MEP consultants · Follow up systems

Follow up the proposal so the appointment does not go to whoever rang last.

A follow-up system for an MEP consultant decides who calls whom after a fee proposal goes out, and what is said. GullySales works on the sequence of contacts, the owner of each, and the notes that keep a quiet proposal from being forgotten.

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 MEP consultants

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

  • “Silence after a proposal is not a no”

    Architects hold proposals until the client confirms, and clients wait for approvals. A consultant who hears nothing may be waiting on something outside the architect's control, and a calm call finds out what.

  • “The consultant who calls first is not always the best”

    If nobody on your side owns the follow-up, a rival who rings the owner first can win the appointment. The fix is not more calls but a named person and a reason for each call.

  • “Each call needs something new to say”

    A bare 'any update?' wastes goodwill. A call that offers a clarified scope, a note on a recent similar project or an answer to a question the architect raised gives the buyer a reason to talk.

What we do

What we deliver for MEP consultants.

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

  1. A follow-up plan for each proposal

    The decision maker, the person who calls, the date of the next contact and the reason for it, set when the proposal goes out.

    Result: Every open proposal has a next step with a name against it.

  2. A library of reasons to call

    Short notes such as a related project completed, a clarification of scope or a code change that affects the building.

    Result: Calls carry something useful.

  3. A status for held proposals

    A way to mark a proposal as held pending the client, with a date to check again.

    Result: Held proposals are not mixed up with lost ones.

  4. A loss review

    A short conversation with the architect after a lost proposal, asking what decided it, recorded in the CRM.

    Result: Lessons from losses are kept.

  5. A reminder routine

    Reminders to the person who owns each call, visible to the principals.

    Result: No promised call is missed.

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 frequently should we follow up?
There is no fixed rule. It depends on the project stage and what the architect has told you. Agree the next contact on each call, and follow that date rather than a calendar pattern.
Should the principal or an engineer follow up?
Whoever the buyer trusts. Architects prefer the person who will do the work. Record who owns each relationship and have a second person who knows the proposal in case the first is on site.
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.
