Curtain stores · Follow up systems
Send the next message while the measuring tape is still fresh in the buyer's mind.
A follow-up system for a curtain store is the set of messages and reminders that carry a buyer from measurement visit to order. GullySales works on what is sent after each step, who sends it and how an unanswered quote is picked up again.
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 curtain stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The quote goes out late and the buyer moves on”
Measuring takes an hour, then the quote waits a day or two while stitching costs are checked. A buyer who has seen two other shops is by then comparing a third. The gap after the visit is where orders are lost.
“Silence does not mean no”
A buyer who reads the quote and says nothing is waiting for a partner, a designer or the end of the month. A gentle message with a swatch offer or a revised option for a smaller budget reopens the talk without pressure. Send it before the buyer asks.
“The order is not the end of the job”
Between order and fitting come fabric, stitching and track delivery. If the buyer hears nothing, the call goes to the owner. A message at each step keeps the buyer informed and the owner free. Keep the notes short and plain.
“A second room is the cheapest sale”
The family with a fitted living room has bedrooms still bare. A message after a settled period, with a photograph of the finished room, invites the next order from someone who already trusts the fitter.
What we do
What we deliver for curtain stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A message ladder from visit to order
Timed messages after the visit, with the quote, a swatch offer and a revised option, each written in plain words.
Result: A set of messages ready for every open quote.
A fitting-progress update set
Short notes at fabric received, stitching done, track arrived and fitting booked.
Result: The buyer knows where the order stands without calling.
A second-room prompt
A message to past buyers with a photograph of their fitted room and a suggestion for the next one.
Result: A list of past buyers each with the next room named.
A rule for who follows up
A named person and a daily check of the quote register, so reminders do not depend on memory.
Result: Every open quote has an owner.
A review request at handover
A message after fitting asking for a review that mentions the fabric and the fitter.
Result: Each completed job has a review request attached.
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.
