Trade fair organisers · Follow up systems

Follow every meeting and every lapsed stall until it becomes a record you can use.

A follow-up system for a trade fair organiser is the set of calls, messages and reminders that carries each enquiry, meeting and registration to its next step. GullySales works on who is contacted, what is said and where the answer is recorded.

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 trade fair organisers

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

  • “Meetings that went well vanish at the exit”

    A buyer and a maker agreed to exchange samples, and then the fair ended. Without a call to each side that asks what happened, the organiser has neither an order to report nor a reason for either party to return next time.

  • “Registered buyers who do not confirm”

    A buyer who filled the form weeks ahead may still be undecided. A short reminder that names the makers on that buyer's schedule gives a reason to confirm that a generic message about the fair does not.

  • “Enquiries from participants sit unanswered”

    A manufacturer asks about stall terms on a Saturday and receives a reply after the weekend and a reminder from a rival fair. Who owns the enquiry and what they send next should be set before the enquiry arrives.

  • “Partner bodies get one circular and no check”

    A council sends the fair to its members and the organiser never learns whether any member registered. A tag on the registration link tells you which body's members came, and a call to the body's contact closes the loop.

What we do

What we deliver for trade fair organisers.

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

  1. A rule for every enquiry

    Who replies to a stall enquiry, what they send and where the response is logged, written on one page for the team.

    Result: No enquiry sits without a named owner.

  2. A post-meeting call to both sides

    A script that asks the buyer and the maker what was agreed and what is pending, with the answers entered in the meeting log.

    Result: Every meeting has an outcome note from both sides.

  3. Reminders for registered buyers

    A message that names the makers scheduled for that buyer and offers a change of slot.

    Result: A buyer sees whom they are due to meet.

  4. A lapsed participant campaign

    A call to units that did not return, with the reason noted and a fitting reply prepared.

    Result: A reason is on record for each unit and a plan for the next call.

  5. A report back to partner bodies

    A note to each body on the members registered through its circular, sent after the fair.

    Result: Every body sees what its circular produced.

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.

Tell us what you need
What if buyers and makers do not answer follow-up calls?
Try the other route, such as a message after a call, and note the attempts. Some will not share order details, but a record of the meetings held and the products discussed still supports next year's invitation.
Who should do the follow-up, sales or the floor team?
Sales should own the participant calls, while the floor team logs meetings at the table. Give each person a named list so that two people do not call the same unit and a third is left uncontacted.
How long should we keep following up?
Until the unit says yes, says no or asks to be contacted later. Note the answer and the date to return, so that a polite no is respected and a later yes is not lost.
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.
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.
