Custom jewellery designers · Follow up systems

After the sketch goes out, the next message decides whether the client returns.

A follow-up system for a custom jewellery designer is the set of planned messages after an enquiry, a sketch, a quote and a delivery. GullySales works on the wording, the timing rules and the record so that silence after a sketch becomes a conversation.

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 custom jewellery designers

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

  • “The client goes quiet after the sketch”

    A design took hours and the reply is a read tick. The client is comparing, consulting family or waiting for a date. A planned, courteous question brings the conversation back; a reminder that sounds like pressure ends it.

  • “A follow-up should add something”

    Another version, a render, a note on a stone or an answer to a worry gives the client a reason to reply. A bare message asking if they have decided gives them nothing.

  • “The advance needs a clear next step”

    Once the client likes the design, the way to pay and what happens next must be obvious. Confusion at this point loses the commission more than price does.

  • “Delivery is not the end”

    A message on collection, a care note and a later message on the anniversary keep the studio in mind for the next piece and for the cousin who asks where it was made.

What we do

What we deliver for custom jewellery designers.

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

  1. A sequence after the first enquiry

    Planned replies that ask for occasion, budget and metal and offer a consultation.

    Result: Each enquiry gets the same careful start.

  2. A sequence after a sketch

    A set of messages that add a version, a render or an answer, with a date for feedback.

    Result: Quiet clients are asked, not chased.

  3. An advance and terms message

    A clear note on how to pay, what is recorded and what the next step is.

    Result: The client knows exactly what happens after paying.

  4. A delivery and care message

    Collection details, care instructions and a thank you, with a review request.

    Result: Delivery ends with a record and a kind word.

  5. An owner's list of who to contact today

    A list drawn from the pipeline stages.

    Result: The studio opens the day with a list of people to message.

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.

  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

    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.

  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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

What is the limit on follow-ups?
Set a limit you are comfortable with and stop politely. A message that adds value is welcome; repeated pings are not. Close the enquiry with a friendly note and leave the door open.
Should follow-ups be automatic?
Reminders for the studio can be automatic. The message itself should read as personal, because a custom commission is personal. Use templates as a starting point and add the client's own detail.
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.
