Intellectual property lawyers · Follow up systems

Answer the enquiry that came in while the partner was in a hearing.

A follow-up system for an intellectual property practice is the agreed set of replies, reminders and owners that makes sure an enquiry, a quotation or a renewal date is not forgotten. GullySales writes the replies in the firm's voice and sets who sends what.

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 intellectual property lawyers

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

  • “Hearings leave enquiries unanswered”

    A partner in court cannot reply to a founder who called about a name. If no one else owns the first response, the founder phones the next firm on the list.

  • “A quote with no follow-up goes quiet”

    A founder who asked about costs for a mark is comparing. A short note from the firm after the quote, asking what else they need to decide, can decide between an engagement and silence.

  • “The notice recipient needs a human reply”

    Someone holding a notice is anxious. An acknowledgement that the firm has the message and will call at a stated hour settles them while the matter is read.

  • “Renewals are follow-up too”

    A registration due for renewal is a client waiting to be reminded. The same system that chases enquiries should chase renewal dates and log the reply.

What we do

What we deliver for intellectual property lawyers.

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

  1. A first-response script

    A short acknowledgement for calls, forms and emails that says who will respond and by when the firm itself commits to.

    Result: Every enquiry gets a first human reply from a named person.

  2. Quote follow-up notes

    A set of messages to send after an estimate, each asking a specific question.

    Result: A quote is never left without a next step.

  3. A renewal reminder sequence

    A series of reminders to clients with registrations falling due, with the reply recorded.

    Result: Each registration shows who was told and what they said.

  4. A cover rota

    A simple rota naming who answers when the partner is in court.

    Result: The enquiry line has a name against every day.

  5. An enquiry ageing view

    A list of enquiries that have had no reply, sorted by how long they have waited.

    Result: The oldest unanswered enquiry is visible on the list.

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 reply to an enquiry?
On the day it arrives where the office can, and the reply should say when the real conversation will happen. GullySales sets up the acknowledgement; the firm decides the time it can honour.
Can follow-up be automated?
The acknowledgement and renewal reminders can be. A reply to a legal question needs a person. We automate the routine and leave the judgement to your team.
What if the enquirer does not reply?
Send one or two polite follow-ups and then close the enquiry with a reason. An open list of dead enquiries hides the live ones.
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.
