Mineral processing companies · Follow up systems

Ask for the test result, then ask for the next consignment, every time.

A follow-up system for a mineral processing company is the set of calls and messages that start after a sample leaves the plant and continue through the trial, the first order and the standing order. GullySales writes the steps, the wording and the reminders, and assigns each to a named person.

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 mineral processing companies

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

  • “The silence after a sample is where orders are lost”

    A bag leaves the plant with a certificate and nothing is heard for weeks. The buyer tested it, or did not, and the plant never learns which. A call fixed to the sample record turns the silence into an answer.

  • “A failed trial holds a lesson the plant can use”

    When a sample misses the buyer's limits, the figure that missed is worth more than the lost sale. Asking for it, and for what the buyer used instead, tells the lab whether to adjust or decline the grade.

  • “A standing order still needs a reason to be renewed”

    A regular buyer who hears nothing between consignments is open to a rival's visit. A message ahead of each dispatch with the lot figures keeps the plant present without asking for anything.

  • “Enquiries from listings go cold unless claimed”

    An enquiry from a marketplace sits in a shared inbox, and each person assumes another has replied. A rule that gives each enquiry to one named person is the simplest fix.

What we do

What we deliver for mineral processing 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 sequence per stage

    Planned contacts for enquiry, sample sent, trial result, first order and standing order.

    Result: Each stage has a next step and a person attached.

  2. Message and call wording

    Short scripts and templates that ask for the test result in the buyer's own terms.

    Result: The desk does not write each follow-up from scratch.

  3. Reminders in the CRM

    Due dates on every sample and open trial so overdue follow-ups are listed for the desk.

    Result: The list of overdue calls is visible each morning.

  4. A pre-dispatch lot note

    A message that goes to the buyer before a consignment with the lot's grade, packing and certificate.

    Result: The buyer holds the lot figures before the vehicle arrives.

  5. A lost-trial review

    A recorded reason and the buyer's figures for every sample that did not become an order.

    Result: The lab and sales desk see why trials fail, grade by grade.

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
How many times should we follow up a sample?
There is no fixed count. Ask for the result at a sensible point, again if the buyer asks for time, and stop when the buyer says no. We set the points with your desk based on the buyer's trial process.
Is a call better than a message?
For a technical result, a call or a voice note reaches the right person. A message works for confirming a lot or sending a certificate. Use both and record the outcome.
What if the buyer never replies?
Record it, try a different role at the same unit, and then close the enquiry with a note. A closed enquiry with a reason is more useful than an open one that nobody touches.
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.
