Metal ore mining companies · WhatsApp marketing

Send the grade sheet and the stock note where the purchase team already reads.

WhatsApp marketing for a metal ore mine is the use of WhatsApp to send grade sheets, stock notes and quick answers to plants and traders who already deal by phone. GullySales works on the broadcast list, the message layout and the reply routine, always with the buyer's consent.

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

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 metal ore mining companies

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

  • “Plants and traders already use it”

    A raw-material head or a logistics contact in India may take a sheet or a photo on WhatsApp more readily than by email. A mine that sends a clean grade sheet there meets the buyer where the day's work already happens.

  • “A stock note should be one document”

    A stock note on WhatsApp works when it carries the ore, grade, tonnes, loading point and contact in a fixed layout. Several loose messages with half the facts invite questions and mistakes.

  • “Consent and list hygiene matter”

    Add a plant to a broadcast list only when someone there has agreed to receive notes. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging, and keep a record of who asked to be added or removed.

  • “Replies need a named person”

    A buyer who replies to a stock note expects an answer from someone who knows the lot. A shared mine number that nobody owns loses the reply, so decide who watches it and where the answer is logged.

What we do

What we deliver for metal ore mining companies.

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

  1. Broadcast list set-up

    A list of plants and contacts who agreed to receive stock notes, grouped by ore and process.

    Result: You can see who is on the list and the ore each wants to hear about.

  2. Stock note layout

    A fixed message format with ore, grade, size, tonnes, loading point and contact.

    Result: Every note is complete without a follow-up question.

  3. Grade sheet as a shareable file

    The grade sheet prepared as a clear file that opens well on a phone.

    Result: A buyer can read the assay without zooming.

  4. Reply routine

    A rule for who watches the mine's number, who sends the reply and where it is logged.

    Result: Each reply is written into the lead record.

  5. Opt-in and opt-out record

    A simple log of who agreed to receive messages and who asked to stop.

    Result: The mine can show who was added and when.

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 on WhatsApp

The messages a mine sends and asks for on WhatsApp.

Grade sheet as one file
The assay, size band and loading point in a single PDF. Plants forward it to the lab without retyping.
Stock note for a lot
Quantity on the yard, grade and loading mode in one message, sent only to plants whose process fits. Keeps the list useful rather than noisy.
Sample dispatch message
Courier or vehicle details and the lab reference. The plant lab knows what to expect and who to ask.
Loading and weighment update
Vehicle number, loading time and documents attached. Helps the plant gate staff receive the load without a call.
Reply from the named contact
A first answer from a named person at the mine, with the next step stated. Plants read the person, not the number.

Who it is for

This is written for these metal ore mining companies.

  • Iron ore mines selling lumps, fines and pellet-grade ore
  • Manganese ore mines supplying ferroalloy and steel plants
  • Chromite mines supplying ferrochrome producers
  • Bauxite mines supplying alumina and aluminium plants
  • Copper, lead and zinc ore producers selling concentrate
  • Mine lessees selling through contracts or e-auctions
  • Beneficiation and washing plant operators at the mine
  • Captive mine owners with surplus ore to sell

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You plan to message every number you have picked up from directories, which breaks consent and risks the number being blocked.
  • Nobody is assigned to answer the number, so a plant that wrote would meet silence.
  • Your sale route forbids quoting a price or grade outside a formal process, so WhatsApp messages could conflict with it.

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 message plants we have never dealt with?
Be careful. Introduce the mine first by a method the contact expects, and add the number to a list only after they agree. Check the platform's current rules for business messages.
Do we need the business app or the API?
A small mine can start with the business app. Move to the API route only if the volume of messages calls for it, and we will say when that point comes.
Should prices go on WhatsApp?
Keep price talk between named people at the mine and the plant. Broadcast notes carry the grade and the lot.
A plant lab wants raw assay data. Should we send it on WhatsApp?
Send the summary sheet there and the full report by email. The lab files documents and needs a traceable copy, and chats are easy to lose. Name the report by lot number in both places so the plant lab can match them.
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.
