General construction contractors · WhatsApp marketing

Reply to a forwarded building enquiry with a proper catalogue and a clear first message.

WhatsApp marketing for a general contractor is the use of the app owners and architects already have open, to share finished work, answer questions and keep a quotation conversation moving. GullySales sets up your business profile, catalogue and message routines, and keeps them within the platform's current rules.

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 general construction contractors

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

  • “Enquiries arrive as forwarded contacts”

    An owner is given your number by an architect or a neighbour, then messages with one line. A reply that is slow or says only 'sir please call' loses to a contractor who sends a project catalogue within the same conversation.

  • “A personal number mixes work and family”

    Messages from owners, gangs, dealers and relatives share one chat list. Quotation requests get buried. A separate business number, even on a second phone, keeps enquiries visible.

  • “Documents are sent but never organised”

    Drawings, bills of quantities and photographs go back and forth in one long thread. Weeks later nobody can find the approved version. A fixed way of naming and pinning files saves arguments on site.

What we do

What we deliver for general construction contractors.

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

  1. A business profile and catalogue

    Your business profile with address, hours and a catalogue of finished projects by building type.

    Result: A profile that answers 'who are you' before you reply.

  2. A first-reply message

    A prepared answer that thanks the owner, asks the key questions about plot and drawings and offers a site visit.

    Result: A reply that turns a one-line message into a scoped enquiry.

  3. Saved replies and quotation messages

    Replies for common questions and a clear cover note for sending a quotation.

    Result: Messages your team can reuse without rewriting.

  4. A way to organise lists

    Labels for new enquiry, site visit done, quotation sent and signed, so you can see where each stands.

    Result: Every chat tagged with its stage.

  5. Permission and conduct rules

    A short guide on asking owners before adding them to lists and on checking the platform's current rules before any broadcast.

    Result: A written rule for your team on who may be messaged.

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 promotional messages to our whole contact list?
Check the platform's current rules and ask for permission first. Unwanted bulk messages damage trust and can put your business number at risk. We set up opt-in before any broadcast.
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Not for a small firm. The Business app handles profile, catalogue and labels. Consider the API only when message volume and team size grow beyond what one phone can handle.
Should the owner of the firm reply personally?
For a large contract, yes at the right stage. For the first reply and routine questions, a trained coordinator can answer, with the owner joining when the owner of the building asks for them.
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.
