Answer the founder's first message on the app they already have open.

WhatsApp marketing for a virtual CFO practice is the use of a business number to answer founders, referrers and past clients in the app they check all day. GullySales works on the profile, the message wording and the way each chat is recorded; check the platform's current rules before any broadcast.

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 virtual CFO services

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

  • “The first message is a question, not an enquiry”

    A founder sends a line asking whether you handle bank projections. A prompt answer with a sample report and a question about the company starts a conversation. A silence ends it.

  • “Referrers pass numbers, not pages”

    A chartered accountant or banker who recommends you will share a number or a contact card. A business profile with your name, a description and a clear first reply makes that introduction hold.

  • “Sharing reports needs care”

    Founders send drafts and figures over chat. Decide what you accept there, what goes through a shared folder and what stays out of the app, and tell the founder at the start.

  • “Broadcasts to past clients can backfire”

    A mass message that reads as a promotion is ignored or blocked. A single note to one former client, tied to a trigger in their business, reads as attention.

What we do

What we deliver for virtual CFO services.

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

  1. A business profile written for founders

    Name, description, hours and a catalogue-style list of what you do, in plain words.

    Result: A profile that tells a new contact what you take on.

  2. Reply wording for the common first messages

    Short replies for enquiries about bank projections, investor models and cash planning, each ending with a question.

    Result: A reply ready for each first message you receive.

  3. A rule for sharing documents

    A written note on what is sent over chat, what goes elsewhere and how a founder is told.

    Result: Founders know where their figures should go.

  4. Notes for past clients

    Personal messages to former clients, tied to a coming bank review or budget cycle, never sent as a mass broadcast.

    Result: Each note refers to something real in that business.

  5. A hand-off to the CRM

    Every chat that matters is entered with its source and trigger the same day.

    Result: No conversation lives only on a phone.

  6. A check of platform rules

    A point for your partner to confirm the platform's current rules and their own professional advertising guidance before any outreach.

    Result: Outreach is approved before it begins.

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.

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

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

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.

Tell us what you need
Can we message founders we have not spoken to?
Check the platform's current rules and your own professional advertising rules first. We recommend writing only to people who have asked, been introduced or are past clients.
Should we use a chatbot?
Not for this work. A founder in difficulty wants a person. We script replies for the partner to send, and keep the tone of a colleague.
Which number should the practice use?
A dedicated business number, kept apart from personal chats, so introductions and records stay in one place and can be handed to a colleague.
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.
