Audit firms · Follow up systems

Follow up each proposal until the company decides, then thank the firm that was chosen.

A follow-up system for an audit firm is a set of reminders and drafted messages tied to each proposal, so a decision is chased at the right moment and in the right tone. GullySales builds it around appointment dates, with each message approved by you before it goes.

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 audit firms

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

  • “Silence after a proposal is the usual ending”

    A fee quote and team profile go out and nothing comes back. The firm assumes it lost. The board may simply not have met yet. A note timed to the meeting date gets an answer where a random chaser does not.

  • “A chaser that sounds like selling damages the standing”

    Professional bodies discourage pressure, and a CFO notices it too. A follow-up should offer to answer a query on scope or team, then stop. The tone matters as much as the timing.

  • “The tax audit season needs a different rhythm”

    Close to the due date, the enquirer wants a document list and a clear next step, not a reminder of the firm's credentials. The follow-up there is a checklist and a named person, sent the same day.

  • “A lost proposal is still a relationship”

    A company that picked another firm may change auditors again, or may refer you elsewhere. A polite note of thanks and a record of the reason given keeps the door open without chasing.

What we do

What we deliver for audit firms.

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

  1. Proposal follow-up schedule

    A reminder set against each proposal's expected appointment date, with the person to contact and the point to raise.

    Result: Every open proposal has a next step with a date.

  2. Drafted messages in your voice

    Short WhatsApp and email drafts for a query, a thank you and a gentle check, ready for a partner to approve.

    Result: A partner approves wording before it goes.

  3. Due-date enquiry reply

    A same-day reply with a document checklist and a named contact, for tax audit and other seasonal enquiries.

    Result: No due-date enquiry waits unanswered.

  4. Lost and won review

    A note recorded for each decision, giving the reason the company stated and what the firm might change.

    Result: Patterns in lost proposals become visible.

  5. Renewal prompt for current clients

    A reminder ahead of each client's reappointment so a partner speaks to the client before the paperwork starts.

    Result: Reappointment is a conversation, not an assumption.

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.

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 last month's enquiries, we measure how long each waited for a first reply and how many follow-ups it 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

    Set up templates, tasks and ownership

    Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.

  4. 4

    Track and adjust every month

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept.

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
When should we follow up?
Follow the decision date, not a fixed rhythm. One message before the meeting to offer help and one after to ask the outcome is polite and enough. We set the timing per proposal and you approve every message.
What do we say to a company that chose someone else?
Thank them, wish them well and ask whether they would share what decided it. Do not argue the fee. Record the answer. If the company changes auditor again, you are remembered as courteous.
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.
