Livestock feed suppliers · Follow up systems

A feed shop grows on the follow-up call that comes before the bags run out.

A follow-up system for a livestock feed supplier is the routine that reminds the shop to contact each farmer after a quote, a delivery and a missed reorder. GullySales works on who calls whom, when the reminder is raised, and what is written down afterwards.

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 livestock feed suppliers

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

  • “The reorder is won before the farmer runs out”

    A farmer with two days of feed left rings the nearest dealer. The shop that contacted the farmer a few days before, and asked if the usual lot should be sent, takes that order without a price discussion.

  • “A quote to a large farm dies in silence”

    A commercial unit takes quotes from several suppliers, then goes quiet. A dealer who does not ring back after sending the quote loses to one who does, even at a higher rate.

  • “Delivery is the best moment to ask”

    After a tempo unloads at the cowshed, the farmer is satisfied or annoyed. A short call or message that day catches a problem early and keeps a good customer from drifting.

  • “Dormant customers are cheaper to win back than new ones”

    A farmer who bought last year and stopped had a reason. A polite call that asks, listens and notes the answer shows the shop what it did wrong, and can bring the order back.

What we do

What we deliver for livestock feed suppliers.

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

  1. A reorder reminder list

    A list built from the customer sheet showing farmers due to order, with usual brand and quantity.

    Result: The list names whom to ring on each delivery route.

  2. A quote follow-up routine

    A rule for when and how to follow up after each quote to a farm or society, with a note of the reply.

    Result: Every quote has a recorded follow-up and outcome.

  3. A delivery check message

    A short message sent after delivery asking if the order arrived complete and on time.

    Result: Delivery problems are recorded the same day they arise.

  4. A dormant customer call list

    Farmers who have not ordered for a long gap, with what they used to buy.

    Result: Each call produces a note of the reason the farmer stopped.

  5. A responsibility chart

    Who owns each follow-up, so no reminder belongs to everyone and therefore to no one.

    Result: Every follow-up has a named person in the sheet.

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

These are the moments a feed shop should ring before the bags run out.

Reorder date approaching
A call a few days before a regular farmer would run out. The shop that rings first wins the order.
Quote sent to a large farm
Note the date and ask for a decision date. A silent quote to a commercial unit is dropped without a call.
Delivery completed
A short call or message the same day to ask if the bags are right. Catches problems before they become complaints.
Credit due
A courteous reminder with the amount and date. Written in the farmer's language.
Farmer stopped ordering
A call asking what changed, and a note of the answer. A dormant customer has already tested the shop.

Who it is for

This is written for these livestock feed suppliers.

  • Cattle feed dealers serving small dairy farmers
  • Poultry feed dealers for layer and broiler farms
  • Goat, sheep and pig feed suppliers
  • Mineral mixture and supplement traders
  • Fodder and silage suppliers
  • Wholesale feed distributors supplying village dealers
  • Suppliers to dairy cooperatives and milk societies
  • Feed traders who also sell animal healthcare products

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Nobody is named to make the reorder calls, so reminders would sit unread
  • You have not recorded regular customers' order dates, so the shop cannot tell who is due
  • Staff already spend the day at the counter, and a calling routine would take them off the queue

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 I follow up with a farmer?
It depends on how often that farmer orders. We set the reminder against each farmer's own reorder rhythm instead of a fixed rule for everybody.
What if a farmer is irritated by the calls?
Keep the calls useful and short, and note any request to stop. We draft messages that ask permission and respect the answer.
Can follow-up be automated?
Reminders can be, and WhatsApp messages can be scheduled. The call to a farmer who is late with payment is better made by you.
What if a farmer pays late after a reminder?
Ask what is blocking payment, such as a delayed milk payment, and agree a date together. Note it in the record. A conversation keeps the customer; a repeated sharp reminder sends the farmer to a rival who gives more time.
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.
