Use WhatsApp for the conversations a software buyer wants to have in a hurry.

WhatsApp marketing for a software development company means using the app to answer enquiries, share case study links and keep client conversations moving, within the platform's rules. GullySales builds the message templates, the labelling habit and the hand-off to your CRM, with the buyer's consent as the starting point.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For software development companies

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

  • “Indian SME buyers prefer a message to a form”

    A distributor or a clinic owner looking for a system will send a WhatsApp message after seeing a post or a referral. They want a person to answer. A website with only an email form loses that owner to a firm that listed a business number.

  • “Technical reviewers do not want a chat for scope”

    A CTO weighing your architecture needs a document and a call, not a thread of forwarded voice notes. WhatsApp suits scheduling, quick questions and sharing links. Scope, pricing and contract terms should move to email so the record is clean.

  • “Client groups blur the line between support and scope”

    A shared group with a client is convenient and fills up with small requests that never reach the project plan. Set a rule on what the group is for and where change requests go, otherwise free work accumulates.

  • “Broadcast messages to strangers damage a small firm's name”

    Sending bulk promotions to scraped numbers leads to blocks and complaints. Message people who have asked to hear from you, tell them what to expect, and check the platform's current rules before any broadcast.

What we do

What we deliver for software development companies.

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

  1. A business profile and a first-reply script

    A set-up WhatsApp Business profile with catalogue-style descriptions of your services, and a reply script that asks for the problem, the domain and the decision date.

    Result: A new enquirer gets a clear first reply from a person.

  2. Message templates for common moments

    Short, editable messages for call reminders, document sharing and post-launch check-ins, written so the buyer can reply in a line.

    Result: The team stops retyping the same messages.

  3. Labelling and CRM hand-off

    A labelling scheme in the app and a routine for logging each conversation into the CRM with its next action.

    Result: No enquiry lives only on one phone.

  4. Client group rules

    A short note for each client group stating its purpose, who answers and where change requests are raised.

    Result: Requests reach the plan instead of disappearing into chat.

  5. Opt-in routine for updates

    A method for asking clients and prospects whether they want occasional updates, with a record of who agreed.

    Result: You message only people who said yes.

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

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Is a WhatsApp Business account enough for a software firm?
For enquiries and follow-up, yes. It gives a business profile, labels and quick replies. Larger programmes of broadcast messages need the platform's business API and a provider; check the platform's current rules before planning that.
Should we put contracts and quotes on WhatsApp?
Share a link to the proposal if it helps, but keep the agreement, scope and change requests in email or your project tool. WhatsApp is hard to search months later, and a clean record protects both sides.
Can we reach overseas buyers on WhatsApp?
Some buyers, especially in the Gulf, prefer it. Ask the prospect which channel they use rather than assuming, and keep a written follow-up by email for anything contractual.
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 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.
