Real estate developers and brokers · Follow up systems

The buyer enquired at eleven and three other projects rang before you did.

A follow-up system in real estate settles what happens to a portal lead nobody rang, a site visit that got no call afterwards, and a buyer waiting on a loan. Speed at first contact and patience across the months after it are two different jobs. GullySales writes both and puts a date on every live enquiry.

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.

Sales and marketing for real estate developers and brokers, the overview.

Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For real estate developers and brokers

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

  • “A portal lead has a shelf life measured in minutes”

    The same enquiry went to three projects. Whoever rings first books the site visit, and by morning the buyer has already agreed to see somebody else's flat on Sunday.

  • “The call after the site visit is the one nobody makes”

    The executive who showed the flat assumes the buyer will ring. The buyer is waiting to be persuaded. A call the next day, asking what the family thought, moves more bookings than any offer.

  • “A buyer stuck on a loan needs a different kind of chase”

    The buyer is not undecided but stuck, and will not say so. Check what the bank said, introduce another banker, and agree when to speak again.

What we do

What we deliver for real estate developers and brokers.

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

  1. A first-response rule with a named owner per shift

    Portal, website, hoarding number and WhatsApp each assigned, with the callback made while the enquiry is still warm.

    Result: Yours is the first call the buyer takes.

  2. A post-visit call fixed into the process

    Who rings after a site visit, what is asked, and what is recorded about the family's objections.

    Result: The visit becomes a conversation rather than an ending.

  3. A route for the buyer stuck on a loan

    Eligibility checked, two bankers ready to introduce, and a date agreed for the next conversation.

    Result: A stuck buyer stays in the pipeline.

  4. A chase that carries news

    A slab cast, an approval received, a price revision coming, or a show flat opened, used as the reason to ring.

    Result: The buyer takes the call because something changed.

  5. A stop rule, and a revisit list

    When the team stops chasing, and when a cold enquiry comes back, because a buyer who could not afford it last year sometimes can now.

    Result: Old enquiries get worked instead of deleted.

  6. A loss reason on every closed enquiry

    Price, possession date, locality, loan or bought elsewhere, recorded so the pattern shows against the baseline taken before the work started.

    Result: You learn what the project is really losing on.

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.

Follow-up routine for property sales

Each portal lead, site visit and loan-pending buyer has a named caller and a recorded next step.

Portal lead received
The executive on shift rings the buyer while the enquiry is fresh, asks the locality, budget and BHK, and records which portal sent it.
Site visit booked, buyer did not turn up
Ring that evening to ask if another time suits and whether they want the location shared again. Mark the visit as missed and the reason given.
Visited, no decision
Ring the next day and ask what the family thought, which unit they liked and who else has to approve. Log the objections in the buyer's own words.
Home loan in process
Ask which bank, the stage of sanction and the documents pending. Offer the builder's panel bank contact and record the date the sanction is expected.
Broker or channel partner brought the client
Tell the partner what happened after the visit and what the buyer asked. Record who owns the client so two people do not chase.
Buyer says it is too early
Ask what they are waiting for, such as a sale, a possession date or a school admission. Set a reminder around that event and close the lead if they ask you to.

Who it is for

This is written for these real estate developers and brokers.

  • Residential apartment developers
  • Villa and plotted development builders
  • Commercial and office space developers
  • Independent brokers and channel partner networks
  • Redevelopment and rehabilitation projects
  • Plot and land aggregators
  • NRI-focused residential projects
  • Affordable and mid-income housing developers
  • Luxury and premium residential developers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No one owns the first call after hours, so the buyer rings the next project first.
  • You want to repeat the same reminder to all, which a family reads as pressure.
  • Your stop rule is undecided, and calling a buyer who has said no would harm the brand.

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 your recent enquiries, we set the time each arrived against its first reply, using the call log, chats, form entries and portal panel. We also count the follow-ups each one 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

    Write the templates and first-call questions

    The first reply, the quote follow-up and the last attempt are written in your voice and loaded as quick replies. The first-call questions are agreed with your best salesperson.

  4. 4

    Set ownership, tasks and alerts

    Named owners, cover for leave and CRM or sheet tasks go live. App alerts, such as IndiaMART's, are switched on for the right phones.

  5. 5

    Track and adjust

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

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 fast should we call a portal lead?
While the buyer is still looking at the portal, if you can manage it. Give each shift a named owner rather than writing a rule nobody answers for. A short call that books a site visit beats a thorough one an hour later.
Our executives say the leads are junk. Are they?
Some are, and the record will tell you which source. But a lead nobody rang for a day looks exactly like a bad lead by the time anyone reviews it. Record callback time by source first, then judge the source.
Should we keep calling buyers who say they will think about it?
Call again once with something new, such as an updated plan, a unit that has opened or a loan offer from the panel bank. If the buyer repeats that they are waiting, note the event they named and ring only around it.
How should a broker follow up when a developer's team also calls?
Tell the buyer which of you will be their point of contact, then share the same information. Ask the developer's sales team who owns the lead and record it, so the buyer receives one voice and no one is chased twice.
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.
