Bicycle stores · Follow up systems
The cycle was sold on Sunday, and the first service is the next time the buyer thinks of you.
A follow-up system for a bicycle store is the set of messages and calls that go to a buyer after the sale, the repair or the enquiry that did not close. GullySales works on who sends what, at which moment in the buyer's cycle ownership, and how a reply is handled.
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 bicycle stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The enquiry that did not buy still wants a cycle”
A parent who came in and left said they would think about it. If nobody writes again, the child gets a cycle from the next shop. One message with the size and the models discussed keeps the shop in the conversation.
“The first service is the moment trust is built”
A new rider whose seat has slipped or whose brakes need tightening is checking whether the shop cares after the sale. A message offering the first adjustment turns a purchase into a relationship.
“Repair pick-up is a follow-up in disguise”
When a cycle is ready, a message with a photo and a note on what was done brings the owner in and leaves a record. Silence turns a finished job into a cycle sitting in the corner.
“Seasonal follow-up needs a reason”
A message before summer holidays or before the rains is useful when it offers something: a check, a slot, a new arrival. One that only says hello is skipped, and a surplus of them gets the number blocked.
What we do
What we deliver for bicycle stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A follow-up map from sale onwards
A short list of moments after a cycle is sold: handover, first adjustment, service due, outgrown size, plus the message for each.
Result: Every sale has a planned set of next contacts.
A follow-up for open enquiries
A message to people who asked but did not buy, with the models discussed and a next step.
Result: Open enquiries get a second contact instead of silence.
A repair-ready message
A short note with a photo when the repair is done and a pick-up time.
Result: Finished jobs do not sit uncollected.
A seasonal message set
Messages for the holidays, birthdays and festivals, each carrying an offer or a service slot.
Result: Each seasonal push gives the reader something to act on.
A reply owner and a stop rule
One person who answers replies, and a rule for who is not messaged again once they opt out.
Result: Replies get answered and opt-outs are respected.
A follow-up tally
A count of messages sent, replies received and visits or bookings that followed.
Result: You can see which follow-ups bring people back.
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.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
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
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
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
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 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.
