Tile, flooring and bathware dealers · Reputation management

Answer the review about a shade that did not match the second lot.

Reputation for a tile and bathware dealer is what a family reads on Maps before driving over, and what a mason says when a customer asks. GullySales builds the review request into delivery, drafts replies to the complaints this trade actually gets, and watches every listing your name sits on.

What reputation management means

Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

For tile, flooring and bathware dealers

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

  • “Shade variation is the complaint you will get”

    Two lots of the same design never match exactly, and the family finds out when the last bedroom is laid. Saying so at the counter costs less than answering it in public.

  • “A late lorry reads worse than a high rate”

    Tiles arriving the day after the mason was booked cost you more visits than a rival being cheaper by five rupees a square foot.

  • “The mason's verdict never appears on Google”

    A mason tells families which dealer gives trouble at unloading, and there is nowhere to reply to that. It is earned at the godown, not online.

  • “Reviews arrive a season after the sale”

    A family buys at the flooring stage and moves in months later. The review comes when the house is finished, so the request has to wait for it.

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 review request timed to the finished floor

    A message sent after installation rather than after billing, with the link ready and a note of which rooms were done.

    Result: Reviews describe the floor, not the invoice.

  2. Replies written for the complaints this trade gets

    Wording prepared for shade variation between lots, breakage in transit, a delayed delivery and a fitting that leaked, ready to go up the same week.

    Result: The public answer is calm and in your own words.

  3. Lot and shade expectations put in writing

    A line on the quotation and a note at the counter about lot numbers, natural shade variation and how much extra to take, agreed before packing.

    Result: Fewer arguments ever reach Google.

  4. Alerts on the showroom name and the brands

    Notifications for Google, JustDial, IndiaMART and the common misspellings of your showroom name.

    Result: A complaint is seen while it is still worth answering.

  5. A cause written against every complaint

    A short record after every complaint saying whether the cause was the lot, the lorry, the plumber or the quotation.

    Result: The delivery problem gets fixed in the godown.

  6. What the ratings did this month

    New reviews, the rating, which orders produced them and what the complaints were really about, read beside the position at the start.

    Result: A pattern shows up while it is still fixable.

How the result is measured

  • Average rating
  • Response time to reviews
  • Negative mentions resolved

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to do with each review

How to answer each kind of review a tile and bathware dealer gets.

Praise for the showroom
Thank the family and name the room they finished, such as the kitchen floor. Invite them to send a photograph if they wish. Do not offer a discount in return.
Shade or lot mismatch
Reply with the batch number printed on the invoice. Check that every bill records the lot, and that you advised the customer to order a spare box from the same lot before the mason starts.
Breakage on delivery
Apologise and say what your policy is for damaged boxes. Check that the delivery sheet is signed with a count of boxes, and that the driver reports breakage on the spot.
Not delivered on the mason's day
Say what happened, and who the customer should ring next time. Check the stock the day before delivery. A mason waiting on the site is a customer you can lose.
Wastage and quantity complaint
Reply that the quote showed the quantity per room with allowance for cutting. Check that your room-by-room quote notes the pattern, since diagonal and large-format laying use more tile.
Review about a mason you recommended
Say that you recommend fitters but they work on their own account. Check what you tell the customer at billing, and whether your recommendation list is written down.

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.

  • You have no routine to find the cause of a shade or breakage complaint, so a polite reply would repeat a fault that returns.
  • The owner will not reply in public, and a review request would bring in complaints that stay unanswered.

How it works

How the reputation management 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

    Search your name as a stranger would

    We search the business, its main product names and the owner's name, on a phone and a laptop, and record what appears.

  2. 2

    Catalogue every mention

    Reviews, news, listings, social posts and forum threads are sorted into accurate and positive, accurate and negative, and wrong. Each group gets a different action.

  3. 3

    Agree the replies and the owner of each

    Replies are drafted and approved by you. Anything involving a refund, a clinical matter, a legal claim or a named employee goes to the right person in your business before anything is posted.

  4. 4

    Fix what you control

    Listings, profile details and your own pages are corrected, and pages worth ranking for your name are strengthened with accurate information.

  5. 5

    Monitor and report

    The agreed places are checked on the agreed schedule. The name search is repeated and compared with the first record.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  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

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    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
A customer blames us for a tap the plumber fitted badly. What do we reply?
Say what you supplied, what the brand warranty covers and offer to inspect it with the service engineer. A reply that names the process reads as competence to the next family. Arguing about the plumber does not.
Which customers should we ask for a review?
The ones whose floor was laid without an argument and who said so at handover. A dealer who chases everybody collects a thin page and irritates people still waiting on a balance delivery.
A customer says a tile sounds hollow after fixing. What do we reply?
Say the sound usually points to fixing and not to the tile, and offer a visit with the fitter. Do not blame the mason in public. Check that the customer was told the adhesive and the fixing method, and note it on the bill.
A builder's site engineer wrote about our credit terms. Do we reply?
Yes, briefly. State that terms are agreed in writing at the time of the order and invite a call. Do not discuss the builder's account in public. Check that your credit terms are written and signed for every builder account.
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.
