Jewellery retailers · Follow up systems

Call them before the muhurat, not after the wedding shopping is done.

A follow-up system for a jewellery showroom deals with the buyer who walked out without ordering, the design quote that went quiet, and the booked order waiting on its balance. The date that matters is their occasion, not your diary. GullySales builds the capture at the counter and the calls that follow it.

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 jewellery retailers

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

  • “You cannot follow up a visitor whose name nobody took”

    Most showrooms lose the enquiry at the counter, not on the phone. Until the salesperson records a name, a number and the occasion for every serious browser, there is nothing to follow up.

  • “The follow-up date is their wedding date, worked backwards”

    A bride buying for a date in two months needs a call now and again as the date nears. A call after the shopping is finished is a wasted one, however polite.

  • “A custom design quote dies in the wait for the goldsmith”

    A made-to-order piece is quoted, then the customer hears nothing while the workshop estimates it. Tell them when you will call back and call then, even if the answer is that it is still being worked out.

What we do

What we deliver for jewellery retailers.

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

  1. Counter capture for every serious enquiry

    A short slip or screen the salesperson completes with the name, number, occasion, date, budget band and designs shown.

    Result: The store has somebody to call the next day.

  2. Follow-up scheduled against the occasion date

    Calls and messages diarised backwards from the wedding, engagement or festival date the buyer gave, rather than on a fixed interval.

    Result: You reach them while they are still buying.

  3. A chase routine for booked orders awaiting balance

    A named person following each booking through the balance payment and the delivery date, with the customer told what is pending.

    Result: Fewer bookings sit half paid and half forgotten.

  4. Evening and Sunday message cover

    An agreed owner for messages that arrive after closing and on the busiest shopping day, so nothing waits until the next morning.

    Result: The enquiry that came in at nine at night is answered.

  5. An agreed point at which the calling stops

    An agreed number of attempts, after which the buyer moves to a list contacted only at the next festival, with the reason recorded.

    Result: Nobody is chased into irritation, and nobody is 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

Here is what the showroom does next for each kind of customer who left without ordering.

Walked out after seeing a bridal set
The salesperson writes their name, number and wedding date on the card before they leave. Message the same evening with the design photographs they liked.
Design quote sent, no reply
Send the weight, the making charges and the stone details in one message. Ask when their family will see the design and record the date.
Booked order awaiting the balance
Message when the piece is ready with a photograph, and ask when they will come for the balance. Write the delivery date and the balance due.
Waiting for the gold rate to settle
Ask which rate they are watching and offer to send the day's rate by message. Record the date they plan to buy.
Old gold exchange enquiry
Explain how the old gold is tested and weighed, and ask them to bring the bills. Write the date they plan to visit.
Customer from a past occasion
Note the birthday, anniversary or festival of the last purchase and message before it with a few new designs. Record whether they replied.

Who it is for

This is written for these jewellery retailers.

  • Bridal and wedding jewellery showrooms
  • Gold and diamond jewellery retail chains
  • Silver and artificial jewellery stores
  • Certified diamond and solitaire retailers
  • Traditional and antique jewellery stores
  • Single-showroom family jewellers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Counter staff do not record a visitor's name or number, so there would be no one to follow up with.
  • The showroom has no one who can reply on an evening or a festival day, when most visitors who left without buying are thinking about it.

How it works

How the follow up systems 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

    Measure today's reply time

    From your recent enquiries, we set the time each arrived against its first reply, using the call log, chats, form entries and portal panel. We also count the follow-ups each one 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

    Write the templates and first-call questions

    The first reply, the quote follow-up and the last attempt are written in your voice and loaded as quick replies. The first-call questions are agreed with your best salesperson.

  4. 4

    Set ownership, tasks and alerts

    Named owners, cover for leave and CRM or sheet tasks go live. App alerts, such as IndiaMART's, are switched on for the right phones.

  5. 5

    Track and adjust

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 2, qualification. 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.

Our salespeople say asking for a number puts customers off. Is that true?
Asked as an interrogation at the door, yes. Asked at the end of a design conversation, so you can send them the pictures of what they liked, most buyers give it willingly. The pictures are the reason they agree.
How often should we follow up a bridal enquiry?
Work from their date rather than a fixed rhythm. A call when a new collection lands, one when they asked to be told about a rate movement, and one as the date approaches is usually enough. Beyond that you are pushing.
Is WhatsApp fine to send design photographs?
Yes, with the weight and the price, since customers want to show the family. Send only items that are in stock or can be made, and avoid sending a customer's order photograph to anyone else. Keep each thread with the date, so any later price question can be answered.
A customer says they will come back after Akshaya Tritiya. Should we chase?
Ask what they plan to buy and which day. Message with the new designs a few days before the festival, and write their plan on the card. If they do not visit, send one message afterwards and then move them to the next occasion list.
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.
