B2C app startups · Follow up systems

Reach the user at the moment they stall, with a message that finishes the job.

A follow-up system for a B2C app is the set of messages and triggers that reach a user after install, after an abandoned step and after silence. GullySales writes the sequences, sets the triggers with your team and checks that each message gives the user a reason to return.

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 B2C app startups

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

  • “The best moment to message is the stall”

    A user who added an item and left, or started a lesson and stopped, has told you exactly where they paused. A message at that point, about that thing, is far more useful than a general offer sent to everyone.

  • “Channels carry different weight”

    Push notifications are free but easy to mute. WhatsApp is on nearly every phone in India but needs consent and approved templates. SMS and email serve specific jobs. A follow-up system chooses the channel by the message, not by habit.

  • “Repeating the same message teaches users to ignore it”

    If a user receives the same reminder every time, they mute the app. Sequences need different angles: a reminder, a benefit, a help offer and a last note, each worded differently, and they must stop once the user acts.

  • “Support is a follow-up too”

    A user who reported a failed payment and heard nothing is lost to every later message. Closing the loop on complaints belongs in the same system, with the person in the team who owns it named.

What we do

What we deliver for B2C app startups.

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

  1. Trigger map

    A list of moments that start a message: install, first action, abandoned step, first purchase, silence and cancellation.

    Result: A map of when each message goes out.

  2. Written sequences

    Message sets for each trigger, each with its own angle, in the languages of your users.

    Result: Message sets ready to load into your tool.

  3. Channel rules

    A rule for which channel carries which message, the number of messages a user may receive and when the sequence stops.

    Result: Clear limits on the messages a user receives.

  4. Template drafts for WhatsApp

    Message templates written for approval on the WhatsApp Business platform, with placeholders for the user's name and action.

    Result: Templates ready to submit for approval.

  5. Complaint close-out routine

    Steps and wording for replying to failed payments, refunds and bugs, with an owner for each.

    Result: A route for every complaint to be answered.

  6. Sequence review

    A look at which messages are opened and acted on, with edits to the weakest ones.

    Result: A list of messages to keep, rewrite or remove.

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.

What to send and when

The stalls in an app journey, and the message that answers each.

Installed but did not verify the number
A push notification that names the one step left. The user has a phone in hand, so the message is short and links back to that screen.
Added to cart and left
A WhatsApp reminder, sent only to users who agreed, naming the item. It stops the moment the user buys.
Started a lesson and stopped
A message that resumes at the exact lesson, in the user's language. A general come-back note ignores the place where they paused.
Payment failed
A message that says what went wrong and offers another way to pay. Silence here loses the user for every later campaign.
Paid once and went quiet
A winback note naming what they bought and what is new. A discount alone teaches them to wait for the next one.
Asked to cancel the plan
A reply from a person who asks why and offers a pause. The record notes the reason and feeds product.

Who it is for

This is written for these B2C app startups.

  • Consumer finance and payments apps
  • Health, fitness and habit apps
  • Food, grocery and quick-delivery apps
  • Learning and exam-prep apps for students
  • Local services apps for plumbers, tutors, beauty or repairs
  • Gaming and entertainment apps
  • Social and community apps built around a language or a hobby
  • Utility apps for transport, bills or government services
  • Subscription apps with a free tier and a paid upgrade

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your app does not record where users stall, so a trigger would fire on a guess.
  • There is no stored consent for WhatsApp or SMS, and sending messages first would risk the number's standing.
  • Complaints already go unanswered, so reminders would reach people who are waiting on a fix.

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 your recent enquiries, we set the time each arrived against its first reply, using the call log, chats, form entries and portal panel. We also count the follow-ups each one 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

    Write the templates and first-call questions

    The first reply, the quote follow-up and the last attempt are written in your voice and loaded as quick replies. The first-call questions are agreed with your best salesperson.

  4. 4

    Set ownership, tasks and alerts

    Named owners, cover for leave and CRM or sheet tasks go live. App alerts, such as IndiaMART's, are switched on for the right phones.

  5. 5

    Track and adjust

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

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 messages is too many?
There is no fixed number. Watch mutes, opt-outs and uninstalls after each change. We set limits with you and review them against the response.
Do we need user consent for WhatsApp?
Yes. Messages to users need their permission, and the platform has its own rules on templates and contact. Check the platform's current rules and your own counsel on consent.
Who writes the messages?
We draft them in your voice and in the user's language, and your team approves them. A native speaker reviews regional language versions.
What if a user mutes push notifications?
Move the message to a channel they agreed to, such as WhatsApp, and stop repeating the push. A muted user cannot be reached by that channel, and sending more only risks an uninstall. Record the mute in the user record so the sequence respects it.
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.
