Commercial solar EPC companies · Email marketing

Write the email that a finance head forwards to the owner.

Email marketing for a commercial solar EPC company is the set of one-to-one and list emails that carry a buyer from a survey enquiry to a proposal decision and later to a second roof. GullySales sets up consent, the proposal and follow-up emails, and a short note to plants you have already installed.

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

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For commercial solar EPC companies

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

  • “The reader is a forwarder”

    A plant head receives your email, then sends it to the owner, the finance head and sometimes the landlord. If it does not read clearly without you, the decision stops there.

  • “A proposal cycle has long gaps”

    Between survey and decision there are board meetings and budget approvals. Email that reads as a nudge is ignored. Email that answers the last question raised keeps the file alive.

  • “Past customers are the quiet list”

    A plant you installed has a second roof, a sister unit and a maintenance renewal. Many EPC companies never write to them, so they hear about a rival from a neighbour.

What we do

What we deliver for commercial solar EPC companies.

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

  1. Consent and list set-up

    A record of who agreed to hear from you, from which source, with the date, and an unsubscribe line in every email.

    Result: The list contains people who said yes.

  2. A proposal email that travels

    A cover email and a single-page summary on the owner's own bill, readable without a call, with the questions the finance head asks answered.

    Result: The owner receives the case in the form they forward.

  3. Follow-up emails for the usual holds

    Short emails for waiting on the board, comparing three quotes, landlord permission and the next budget year, each tied to a reason and a date.

    Result: A quiet file hears from you with something useful.

  4. A note to installed customers

    A plain email on performance from their own monitoring, cleaning and inspection, and room for a second roof or a sister unit.

    Result: Past customers hear from you for a reason.

  5. Segments by building type and stage

    Lists split by factory, warehouse and campus and by enquiry, proposal and installed stage.

    Result: Each reader gets email that fits their roof and their stage.

  6. Replies that reach a person

    A reply address and a rule on who answers, so an email never leads to a mailbox nobody reads.

    Result: A buyer's reply gets an answer from someone who knows the file.

How the result is measured

  • Open rate
  • Click rate
  • Enquiries from email

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What must be in place first

What a commercial solar EPC company needs in place before it emails a plant head, a finance head or a trustee.

Consent and the source of every address
Record where each address came from: a form, a survey, a card at an association meet. Write to people who asked or met you. Data protection law applies to personal data, so check with your lawyer.
A sender the company can stand behind
Send from a named person on the company domain, with the registered name, GST number and address in the signature. Industrial buyers and their banks look for it before they reply.
A proposal summary that stands alone
A one-page summary with the building, the system, the saving on the owner's bill, the equipment, the warranty and who handles approvals, so the email can be forwarded without a call.
Segments by building and stage
Keep factory, warehouse, campus and commercial buyers apart, and keep open proposals apart from installed customers. A maintenance note sent to a buyer still comparing quotes confuses the buyer.
A way out and a way to reply
An unsubscribe line in every email, and a reply address read by the engineer who knows the file. Remove those who ask, the same day, from every list.
Installed plants kept on their own list
Hold customers on a separate list with the plant, the date commissioned and the next service. A maintenance note is a service message, not a sales email, and should read as one.

Who it is for

This is written for these commercial solar EPC companies.

  • Rooftop EPC specialists for factories and industrial units
  • Warehouse, cold storage and logistics park rooftop installers
  • Campus installers for schools, colleges and hospitals
  • Pay-per-unit (OPEX) rooftop developers
  • Open access and group captive solar developers
  • Ground-mount and solar carport contractors
  • Government and public sector tender EPC companies
  • Operations and maintenance firms adding new installations

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You hold no list of factory owners, finance heads or past customers who agreed to hear from you
  • No one can write a note that a finance head would forward, and a generic offer would sit unread

How it works

How the email 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 your list

    We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.

  2. 2

    Audit past sends

    We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.

  3. 3

    Segment and plan

    The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.

  4. 4

    Write and set up

    Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.

  5. 5

    Measure and adjust

    We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

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.

Can we buy a list of factory owners and email them?
Do not. A bought list brings complaints, damages your domain and breaks the consent your enquiries rely on. Build a researched list of named plants, write to them one at a time from a real person, and give a clear way to stop.
Is a newsletter any use for us?
Seldom as a general newsletter. A short note to installed customers and a sequence for open proposals do the work. Add a newsletter only when you have something new each time, such as a commissioned plant or a change in the state's rules.
Why do our proposals land in spam?
Often it is the sender set-up on the domain, a large attachment or a free mail address. Send from your company domain with the technical records set, keep the file small and put the summary in the body of the mail.
Should the email carry the saving figure?
Yes, in rupees on the owner's own bill, with the basis stated in the same email. A figure without its working invites doubt. Do not quote a general number for all buyers, and do not round up.
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.
