Warehouse developers · WhatsApp marketing

Answer a broker's requirement on WhatsApp with the factsheet, and log it as it arrives.

WhatsApp marketing for a warehouse developer is how brokers and logistics heads receive factsheets, availability and visit directions on the app they already use all day. GullySales works on the business account, the reply templates and the habit of moving each chat into the requirement record.

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

Warehouse and industrial park developers: show a real physical business scene illustrating Park layout, plots and sheds. List each plot, shed and warehouse bay with its phase, area, specification, rate and status, so leasing sees what is vacant, held, let or due for renewal at a glance.

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 warehouse developers

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

  • “Requirements arrive as a text and expect a reply”

    A broker sends four lines of size, height, docks and budget. The developer whose reply carries a factsheet and a location pin looks prepared, while one who writes asking for details looks slow.

  • “A personal number holds the pipeline”

    When the director's own phone holds every broker chat, the leasing team cannot see a requirement and a departure takes the history with it. A business account with named staff keeps the chats with the company.

  • “Broadcasting needs permission”

    Sending availability to every broker in a contact list invites complaints and blocks. Ask a broker to opt in to the availability list, and check the platform's current rules on business messaging.

  • “The chat should end in a record”

    A conversation that agrees a visit date has changed the stage of the deal. If that is noted only in the chat, the leasing head sees nothing until the occupier arrives at the gate.

What we do

What we deliver for warehouse developers.

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

  1. WhatsApp Business setup

    A business account with the company name, description, hours and the catalogue or link to the availability sheet.

    Result: Brokers see a company profile, not a personal number.

  2. Reply templates

    Saved replies for a new requirement, a factsheet, a visit invitation and directions to the gate.

    Result: The first reply carries the specification and a pin.

  3. Broker availability list

    An opt-in list for brokers who want updates when units are let or released.

    Result: Brokers get availability changes only if they asked.

  4. Chat-to-record routine

    A rule for who copies a requirement from a chat into the CRM and how it is tagged.

    Result: Every requirement on WhatsApp has a record.

  5. Staff access rules

    A plan for which staff reply, from which account, and what happens when one leaves.

    Result: History stays with the company when staff change.

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

Messages for requirements that arrive as a text.

Reply to a requirement
Confirm the area, corridor and need date back to the sender and attach the matching shed's factsheet. Record it in the requirement record.
Availability list for brokers
A controlled message listing free bays, with the date it was current. Send only to brokers who agreed.
Visit confirmation
Date, time, gate and the contact on site, with a map pin at the real gate. Avoids a wrong turn.
Document request
Ask for the company's name, the signatory and the requirement in a single message, so the term sheet can be drafted.
Opt-in line
Record that the broker or occupier agreed to receive updates and on what topics. Confirm the platform's latest rules on business messages before sending.

Who it is for

This is written for these warehouse developers.

  • Third-party logistics providers
  • E-commerce and quick-commerce operators
  • FMCG and consumer goods companies
  • Automotive and engineering supply chains
  • Pharma and cold chain operators
  • Retail chains with a regional distribution centre
  • Manufacturers needing a satellite warehouse
  • Brokers and industrial real estate consultants

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Staff use personal numbers for all requirements, and the pipeline would leave with each employee.
  • You plan to push rates and brochures to every contact in your phone.
  • No one is free to answer in the working day, so a channel known for speed would show delay.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

WhatsApp marketing for warehouse developers: 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.

Before we start

What to have ready before the work starts.

The records, access and decisions this work needs from warehouse developers. Anything missing is noted in the written scope, with who will supply it.

