Electrical infrastructure contractors · WhatsApp marketing

Run project groups and quick replies on WhatsApp without losing the written record.

WhatsApp for an infrastructure contractor is the channel where site engineers, consultants and developers already exchange drawings, photographs and approvals. GullySales works on how that conversation is kept orderly and how its decisions reach the register.

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

For electrical infrastructure contractors

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

  • “Site talk already happens there”

    Project coordination between the contractor, the consultant and the developer's engineer runs through chat groups. Drawings, test photos and approvals pass through them daily. The business question is not whether to use WhatsApp but how to keep it from becoming the only record.

  • “Instructions given in chat are easy to lose”

    A consultant's approval of a cable route, sent as a voice note, is a decision with cost attached. If nobody copies it to the project file, a later dispute has nothing to point to. A habit of confirming in writing closes that gap.

  • “Bulk messages suit nobody here”

    A broadcast to a developer's whole list reads as spam in a trade built on personal trust. Short, individual messages after a call, such as a sent brochure or a meeting confirmation, are received well. Check the platform's current rules before any business messaging.

  • “A business number separates work from private life”

    Using a personal number for tenders mixes client messages with family chats and leaves with the employee. A company business number with a clear profile keeps continuity when staff change.

What we do

What we deliver for electrical infrastructure contractors.

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 the firm's basics

    Company description, office address and the job types handled, set up on a company number.

    Result: A profile a consultant can check before replying.

  2. Standard replies for common requests

    Ready wording for sending a capability document, confirming a visit and requesting a drawing.

    Result: Replies the team can send without rewriting each time.

  3. A project group protocol

    Rules for naming groups, who joins, which messages count as decisions and how decisions are copied to the file.

    Result: A one-page protocol each new project group follows.

  4. A chat-to-register habit

    A short step where any commitment, date or approval given in chat is entered in the CRM that day.

    Result: Chat decisions appear in the register with a date.

  5. A guide on what not to send

    A note listing the material that should travel by email or the document system only, such as priced offers.

    Result: A guide the team can refer to when unsure.

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 send

Use the chat for short, individual messages and keep decisions on file.

Capability document after a call
One short message with the profile attached, sent to the person who asked, never a broadcast to a developer's whole list.
Site visit confirmation
Date, place and the name of the engineer attending, so the consultant knows who will arrive and can arrange access.
Drawing or approval received
A written line confirming what was approved and by whom, copied into the project file that day so the decision survives.
Test photographs from site
Images the site engineer has checked for safety, sent to the consultant in the project group with the location noted.
Request for a missing document
A polite message naming the exact paper needed and the date it is wanted, which avoids a stalled approval.

Who it is for

This is written for these electrical infrastructure contractors.

  • HT and LT cabling and cable laying contractors
  • Substation and transformer erection contractors
  • Industrial park and township electrical infrastructure contractors
  • Earthing, lightning protection and panel installation contractors
  • Street lighting and campus distribution contractors
  • Contractors enlisted with DISCOMs for service connections
  • Electrical EPC contractors for factories and warehouses
  • Electrical contractors for metro, rail and institutional projects

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Staff use personal numbers for tenders, and the firm has no company number yet, so contact would leave with the employee.
  • No one copies chat approvals to the project file, so more messaging would add decisions that nobody can later prove.
  • You plan to send the same message to every developer on a list, which suits neither the trade nor the platform's current rules.

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.

Can we send our company profile to all developers on WhatsApp?
Send it to people who have agreed to hear from you, one message at a time. Mass sending to a list is poor practice in this trade, and the platform's own rules should be checked before any broadcast.
Is a WhatsApp approval enough for a design change?
It is evidence, not the record. Copy the message into the project file and ask the consultant to confirm in writing where the change affects cost or safety.
Is a voice note enough for a cable route approval?
No. A voice note is a decision with cost attached, and chat history can be lost or disputed. Ask the consultant to confirm in writing, then copy the confirmation into the project file the same day with the date and the name of the person who approved.
Should priced offers go through WhatsApp?
No. Send priced offers by email or through the document system, where they have a date and a record. Use the chat to say the offer has been sent. Check the platform's current rules before using it for any business messaging at scale.
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.
