GIS and geospatial service companies · WhatsApp marketing

Send the sample map link on WhatsApp and keep survey data off the chat.

WhatsApp for a geospatial firm suits sharing a sample, fixing a meeting and answering a private buyer quickly. GullySales sets a business profile, message templates and a rule on what survey or client data must never be sent there.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

For GIS and geospatial service companies

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

  • “Field teams and offices use it daily”

    Surveyors, site contacts and department staff already use WhatsApp. It is convenient for meeting points and photos of the schedule, and it is risky for data.

  • “Survey data is sensitive”

    Coordinates, plot maps and asset details do not belong in chat. A written rule that files go through controlled channels protects the firm and the client.

  • “Samples travel well”

    A link to a sample sheet or a web map opens on a phone. A short message with the link and one line on what to look at gets used.

  • “Consent applies to lists”

    Messaging private buyers or contacts without permission harms trust. Collect consent and state what will be sent.

What we do

What we deliver for GIS and geospatial service companies.

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

  1. Business profile

    A profile with the firm's description, hours and links to samples.

    Result: A contact sees who the firm is.

  2. Use rule

    A one-page rule on what is sent on WhatsApp and what is not.

    Result: Staff and clients know the boundary.

  3. Sample link messages

    Approved messages that share a sample and ask about area and format.

    Result: Private enquiries get a ready reply.

  4. Consent capture

    A line on forms and cards asking permission to message.

    Result: Contacts have agreed.

  5. Number policy

    A decision on which numbers are used for client chats and how they are logged.

    Result: Chats stay under the firm's control.

  6. Chat logging

    A rule that business chats are noted on the CRM record.

    Result: Conversations are not trapped on phones.

  7. Field-team etiquette note

    A short note for surveyors and site coordinators on what photos may be shared, which groups are for scheduling only and when a message must be followed by a mail to the client.

    Result: Site chats stay about logistics, not data.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

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

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing 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

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

Can we send maps on WhatsApp?
Sample maps built from open or the firm's own data, yes. Client data and survey outputs, no. Use a controlled share for those, agree the route with the client in writing and remember that a photo of a screen is still the data.
Do departments accept WhatsApp?
Some use it for coordination, but formal communication follows their rules. Ask the office and follow the stricter rule.
Should we use the Business API?
Not for a small number of chats. A larger flow of enquiries might justify it, which GullySales can assess with you.
What if a client asks for the final files on WhatsApp?
Decline politely and offer the controlled share the contract names. A chat copy sits on several phones and cannot be withdrawn, and the firm answers for where the data went. Keep the refusal wording in the saved replies.
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.
