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 healthcare franchise networks

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

  • “Patients already ask on WhatsApp”

    A patient sends a message asking the fee for a consultation and the doctor's timings. If the centre's number is a personal phone with no saved replies, the answer depends on who happens to look at it.

  • “Partner questions arrive as long threads”

    A clinician asking about equipment, staffing and terms sends several messages over days. Without a record outside the chat, the conversation lives on one person's phone and leaves with them.

  • “Health details do not belong in a broadcast”

    A group message carrying a condition, a test or a name exposes the person. Broadcasts to patients should carry only what is general, such as camp dates or changed timings, and go only to those who agreed.

  • “The platform has its own rules”

    WhatsApp sets terms on business messaging and on health content. Check the platform's current rules before any campaign, and keep to them as they change.

What we do

What we deliver for healthcare franchise networks.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business account for each centre

    Profiles with the centre's name, address, timings and a greeting, kept consistent with its Google profile.

    Result: Each centre has a business profile that matches its listing.

  2. Saved replies for the front desk

    Answers for fees, timings, doctors and directions, each ending with a booking prompt.

    Result: A reply set every receptionist uses.

  3. A consent capture step

    A line at booking asking whether the patient agrees to reminders on WhatsApp, recorded against the number.

    Result: A consent record for each number.

  4. A partner conversation handoff

    A rule for moving a clinician's WhatsApp query into the CRM and to the development manager.

    Result: Partner chats logged and owned.

  5. A broadcast rule

    What may go in a broadcast and what may not, with adviser review.

    Result: A short rule for anyone sending to a group.

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

The messages a clinic network sends on WhatsApp and the details it records.

Greeting with centre, timings and doctor days
Sent automatically to a first message, with the centre address matching the Google profile and a link to book.
Fee and timing replies
Saved answers for consultation fee ranges as the centre publishes them, doctor days and directions, each ending with a booking prompt.
Consent to reminders
A question at booking, recorded against the number with the date. No reminder goes to a number that has not said yes.
Camp date and venue broadcast
General details only, sent to people who agreed to hear of camps, with nothing about any person's health.
Partner question handed to the development manager
A clinician's thread copied into the CRM with the date, so it does not stay on one phone.
Away message with emergency notice
Sent outside hours, naming opening time and telling the sender to go to the nearest emergency service.

Who it is for

This is written for these healthcare franchise networks.

  • Multi-speciality polyclinic networks
  • Dental clinic franchise chains
  • Eye care and optical clinic networks
  • Physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic brands
  • Skin, hair and aesthetic clinic networks
  • Women's health and fertility centre networks
  • Dialysis, day-care and ambulatory centre brands
  • Ayurveda and wellness clinic networks

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Doctors reply from personal phones, and the network cannot see or keep any of the conversations.
  • No consent is recorded for patient numbers, and a broadcast would reach people who never agreed.
  • The centre desk cannot spare anyone to read messages, so questions would pile up unanswered.

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 reminders go out on WhatsApp?
Yes, to patients who agreed to receive them, and within the platform's current rules. We build the consent step and the wording with you.
Should doctors use their personal WhatsApp numbers?
We advise a business account in the centre's name. It keeps the replies consistent and the history with the centre when staff change.
Can reminders go out on WhatsApp?
Yes, to patients who agreed to receive them, and with only the centre, doctor and time in the text. A reminder sent to a number given for another purpose is marketing without permission. Check the platform's current rules and your adviser's guidance.
Should doctors use their personal WhatsApp numbers?
No. Use a centre business number so conversations belong to the centre and survive a change of doctor. Personal numbers mix private chats with patient messages and expose the doctor's number. Record the centre's use of patient messages in your data rule.
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.
