Reach dealers and growers where they already ask what to spray.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For crop protection product companies

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

  • “Dealers already run groups for farmers”

    A shop owner keeps a village group where growers send leaf photographs and ask what to spray. A company that supplies the dealer with accurate cards and answers the dealer's questions is quoted in that group, and one that does not is replaced by a rival's forward.

  • “A forwarded claim travels beyond your control”

    A card that says a product works on a pest goes into groups you cannot see. Wording that goes beyond the label creates a regulatory problem the moment it is forwarded, so every card is cleared before it is sent.

  • “Consent decides whether the list is useful”

    A list of numbers collected from sign-in sheets with an unclear purpose draws blocks and complaints. A grower who has agreed to receive crop alerts reads them, and the company can record that agreement.

  • “A photo sent for advice needs an answer from a person”

    A grower who sends a picture of a leaf wants to be told something. If the message goes to an unmonitored number, the grower asks the next shop. A named agronomist or representative has to own the replies.

What we do

What we deliver for crop protection product companies.

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

  1. An opt-in list by crop and district

    A register of dealers and growers who agreed to messages, with crop, district and language noted.

    Result: Each number on the list has a recorded agreement and a crop tag.

  2. Pest alert cards

    Short cards in the local language on spotting a pest or disease, with label reminders and the nearest stockist.

    Result: A set of cards, each cleared against the label before sending.

  3. A dealer broadcast list

    A separate list for dealers carrying training links, product sheets and field day invitations.

    Result: Dealers get trade information apart from the grower messages.

  4. Reply routing

    A rule naming who answers photographs and questions, and where a complaint is logged.

    Result: Every incoming message has an owner.

  5. Platform rules check

    A short note on the platform's current rules for business messages, reviewed before each campaign.

    Result: Campaigns are planned against the rules as they stand at the time.

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 to capture or send

A crop protection brand sends a few kinds of message and records consent for each.

Pest alert card for a crop and district
A picture of the pest with the crop stage to watch, sent to growers who opted in for that crop, with the label named.
Dealer stock notice
A message to dealers listing new stock and pack sizes, sent to the dealer list only.
Photo sent by a farmer
A reply routed to the agronomist, who identifies the problem and refers the farmer to the label and the dealer.
Field day invitation
A message giving the date, village and crop, sent to growers and dealers in that district who agreed to hear from the company.
Opt-in record
A line stored with each number showing the crop, the district and the date consent was given, with a way to stop messages.

Who it is for

This is written for these crop protection product companies.

  • Insecticide, fungicide and herbicide formulation companies
  • Bio-pesticide and bio-stimulant companies
  • Plant growth regulator and micronutrient suppliers
  • Generic agrochemical companies selling through distributors
  • Companies with their own brands and a regional dealer network
  • Companies supplying large growers, plantations and estates
  • Companies serving horticulture and vegetable growers
  • Exporters and importers of technical and formulations

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Numbers were collected with no agreement, so a message would go to people who did not ask for it.
  • No agronomist is available to answer photographs, and a farmer who sends one would wait while the pest spread.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing 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

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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
Can we message every farmer who attended a field day?
Only those who agreed to receive messages from you. We add a clear consent line to the sign-in sheet, so the list that follows is one you can use without complaints.
Should the message include a dose?
Only as stated on the registered label and cleared by your regulatory adviser. We point to the label and the stockist and keep the dose wording exactly as printed.
Can the chat give a dose to a farmer who asks?
Point the farmer to the label for the crop and pest and to the dealer, and let the agronomist answer questions beyond it. A dose given in a chat can differ from the label and can be forwarded without context. The chat is a route to the label, not a replacement.
How do we build the list without buying numbers?
Collect numbers at field days, at the dealer counter and through a click-to-chat link on crop pages, each with the grower's agreement and the crop noted. A bought list has no consent and no crop, so the messages reach people who do not grow what you sell.
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.
