Commercial architects · WhatsApp marketing

The projects head answers WhatsApp faster than email, so use it with care.

WhatsApp for a commercial architect is a working channel for clients, consultants and contractors, and a light route for sharing finished projects. GullySales works on how the practice uses it for enquiries and follow-up without turning it into spam.

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 commercial architects

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

  • “Decisions are made in WhatsApp groups”

    Developers and project teams run coordination in groups. A practice that answers there promptly, and keeps drawings and decisions in order, is judged on it before the contract is signed.

  • “Cold broadcast messages harm the name”

    A mass message about the practice to people who never asked for it looks careless. Messages should go to people who know you, with a purpose and a way to say stop.

  • “The chat is not the record”

    Promises made in a chat vanish in the scroll. Decisions that matter belong in the pursuit record, with the chat used to speed the conversation, not to hold the agreement.

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. Business account setup

    A WhatsApp Business profile with the practice name, description, address and website, kept separate from personal numbers.

    Result: Clients see a practice, not a private number.

  2. Enquiry reply routine

    A standard first response that asks for building type, site and stage, with a named person to follow up.

    Result: Each enquiry gets an informed answer.

  3. Project sharing messages

    Short messages that share a finished building or site photograph with a named contact, with the project name and one line of context.

    Result: Updates feel personal and relevant.

  4. Consent and opt-out practice

    A rule that only people who know the practice receive messages and anyone can ask to stop.

    Result: The list is permission-based.

  5. Chat-to-record habit

    A step where decisions made in a chat are logged in the pursuit record by the same day's end.

    Result: Nothing important lives only in a chat.

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 send updates to our whole client list?
Only to people who have agreed to receive them, and with a clear way to opt out. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging before sending to any list.
Should the principal use their personal number?
Better to have a business number held by the practice and shared with a named person. A client then reaches the practice even when the principal is on site or the team changes.
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.
