Commercial architects · Follow up systems

After the presentation comes a quiet stretch, and follow-up decides who is remembered.

A follow-up system for a commercial architect is the set of agreed next steps after a brief, a presentation or a fee proposal. GullySales writes the steps with your partners and sets reminders so that none depends on memory.

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 commercial architects

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

  • “Silence after a proposal is not a no”

    Developers decide slowly, with land, funding and approvals moving at once. A practice that goes quiet is replaced in mind by one that sends a useful note or a site photograph at the right moment.

  • “Follow-up needs a reason”

    Calling to ask for a decision annoys. Sending a relevant finished project, an approval update or an answer to a question the client raised gives a reason to be in touch that the client welcomes.

  • “Who follows up is left unsettled”

    The principal assumes the associate will call, and the associate assumes the principal will. Naming one owner per pursuit, with a date, removes the gap in which good work slips away.

What we do

What we deliver for commercial architects.

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

  1. Post-presentation message

    A short note sent after each presentation, summarising what was discussed, what was promised and what happens next.

    Result: The client has a written record of the meeting.

  2. Fee proposal follow-up

    An agreed set of steps after a fee proposal, including a call to answer questions and a reference offer.

    Result: The proposal is not left sitting unread.

  3. Value-add touchpoints

    A list of reasons to write between milestones, such as a completed building, a relevant approval change or an invitation.

    Result: Each message gives the client something.

  4. Ownership rules

    One named owner for every pursuit and every relationship, with a stand-in for absences.

    Result: A pursuit never waits on a single diary.

  5. Lost-pursuit review

    A polite call or note after a loss to ask what decided it, recorded for the next pitch.

    Result: Each loss leaves a lesson on file.

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
How often should we follow up?
Set it by the stage and by what the client has said, not by a fixed rule. We write the rhythm with your partners and record each contact so you can see the pattern for yourselves.
What if the client asks us to stop calling?
Stop, note it in the record and keep the relationship warm by other means, such as a finished project or an invitation. Respect for the client's wish is part of how the practice is judged.
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.
