Residential property brokers · Follow up systems

Reply before the buyer writes to the next broker on the list.

A follow-up system for a residential broker is the set of rules for who replies, with what, and when the next message goes out. GullySales writes the messages, names the person responsible and sets reminders for evenings, weekends and quiet stretches.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 property brokers

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

  • “Night enquiries go cold”

    A requirement sent late on a Saturday is answered by whoever sees it first. If your office opens on Monday, the buyer has met someone else by then. Decide who covers the late hours and what the first message says.

  • “A site visit has a thread before and after”

    The buyer needs a confirmation, a location pin and a name to ask for. After the visit comes a short note and a question about the next step. Brokers who send nothing after a visit let the buyer's memory fade.

  • “Sellers go quiet while a flat sits”

    An owner whose flat has had no offer grows doubtful. A short update on who visited and what was said keeps the relationship alive. Silence from the broker reads as lost interest.

  • “Landlords return only if asked”

    Once a tenant is placed, the file is closed in the average office. A call when the lease nears its end, or when a nearby flat sells, reopens the conversation. The reminder has to exist before the date arrives.

What we do

What we deliver for residential property brokers.

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

  1. First reply messages

    Prepared replies for portal enquiries, form fills, walk-ins and calls, each asking the one question that moves the buyer along.

    Result: The first answer is short to write and specific.

  2. Visit confirmation and thank-you notes

    A message before the visit with the pin, the contact and the time, and a note after with a question about the next step.

    Result: Buyers know where to go and what you asked.

  3. Owner update routine

    A short note format for sellers and landlords on viewings held, feedback and the suggested next step.

    Result: Owners hear from you without needing to chase.

  4. Covering evenings and holidays

    A named person and a simple rota for late and weekend enquiries, with a holding message when nobody is free.

    Result: No enquiry waits for the office to open.

  5. Stalled-lead rules

    A set of steps for buyers who stop replying: when to message again, when to offer something new, when to close the record.

    Result: Cold leads are handled the same way every time.

  6. Reminder set in the CRM

    Tasks tied to dates for visits, lease ends and listing reviews, each assigned to a person.

    Result: Follow-up depends on a task, not memory.

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.

Will automated messages put buyers off?
They can if they sound like a machine. Use automation for confirmations and reminders and keep conversation to a person. Messaging platforms have rules on business messages, so check the platform's current rules.
How many follow-ups are too many?
There is no fixed number. Stop when the buyer says so, and do not message anyone who has asked not to be contacted. Respect for the buyer's wishes is part of the system.
Who should own follow-up in a small office?
One named person for each record. Shared responsibility means nobody sends the message. Write the name on the task, review the open list together and move any record without a next step.
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.
