on WhatsApp?
It can carry updates and document requests, but treat it with care for personal data. Decide with your compliance officer which details may travel in chat.
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.
