Livestock technology companies · Follow up systems

Follow up the pilot, the first use and the quiet farm before they drift away.

A follow-up system for a livestock technology company is the set of calls, messages and visits that continue after a demo, through a pilot and into the first stretch of use. GullySales writes the rules for who contacts whom, in which language, and what gets recorded.

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 livestock technology companies

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

  • “A demo that nobody follows is wasted”

    The founder gives a good demo at a host farm, the visitors nod, and no one calls again because everyone assumes someone else will. A named person and a written next step turn a nod into a pilot.

  • “The first days of use decide adoption”

    A farmer who cannot log in or pair the collar on the second day does not ask for help. The follow-up has to come from the company, in the farmer's language, before the product sits in a drawer.

  • “A quiet farm is the one to call”

    A farm that stops opening the app has not necessarily failed; the worker may have changed, or the battery died. A rule that flags inactivity lets support call before the owner asks for the money back.

  • “A pilot needs a review meeting”

    When the agreed period ends, the scorecard has to be read with the owner, manager and vet. Without a fixed review, the pilot drifts into an argument about whether it worked.

What we do

What we deliver for livestock technology companies.

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

  1. A follow-up rule sheet

    Who contacts the farmer after a demo, after installation and after a gap in use, with the message for each step.

    Result: A sheet that tells staff what to do at every point.

  2. Messages in local languages

    Short voice notes, texts and printed reminders in the farmer's language for each stage.

    Result: Each stage has a message a farm worker can understand.

  3. An inactivity alert routine

    A rule for noticing that a farm has stopped using the product, and a call script for the reply.

    Result: Quiet farms are called before they cancel.

  4. A pilot review meeting plan

    An agenda, a scorecard and a decision note for the end of each pilot.

    Result: Every pilot ends with a written decision.

  5. A log of follow-ups

    A record of each contact and its outcome, held in the CRM.

    Result: You can see when each farm was last contacted and what was said.

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.

Who does the follow-up, sales or support?
Both have a part. Sales owns the demo and the pilot review; support owns installation and early use. We write the hand-offs so no farm falls between them.
Should follow-up be by phone or message?
Use the channel the farmer answers. A voice call or a WhatsApp voice note suits a farm worker better than an email. We ask each farm which they prefer.
Can follow-up be automated?
Reminders and logs can be. The call to a farmer whose collar failed should be a person. We automate the routine and keep people for the conversations.
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.
