Corporate lawyers · Follow up systems

Make sure no promoter's call, fee request or referral goes without a reply.

A follow-up system for a corporate law firm decides who replies to each enquiry, what is promised and when the next contact is due. GullySales writes that routine with the partners, and does not promise any win from it.

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 corporate lawyers

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

  • “The promoter compares by who replies”

    A founder with a live deal rings two or three firms. The first one to return the call with a clear next step is easier to choose than a firm that has better credentials but is silent.

  • “A fee note is a follow-up moment”

    After a proposal goes out, the founder weighs it against others. A short, polite check by the partner who pitched keeps the matter alive without pressure.

  • “Referrers need closing the loop”

    When a CA sends a client, the CA wants to know the call happened. A brief acknowledgement, kept clear of client detail, makes the next introduction more likely.

  • “Dead enquiries still need a decision”

    Some enquiries are not the firm's work. A courteous reply that points the caller elsewhere protects the firm's name with the person who recommended it.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate lawyers.

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

  1. Reply rule for new enquiries

    A written rule on who takes each type of call and what the first reply contains.

    Result: Every caller knows who will respond and for what.

  2. Proposal follow-up steps

    A set of agreed steps for after a fee note is sent, with a partner assigned to each.

    Result: Every proposal has a dated follow-up.

  3. Referrer acknowledgement note

    A short standard note to the introducer confirming that contact was made, without matter detail.

    Result: Introducers hear back on every referral.

  4. Polite decline template

    A courteous reply for work outside the firm's practice, naming the kind of firm the caller might approach.

    Result: Out-of-scope callers receive a considered reply.

  5. Overdue list for partners

    A list of enquiries with a missed next step, shown at the partners' meeting.

    Result: Overdue items are visible to every partner.

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
Can we automate replies?
Acknowledgements can be automatic, but a promoter with a live deal wants a person. We set up the reminder, not the reply, so a partner or associate writes it.
When does a follow-up become pressure?
That is a matter of judgement for the partner. The system records each attempt and the response, so the partner decides when a pitched matter is closed. Advertising rules differ by profession and by state, so check with your own bar council or adviser before anything goes out.
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.
