Residential architects · Follow up systems

Keep a family's proposal alive through the weeks of relatives' opinions.

A follow-up system for a residential architect is the routine of calls and messages after a site visit and a fee note. GullySales sets down who contacts whom, when a nudge is right and when to leave a family alone.

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 residential architects

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

  • “Silence after the fee note is the normal state”

    The family discusses the number with parents, the builder and a friend who built last year. Nobody at the practice hears any of it. Without a planned contact, the proposal fades and you learn later that another architect was hired.

  • “Chasing on price loses the conversation”

    A message asking whether they have decided turns the exchange into a sales call. A follow-up that offers a visit to a finished house, or answers a question raised at the meeting, gives the family a reason to reply.

  • “The second family discussion is the real decision”

    Families talk once informally, then sit down again with everyone. A call timed after that second talk, when questions have collected, finds the family ready to answer. Knowing when that happens in your clients' households is practical knowledge worth writing down.

What we do

What we deliver for residential architects.

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

  1. Post-visit follow-up plan

    A set sequence of contacts after the site visit and fee note, each with a purpose such as sending a similar house or answering a fee question.

    Result: Every proposal has a next contact date.

  2. Reply templates in your own voice

    Short messages for WhatsApp and email that you edit and send yourself.

    Result: The team replies in one consistent tone.

  3. Stalled-proposal review

    A scheduled look at proposals gone quiet, with a decision to call, send something or close politely.

    Result: No proposal sits untouched without a decision.

  4. Lost-reason record

    A line on why a family went elsewhere when you hear.

    Result: You see patterns in the fee and style objections.

  5. Past-client keep-in-touch routine

    Notes at housewarming, festivals and anniversaries of handover.

    Result: Past clients hear from you between projects.

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?
There is no fixed number. It depends on the family and what was last asked. We set the plan with you around real decision points and review it against what happens.
Is it pushy to follow up on a fee note?
Not when each message gives something useful. Asking whether they decided is pushy. Offering to answer a question or show a finished house is not.
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.
