Government tender and B2G suppliers · WhatsApp marketing

Keep the store officer's WhatsApp for the order and the delivery, not the forwards.

WhatsApp marketing for a government supplier is using a business number to share data sheets and delivery updates with the officers and consultants who have asked for them. GullySales sets up the business profile, the opt-in record and the reply routine, so that messages stay useful and within WhatsApp's rules.

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 government tender and B2G suppliers

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

  • “Officers and bidders are in many groups”

    A store keeper's phone is full of supplier and bidder groups, and a broadcast with an offer image is muted at once.

  • “Personal numbers of staff hold the relationships”

    A sales executive's own number carries the chats with officers, and the history leaves when he does.

  • “Messages that look like pressure”

    Frequent messages to an officer asking about a tender result or a payment can read as pressure, which a department notices.

What we do

What we deliver for government tender and B2G suppliers.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile

    A verified business number with name, address, hours, a short description and a catalogue of products.

    Result: An officer sees a real supplier, not a stranger.

  2. An opt-in record

    A note of who agreed to receive messages, when and for what, with a simple opt-out word.

    Result: You contact only those who asked.

  3. Templates for delivery and document updates

    Set wording for confirmation of supply, delivery dispatch, invoice sent and data sheet shared.

    Result: Messages are brief and consistent.

  4. A shared inbox with named staff

    A rule on who replies on the business number and how chats are recorded in the CRM.

    Result: A relationship does not leave with a person.

  5. Chats counted against enquiries and orders

    Conversations that became a bid or an order, read against the baseline recorded before work starts.

    Result: You can see whether WhatsApp earns its place.

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 must be in place first

What a government supplier needs before using WhatsApp for business messages.

A business profile on a company number
Register a number in the company's name, with address, category and description. Do not run it on a staff member's personal number.
Opt-in from each contact
Record the date, the source and what the person agreed to receive, such as data sheets or delivery updates. Never add an officer to a broadcast list without asking.
Message templates for notices outside a chat
Business-started messages need approved templates. Keep them informational: dispatch details, document requests, catalogue links. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing.
Opt-out and a human reply path
State how to stop messages and honour it at once. Name who answers replies and during which hours, so a question from an officer is not left.
What not to send
No gifts, no festival forwards to officers, nothing that reads as an inducement. Keep messages to supply, documents and dates, and follow the department's own conduct rules.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we use broadcast lists or the API?
A broadcast list suits a small group who have saved your number. The API suits a larger list with templates and a shared inbox, but needs set-up and has its own rules and charges. Begin with the business app and move up if volume demands.
Can we join bidder groups on WhatsApp?
You may, but treat them as listening posts. Do not discuss rates or share information about a live tender, since that can look like collusion. Check your own advisers before taking part in a group about bids.
Our sales staff use their own numbers. Is that a problem?
Yes, for continuity and for control. Move officer conversations to the business number, with the staff member logged in, and save key chats to the CRM. When he leaves, the history stays with the firm.
Is a product catalogue on WhatsApp useful for government items?
For small standard items, yes, since an officer can forward it to his store. For bigger equipment, a PDF data sheet is better. Keep prices out of public catalogues unless the buyer has asked.
Can marketing help us win a tender that goes to the lowest bidder?
Not directly, because the lowest qualified rate wins. Marketing helps earlier: being known to the user department, shaping what the specification asks for and arriving with a complete file. It cannot change the rule.
Do you submit our bids for us?
No. Bids carry your signature, digital certificate and legal responsibility, so they must be filed by you or your authorised person. We organise the library and the follow-up, and your team checks every document.
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.
