Waste management and recycling companies · WhatsApp marketing

Tell the society about the pickup before the residents' group asks.

WhatsApp marketing for a waste company means using one business number to take pickup requests, send schedule changes and answer a committee's questions. GullySales sets up the profile, the messages and the opt-in record, so clients hear from you before they complain.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

For waste management and recycling companies

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

  • “Drivers handle clients on their own phones”

    Pickup details sit in the driver's personal chats, and when he leaves, the client list goes with him.

  • “Clients hear about delays from the residents' group”

    A vehicle breaks down, nobody informs the society, and the first message comes from an angry resident.

  • “Messages are sent to people who never asked”

    Residents are added to a broadcast list without agreeing, and some report the number.

What we do

What we deliver for waste management and recycling companies.

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

  1. A business profile with a request flow

    A business number with the company name, service areas and a short menu: request a pickup, ask for a proposal, report a missed pickup.

    Result: Every request has a route and an owner.

  2. A schedule and delay message routine

    A message to the committee contact when a pickup will be late, and a short notice of holiday schedules.

    Result: The client hears from you before the group does.

  3. An opt-in record

    A sheet that notes who agreed to hear from you, when and how, and a clear way to stop messages.

    Result: You message only the people who asked.

  4. A segregation reminder series

    A few short messages and pictures that teach what goes into which bin, sent to opted-in residents and staff.

    Result: Segregation improves without a lecture.

  5. A complaint and photograph route

    A way for a society to send a photograph of a missed pickup, and a reply with the fix and the time.

    Result: A complaint ends with a fix on the record.

  6. Staff hand-off rules

    One business number, a roster of who answers and a simple way to pass a chat on, so no client relation lives on one phone.

    Result: The service does not depend on a single person.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What must be in place first

What a waste company needs before it sends a WhatsApp message to societies and offices.

Opt-in record for each contact
Note the name, the site, the number, the date and how they agreed. Committee contacts are fine to message about service. Do not add residents without their consent.
A WhatsApp Business profile
Use a company number, not a driver's phone, with the name, service areas and hours filled in, and a greeting that says how to request a pickup.
Message templates
If you use the Business API, templates must be approved. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing before you plan volume or budget.
A way to stop
Tell recipients how to stop messages and honour it at once. Keep service messages, such as a late pickup, separate from promotions.
A human reply path
Name who answers during working hours and who covers on holidays. An alert with no one to answer follow-up questions makes things worse.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is a broadcast list enough or do we need the Business API?
A broadcast list is enough while you serve a few dozen sites. Consider the API for automated alerts, shared access for several staff or large volumes, and check WhatsApp's current terms first.
Should we create a WhatsApp group with the society's residents?
Usually not. Let the association run its own group and give them one contact. A group you manage becomes a complaint channel and exposes numbers, so use it only if the committee asks.
Can drivers use their own numbers to talk to clients?
Avoid it. Use the company number for client messages and give the driver a work phone or access through a shared tool. The history belongs to the company.
Should we send photographs of the collected waste?
Only if the client asks and the photograph shows no person or private detail. A weight record or a pickup note does the same job and is easier to keep.
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.
