Tile, flooring and bathware dealers · Follow up systems

Every lost tile order that was quoted and never called was a sale in reach.

A follow-up system for a tile dealer is the set of calls, messages and reminders that carry a family from a quotation to an order, and a builder from a rate to a delivery. GullySales works on building that routine around your quotation record so no quote depends on one person remembering it.

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 tile, flooring and bathware dealers

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

  • “The family goes home to argue about it”

    After a showroom visit the family compares photos, asks relatives and waits for the mason's view. A showroom that stays silent during that argument leaves the decision to whoever calls the family next.

  • “A quote without the extras looks cheapest”

    A quotation that leaves out skirting, adhesive, wastage and fittings looks lower than a complete one. The follow-up call is the moment to explain what a complete quote contains, before the family picks on the total.

  • “The mason's availability sets the order date”

    A family may be ready to order, but the mason starts the floor on a certain date and the tiles must arrive before it. A follow-up that asks about the work schedule catches the order the family was about to place elsewhere.

  • “Delivered orders are forgotten”

    After delivery, breakages, shade differences and missing boxes are raised late, and the showroom hears about them as complaints. A call at delivery turns those into small fixes and keeps the next room open.

What we do

What we deliver for tile, flooring and bathware dealers.

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

  1. A follow-up rule for every open quotation

    A written rule that sets who calls, what is said and when the next contact falls due, entered against each quote in the record.

    Result: No quote sits without a named person and a next call.

  2. WhatsApp messages for the family, the mason and the designer

    Short message templates for each: a thank-you after the visit, a prompt on the quote and a note when stock of the chosen tile is running low.

    Result: Each person hears from you in words that fit their part.

  3. A call script that explains the complete quote

    A brief guide for staff on walking a family through area, wastage, skirting, adhesive and fittings on the phone.

    Result: The family understands why your total is what it is.

  4. A delivery-day check

    A call or message on the day of delivery asking the mason to check boxes, shades and breakage before laying begins.

    Result: Problems reach you before the floor is laid.

  5. Lost-quote review

    A short list of quotes that did not convert, with the reason noted when the family or mason says it.

    Result: You learn where quotes are lost.

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.

What to capture or send

The moments after a quotation when a call or a message keeps the order alive.

Quotation sent to the family
A message that confirms the rooms and quantities in the quote and invites questions. Record the date sent and who will follow up.
Question from the mason
A call to the mason about the laying method and the date the site is ready. The mason's reply can change the order date, so note it in the record.
Shade or lot confirmation
A message with a photograph of the lot reserved, sent before delivery. It lets the family see the shade and avoids a dispute on arrival.
Delivery-day check
A call to the site on the day the lorry arrives, asking whether the count and breakage are correct. Record any shortfall at once.
Next-room message
A note to a family after the floor is laid, asking about the bathroom or the kitchen next. It is based on the rooms noted on the first quote.

Who it is for

This is written for these tile, flooring and bathware dealers.

  • Multi-brand tile and sanitaryware showrooms
  • Single-brand exclusive tile galleries
  • Bathware, CP fittings and bath accessories dealers
  • Wooden, laminate and vinyl flooring retailers
  • Granite, marble and natural stone dealers
  • Tile distributors supplying builders and sub-dealers
  • Premium imported tile and bathroom studios
  • Flooring retail and installation businesses

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No one is named to call after a quote is written, so reminders would sit in a list nobody checks.
  • Your quotations are verbal rates that were never written, and there is nothing to follow up on.

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.

Tell us what you need
How many times should we call after a quotation?
There is no fixed count. Call until the family gives a clear yes or no, and note the reason. The system sets a next step on every quote, so the number follows the buyer rather than a rule written in advance.
Is it rude to keep messaging a family that has not replied?
Not if each message adds something: a stock note, a delivery date or a question about the work schedule. Repeating the same quote annoys. A useful nudge tied to the project reads as service.
Who should own the follow-up, the salesperson or the owner?
The salesperson who met the family owns it, and the owner reviews the open list. That keeps the relationship with the buyer and still lets the owner step in on large quotes or builder projects.
What do we say to a family that found a lower rate elsewhere?
Compare the two quotes line by line, because a lower rate may leave out wastage, adhesive or delivery. Ask to see the other quote. If it covers the same tile and lot, say so honestly and let the family decide.
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.
