Solar maintenance companies · Follow up systems

Follow up the quote that went quiet and the inverter fault that came back.

A follow-up system for a solar maintenance company is the routine that decides who contacts a rooftop owner after a fault call, a roof visit, a quote or a finished job, and what is said and written down. GullySales builds it around your job sheets, so a call, a quote or a contract does not lapse because nobody noticed.

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 solar maintenance companies

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

  • “The quote after the first visit goes quiet”

    The engineer found two faults, the quote went out on WhatsApp, and the owner has not replied. Nobody knows whether they are comparing, waiting for the bill or have fixed it elsewhere.

  • “The fault returns and nobody called”

    After a repair the owner finds the same error again, and by then the trust is gone. A short call a few sunny days later would have caught it.

  • “Societies move on committee dates”

    The committee meets on a set day. A follow-up made before the meeting is early, and one made after the next meeting is late.

What we do

What we deliver for solar maintenance companies.

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

  1. A follow-up map by situation

    Fault call unanswered, visit done, quote sent, thinking about it, after repair, after cleaning and lapsed contract, each with its own next step.

    Result: Every moment has an owner and an action.

  2. A message and a call for each situation

    One WhatsApp message and one call outline for each moment, each ending in a named next step.

    Result: Staff do not invent a follow-up each time.

  3. A name against every follow-up

    A person, not the team, who owns each follow-up and the date it is due.

    Result: Nothing waits for someone to notice.

  4. A check after a repair

    A call a few sunny days after a repair to confirm generation looks right, noted on the roof's record.

    Result: Returning faults reach you before a review does.

  5. A committee calendar

    The date of each society's next meeting recorded with its quote, and a follow-up set for the day after.

    Result: Society follow-ups land when the decision is taken.

  6. A rule for closing a lead

    What a final message says and how a lost enquiry is marked with a reason.

    Result: Lost enquiries are counted, not forgotten.

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 this trade

Who follows up whom, by which channel and with what words, at each moment in a maintenance job.

A fault call not yet answered
The desk calls back the same day and sends a WhatsApp asking for a photo of the display. Record the time of the first reply and who gave it.
Visit done, quote not yet sent
The engineer sends the findings with photos that evening, and the desk follows with the quote. Record that the owner received it, not only that it was sent.
Quote sent, no reply
Call to ask whether anything needs explaining, such as parts or warranty. Write down the objection in the owner's words and set the next date.
I will think about it
Ask what they are weighing and when you may call again. Put that date on the record and call on it, with a fresh reading or photo as the reason.
After a repair or cleaning
Check in the app that generation looks right after a few sunny days, then ask the owner. Note anything that has returned and book a re-visit.
A lapsed contract
The desk calls, not the engineer. Ask what changed, offer an inspection and record the reason. Keep the customer on the pre-summer list instead of dropping the record.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the follow up systems work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How many follow-ups before it annoys the owner?
It is what each contact says that annoys, not the count. Give something new each time: an answer to their question, a photo of what you found, a seasonal note. Calling twice only to ask whether they decided is what puts people off.
Should follow-up be by call or on WhatsApp?
A call first for a society or a factory, because a committee or an engineering head wants to ask questions, then a written message to confirm. A home owner usually prefers WhatsApp. Write down what was agreed after every call.
What do we do with a customer who says no?
Record why in their words, thank them and add a note for next season. Do not delete them. A no in the monsoon is not a no before summer, and the reason may be one you can change.
When do we stop following up?
When the owner says no, or when the quote has had its round and a final message has gone with a plain way to come back. Mark it lost with a reason and move on. A lead you keep chasing forever hides the ones that are real.
Customers only want cleaning and stop after one visit. How do we sell a contract?
Price the single cleaning on its own, and sell the contract on what a cleaner cannot give: an inspection, readings at each visit and a named engineer for faults. Show a sample visit report before the owner decides. Some owners will only ever want a bucket and a hose, and that is a fair answer.
Can you get us empanelled by inverter or panel makers as a service partner?
No. Empanelment is between your company and the maker, on their terms. We make your company name, address and service areas match across your site, Google and listings, so a maker's helpline or a dealer checking you finds the same business everywhere.
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 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.