A phone and SIM owned by the company
The business number must live on a device the company controls. A spare phone is acceptable. If only personal numbers exist, a handover rule is written. Protect the phone with a lock and a backup, since it will hold requirements that matter to the pipeline.
A sample of recent leasing chats
Screenshots with names hidden. They show what arrives. Without them the templates are guesses. Choose chats with a broker, with a manufacturer and with a third-party logistics firm, so the templates fit all three.
The current availability by bay
A sheet with specification and status. Without it, the list cannot be built. Add the date it was last confirmed, because a stale list sent to a broker does more harm than none.
Names of staff who may hold the number
Who opens the number, who replies first and who covers when that person is travelling or on a site visit. A list of names with a backup for each is enough. Without it, a broker's message waits for whoever happens to look, and the speed that made the chat worth using is lost.
A view on broker groups
You decide whether the company joins broker groups on its business number. We ask for a rule. Until set, the team stays out of groups. Include any group where a competitor's team is present, so we can advise on what is shared there.

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

    Look at the chats where requirements arrive

    We read a sample of recent chats between your leasing team and brokers or occupiers: a text with an area and a size, a forwarded brochure, a question about a bay. You tell us which numbers carry real work. What exists afterwards is a picture of what arrives, what is sent back and what is lost because it lived on one phone. We also note whether brokers add your team to their own groups, since a requirement posted there needs a reply from someone who knows availability.

  2. 2

    Set up the business number for leasing

    We configure the business app on a number the company owns, with a profile giving name, parks and a link to the shed pages. You decide who holds the phone. The leasing team's conversations move onto this number, so a requirement is not lost when a manager changes roles. The profile states the parks and the corridors in words a driver and a broker would use.

  3. 3

    Prepare the broker availability list

    We build a short, clean list of free bays by corridor, with specification and a link to the shed page, in a form that can be sent in one message. You keep the status current. Brokers get the same list each time, so they stop asking for the latest. We add a line that tells the broker which bays are held for an occupier in discussion, if you choose to share it, so they do not offer the same bay twice.

  4. 4

    Write the reply templates

    We draft replies for a first requirement, a factsheet request, visit directions with the gate and contact, and a visit follow-up. You read them aloud. Each asks for the specification we need and tells the sender what happens next. A visit-directions template carries the gate, the security process and the name of the person who will meet the visitor, since a driver needs all three.

  5. 5

    Agree staff access and the chat-to-record routine

    We set who may open the number, who replies and how each conversation is copied into the requirement register. You name the people. A chat that does not end in a record is a chat lost, so the routine is short enough to be done at the end of a conversation. Where a conversation moves to a call, the manager types a two-line note afterwards, so the record is not blank where the real discussion happened.

  6. 6

    Compare chats, visits and requirements with the start

    We count the chats that stated a requirement, the visits that followed and the lettings that came from them, against the first picture. You decide which template to change. A chat that stopped after a factsheet was sent is checked for whether the next step was asked. The review also notes which brokers reply fastest on this channel, and which prefer email, so each is reached where they answer.

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 brochures and rates on WhatsApp?
Factsheets and availability are suitable. Send rates only where your leasing head has approved them for that requirement, since a rate in a chat is hard to withdraw.
Do we need the official business API?
The business app is where a small leasing desk can begin. The API suits a larger team that wants several staff on one number and links to a CRM, and we advise on it once volumes justify it.
What about broker groups we are added to?
Treat a group as a source. Reply to a requirement in the group with a short message and move the detail to a one-to-one chat, then log it, so the group does not become the only record.
Can we send brochures and rates on WhatsApp?
Brochures, yes, to people who asked. Rates, only where you will stand by them for that deal. A rate in a forwarded chat spreads beyond the person you meant. Say that the figure applies to the requirement discussed, and save the exchange in the record.
What about broker groups we are added to?
Join only the ones that suit your corridors and reply only to requirements you can serve. Mute the rest. Move any serious requirement into a private chat and the record, since group chats scroll and lose details.
What should the first reply to a broker's message say?
Thank them, confirm what you understood of the requirement, and ask for what is missing: area, preferred corridor, clear height, number of docks and start date. Then name the bays that could fit, with a link to each shed page, or say plainly that nothing fits at present and what would. Keep it short enough to read on a phone between meetings. The broker gets an answer that proves someone read the message, and your requirement register gets the specification it needs from the first exchange.
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.
