IoT companies · Follow up systems

Make sure every survey and pilot has a next step with a name against it.

A follow-up system for an IoT company is the set of reminders and messages that carries a lead from survey to pilot to rollout without waiting for the buyer to call back. GullySales writes the steps, the messages and the owner for each stage.

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 IoT companies

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

  • “The survey report is a follow-up moment”

    After a site visit, the buyer wants a written summary of what would be installed, what the client provides and what recurs in cost. If that arrives late, the buyer's attention has gone to the next problem.

  • “Pilots drift when nobody owns the end date”

    A pilot with no agreed review date runs on with no decision. A named review, set at the start, gives both sides a moment to say continue or stop, and the sales team a reason to call.

  • “Silence from a plant manager is not a no”

    A manager may be waiting for a budget, a shutdown window or a signature from an owner in another city. A follow-up that asks which of those is pending finds out more than one that asks if they are still interested.

What we do

What we deliver for IoT companies.

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

  1. Post-survey summary template

    A written template covering devices proposed, client requirements, recurring costs and next step.

    Result: Each survey ends with a written note the buyer can pass to the owner.

  2. Pilot review schedule

    A review date and agenda set at the start of each pilot, with what is measured and who attends.

    Result: Every pilot has an agreed moment to decide.

  3. Stalled-lead questions

    A short set of questions for quiet leads, asking what is pending and who decides.

    Result: The team learns the reason for silence instead of guessing.

  4. Message set for calls and chats

    Short messages for each stage in English and the regional language, ready to send from a phone.

    Result: The team sends consistent messages without writing each from scratch.

  5. Task ownership rules

    A rule that every open lead has one named person and one dated next step.

    Result: No lead sits without an owner or a next step.

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

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 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.

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 follow up?
Follow up as long as the buyer has a live loss and has not said no. Vary the reason for each contact: a survey summary, a question, a site visit invitation. A repeated nudge with nothing new reads as pressure.
Should follow-ups be automated?
Use reminders for the team and automate only plain confirmations. A buyer deciding on a pilot expects a person. GullySales sets up the reminders and templates, and leaves the judgement calls to your staff.
What if the buyer asks for a discount at follow-up?
Return to the pilot terms and the recurring costs written earlier. Pricing decisions are yours. GullySales can prepare a short note on how to respond so the team gives the same answer every time.
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.
