Accounting software providers · Follow up systems

Reach the trial user before the trial is forgotten.

A follow-up system for an accounting software provider is the set of messages, calls and reminders that carry a person from trial to payment and then to renewal. GullySales works on who is contacted, with what words, and what each reply triggers.

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 accounting software providers

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

  • “Trials die in silence”

    A trader installs on a quiet afternoon, then a rush of customers arrives and the software is never opened again. A message that names the next step, such as importing the opening balance, restarts the trial where it stopped.

  • “Messages should differ by role”

    The owner needs a note on cost and support. The munim needs a shortcut sheet. The CA needs an export sample. One generic reminder sent to everyone is read by no one.

  • “Return due dates are natural prompts”

    A reminder before a filing date, tied to a feature that makes that return easier, is useful rather than pushy. Sales messages that ignore the tax calendar compete with the shop's busiest days.

  • “Renewal messages need a human tone”

    A licence note that reads like a system notice gets ignored. A short message from a named support person who recalls the last issue gets a reply and sometimes a payment.

What we do

What we deliver for accounting software providers.

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

  1. A trial sequence by event

    Messages triggered by install, first invoice, import done or silence.

    Result: Each trial state has a defined next message.

  2. Role-based message sets

    Separate texts for owner, munim and CA.

    Result: A message set per role.

  3. Calendar-linked nudges

    Notes timed to return due dates and the financial year end.

    Result: A written calendar of prompts tied to the tax year.

  4. A renewal script

    A short, personal note and a call outline for the licence due date.

    Result: Renewal contact is written as a person speaking.

  5. A lost-trial survey

    One question to those who stopped, asking what blocked them.

    Result: You receive reasons, not guesses.

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

Moments in a software trial that call for a message.

Trial started, no bill created
A short message from a person offering to sit through the first bill together. Name the trade so it does not read as a bulk notice.
First bill printed
A note that confirms the print layout and asks if the owner wants the logo or GST line changed. It builds a small win.
Return due date approaching
A reminder for the shop that has entered sales but not yet exported the return file. Offer help, not a sales push.
Data imported from the old software
A check-in from the support lead asking whether the ledgers match. This is where doubt about migration is settled or grows.
Licence renewal falling due
A message from the account owner that names the version and the modules in use, with a payment link and a phone option.

Who it is for

This is written for these accounting software providers.

  • Desktop accounting software vendors competing with Tally and Busy
  • Cloud accounting and GST billing apps for small businesses
  • Billing software for pharmacies, grocery and retail counters
  • Accounting products for wholesalers, traders and distributors
  • Software for contractors, builders and project businesses
  • Products built for CAs managing many client books
  • Dealer and reseller networks selling a single accounting product
  • E-invoicing and GST filing tool vendors

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no one to take the call when a reply arrives, so a sequence would collect questions and leave them unanswered.
  • Your trial has no reliable usage signal, so messages would go to people who have already bought and irritate them.
  • You are still changing the product screens, so a guide-led follow-up would point to buttons that no longer exist.

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 follow-ups are too many?
Stop when the person replies or says no. Count the steps in the sequence by the number of useful things to say. If you have run out, stop.
Should follow-up be on WhatsApp or email?
Use the channel the person used to reach you, with permission. Shopkeepers answer WhatsApp. Accountants prefer email for attachments.
Can the sequence run without a person?
Parts can. The first prompts can be automated, but a trial that stalls at migration needs a call from someone who knows the product.
What if the owner never replies but the munim is active?
Message the munim about the work, not the purchase. They are the one using the screen, and their questions show where the product sticks. Pass what you learn to the owner in a short note, since the owner pays and wants to hear it from you.
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.
