Corporate event organisers · Follow up systems

Chase the quote with all three people who hold it, not just the one who called.

A follow-up system for a corporate event organiser is the routine that moves a quote through the briefer, finance and the signatory, and brings a client back for the next event. GullySales works on who is chased, with what message and what is written down after each contact.

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 corporate event organisers

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

  • “A quote is read by three people at different speeds”

    The HR manager forwards it to finance, finance raises queries, and the managing director signs late. Following up only with the first person leaves the quote stuck at the second without anyone telling you.

  • “Silence after a quote is not a no”

    Corporate decisions wait on approvals, calendars and other quotes. Without a follow-up, you cannot tell a lost deal from a pending one, and you lose both by guessing.

  • “Lost quotes carry information that is never collected”

    When a quote is lost to price, date or concept, the reason is known only if somebody asks. The same loss repeats until the question is put and the answer recorded.

  • “The best follow-up happens after the event”

    A call after the event, asking what worked and what to change, is the one that prepares the next briefing. Organisers who skip it are forgotten when the annual day returns.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate event organisers.

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

  1. A follow-up plan for each open quote

    For every quote, who holds it, who must still approve, the next contact and what it will say.

    Result: Each open quote has a named next step.

  2. Messages for each stage

    Short notes for after a plan is sent, after a site visit, when a quote has gone quiet and when it is lost.

    Result: A message ready for every stage.

  3. A lost-quote question

    One courteous question asked of every client who declines, with the answer recorded by reason.

    Result: A list of reasons attached to each lost quote.

  4. A post-event feedback call

    A call script and a short form for after the event, covering what worked, what to change and the next event month.

    Result: Each event file holds the client's feedback.

  5. A reminder before the usual event month

    A prompt to contact the client ahead of its habitual event month, with notes from the last feedback call.

    Result: A list of clients to contact before their next event.

  6. Escalation to the signatory

    A way for the owner to step in when a quote is stuck at the final approval, with a reason to call and not a push.

    Result: A rule for when the owner joins a stalled quote.

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 capture or send

Follow up each quote with the right message for the right reader.

Quote sent to the briefer
A short note that names the plan's key choices and asks who else will read it, so you learn the finance and sign-off desks.
Quote opened by finance
A message to the finance reviewer offering the cost lines in a sheet they can compare with other vendors.
Quote silent after the review
A call to the briefer that asks what the managing director said, not whether they have decided.
Quote lost to another organiser
A two-line note asking what decided it. Record the answer against the event type and the competitor's route.
Event delivered
A feedback call from the owner, with a record of what the client wants changed next year and the month they plan it.

Who it is for

This is written for these corporate event organisers.

  • Organisers of annual days, town halls and employee engagement events
  • Product launch and dealer meet specialists for manufacturers and consumer brands
  • Offsite and incentive trip organisers for sales teams
  • Corporate gifting and conference-support companies that run events
  • Organisers for IT and BPO companies with large employee bases
  • Organisers focused on pharma, insurance and banking meets
  • Boutique agencies that run a few brand events a year
  • Organisers that manage events on behalf of an advertising or PR agency

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your quotes go out without a named reader, so a follow-up would have no one to address
  • You are not able to answer questions on the plan when the client replies, and a chase would only invite them
  • You have not agreed with the team who contacts finance and who contacts the signatory

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 often should we chase a quote?
Follow the client's own decision rhythm, which you learn by asking at the start who approves and when they meet. A set cadence is not the answer; asking about the approval step is.
Is it rude to call finance directly?
Not when the briefer has introduced them or agreed. Ask the briefer early whether finance has questions you can answer, and offer to join a call.
What do we do with quotes that are lost?
Keep them. Note the reason, the competitor if known and the event month. A lost annual day this year may return next year, and the record tells you whom to approach and how.
Who should follow up when the quote went through an agency?
The agency account manager, because they hold the client relationship. Ask them at the quote stage how they want you to handle follow-up. Writing to the end client without leave can cost you the agency's trust and the next brief.
Who should follow up when the quote went through an agency?
The agency account manager, because they hold the client relationship. Ask them at the quote stage how they want you to handle follow-up. Writing to the end client without leave can cost you the agency's trust and the next brief.
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.
