Elevator companies · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to answer the drawing request and the night-time breakdown message.

WhatsApp marketing for an elevator company is the use of one business number to send drawings to architects, answer family questions about home lifts and keep associations informed about service. GullySales works on setting up the number, the catalogue, the saved replies and the rules for who answers.

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

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 elevator companies

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

  • “Architects ask for drawings on WhatsApp”

    An architect with a client meeting tomorrow messages for the shaft and pit drawing of a model. The company that sends a clean PDF with dimensions in minutes gets drawn into the plan. The one that says the email will follow loses the slot.

  • “Associations already talk in a WhatsApp group”

    A breakdown is announced to hundreds of residents in a few messages. If your own number is not in that group or answers late, the group tells the story for you. A clear service line and a prompt reply change what the committee says at renewal.

  • “A family wants reassurance, not a brochure”

    The adult child asks about power cuts, space and cost in a text message. A short voice note or a photograph of an installed home lift answers better than a long catalogue, and it moves the family toward a site visit.

  • “A personal number in a salesman's phone is a risk”

    Enquiries, quotation threads and building contacts sit on individual phones. When the salesman leaves, the conversations go with them. A shared business number keeps the history with the company.

What we do

What we deliver for elevator companies.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. Business number and profile

    A verified WhatsApp Business profile with address, hours, website and a short description of what you install and service.

    Result: A new contact sees a company, not a personal number.

  2. Catalogue of lift models

    Each model with a photograph, car size options and a link to the drawing sheet.

    Result: An architect or family can browse models inside the chat.

  3. Saved replies for the common questions

    Prepared answers on pit depth, power backup, licence help, maintenance contracts and site visits, edited by your team before sending.

    Result: The same question gets the same correct answer from anyone.

  4. Separate routing for sales and breakdowns

    A rule that sends new project enquiries to sales and service calls to the duty engineer, with a clear message for each.

    Result: A stuck-lift message never waits behind a quotation request.

  5. Opt-in and broadcast list

    A list of architects, builders and associations who agreed to messages, kept apart from private contacts.

    Result: You send updates only to people who asked for them.

  6. Hand-over rules for staff leaving

    Chats held on the shared number and a log in the CRM so nothing leaves with a person.

    Result: The history stays with the company.

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.

What to capture or send

The WhatsApp messages a lift company sends, and what each should record.

Architect's request for a drawing
Record the project and lift type, and reply with the dimension sheet in the file form they use. Note the date so a revision can follow.
Quotation summary to a builder
Send the main figures and the scope, with the full quote attached. Save it against the project so the revision history is clear.
Home lift family's questions
Record the worry in their words and answer it with a photograph or a short video of a similar installation, with the owner's permission.
Breakdown report from a lift
Ask for the building, the lift number and a photograph of the display. Route it to the service desk, which should not be the sales number.
Association group message
A scheduled service visit notice sent to the committee's group, with the technician's name. Join a group only when invited.
Consent to messages
Ask each contact if they agree to updates and record the answer. A number given for a project is not agreement to promotions.

Who it is for

This is written for these elevator companies.

  • Passenger lift companies for apartments and offices
  • Home lift and villa elevator specialists
  • Hospital bed and stretcher lift suppliers
  • Goods and freight lift manufacturers
  • Escalator and travelator suppliers for malls and metros
  • Dumbwaiter and service lift suppliers for hotels and restaurants
  • Independent lift maintenance and AMC companies
  • Lift modernisation and retrofit specialists

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The sales number and the breakdown number are the same phone, and one person cannot answer both
  • The company sends every message from personal numbers, and no record would remain when the engineer leaves

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

WhatsApp marketing for elevator companies: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

Describe how the contact list was collected, what people asked to receive, and which messages are currently sent. Include opt-outs and replies when reviewing campaign performance.

Make the scope clear

Agree the audience, message purpose, sending system, and response owner. Separate promotional communication from order or service updates, and check current platform requirements before launch.

Check the work in use

Test the message with a small appropriate audience before wider use. Check links, reply handling, opt-outs, and whether the response leads to a relevant conversation or order.

Know when to change course

Do not use an unexplained contact list as a shortcut to demand. If recipients do not expect the message, resolve the permission and relevance questions before sending.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

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

    Conversation review and priorities

    You share relevant chats and explain where enquiries stall. We agree which questions belong in the first scope and record the available baseline before changes begin.

  2. 2

    App or API decision

    We compare your reply needs with the current setup. You approve the route, including any separate API setup work, before committing to provider costs.

  3. 3

    Contact and content approval

    Your team confirms which contacts have permission and approves the replies. Clinics and other regulated organisations arrange their own compliance review before messages are used.

  4. 4

    Routing and record agreement

    The person responsible for sales confirms ownership rules and required CRM fields. We identify any wider CRM work that needs a separate scope.

  5. 5

    Testing and release approval

    Test conversations check the reply path and human takeover. You approve release after reviewing the messages and sample records.

  6. 6

    Outcome review and changes

    We review unanswered questions and recorded outcomes against the baseline at the agreed reporting points. Changes to replies or routing return to your nominated approver.

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 send the same message to all our architects?
Only to those who agreed to receive messages from you, and in the format the platform allows. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging before you send, and keep each message useful rather than promotional.
Should the breakdown number be the same as the sales number?
Keep them separate where you can. A stuck-lift message needs an immediate answer, while a quotation request can wait. One number with clear routing works if staff are named for each.
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Not at the start. The Business app with saved replies and a catalogue serves a small team. Move to the API when several people must answer from one number or when you need automation, and select a provider then.
Should the breakdown number differ from the sales number?
Yes. A stuck lift needs a response now, and a sales enquiry does not. Mixed together, a breakdown message waits behind a quotation request. A separate number, watched by the service desk, also keeps complaints out of the sales chat.
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.
