Use WhatsApp for the quick questions between calls, with permission and with care.

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 cloud consulting companies

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

  • “Founders reply on WhatsApp first”

    A founder or finance head may ignore an email for days and answer a short message at once. For scheduling a scoping call or sending a requested document, the app is the quicker route, provided the buyer has agreed to it.

  • “Technical details do not belong in a chat”

    Architecture drawings, invoices and access details are sensitive. A chat is for arranging, nudging and confirming. Documents go through the channel your client's security team accepts.

  • “Group chats can become a project's memory”

    A client team and your architects in one group can answer small questions quickly, but decisions get lost in the scroll. Agree that anything important is confirmed in writing afterwards.

  • “Broadcasts need permission”

    Sending the same message to a list of past clients without their consent damages trust. Ask first, state what you will send and give an easy way to stop.

What we do

What we deliver for cloud consulting companies.

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

  1. Use guide for the firm

    A short guide on when WhatsApp suits a message, what must never be sent on it and who may use it with clients.

    Result: Clear rules for architects and sales staff.

  2. Business profile set-up

    Set-up of a WhatsApp Business profile with the firm's name, description and working hours.

    Result: A profile a buyer can recognise as the firm.

  3. Message templates for scheduling and confirming

    Short messages for confirming a scoping call, sharing a document request and thanking a sponsor after a closing session.

    Result: Messages that sound like people and carry one purpose.

  4. Consent record

    A note in the CRM of who has agreed to messages, for what purpose and when.

    Result: A list that shows permission for each contact.

  5. Platform contact etiquette note

    A short note on how to use messaging with platform account managers without crowding them.

    Result: Platform contacts hear from you when you have something specific.

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.

What to capture or send

What a cloud consultancy should and should not send on WhatsApp.

Call and meeting confirmations
Send the time, the link and who will attend. It suits founders who read WhatsApp before email, and the architect can send it from the firm's business number.
A request for read-only access
Send a line that points to the instructions in an email. Never ask for credentials in a chat, and say so in the message.
A reminder to share the bill export
A short message naming the file you need and from where. It saves a long email thread for a task the buyer can do in a few minutes.
The assessment ready for review
Tell the buyer the report is available and book the session. The report itself goes by the secure route agreed in the contract.
Opted-in event invitations
Invite only contacts who asked to hear about events, with the date and topic. Include how to stop receiving them.
Project group messages
Agree the purpose of any client group at the start: scheduling only, with decisions confirmed in email. A group becomes the project record by default if not.

Who it is for

This is written for these cloud consulting companies.

  • AWS partners and consultants
  • Microsoft Azure partners and migration specialists
  • Google Cloud partners and data platform advisers
  • Cloud cost optimisation and review specialists
  • Cloud security and architecture review firms
  • Data centre exit and migration advisers
  • Multi-cloud and hybrid strategy consultants
  • Landing zone and cloud governance advisers for larger firms

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your clients' policies bar chat tools for work communication, and a message there could breach them.
  • Everyone at the firm uses personal numbers, so a client conversation would leave with the person who holds the phone.

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

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

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.

Tell us what you need
Can we send promotional broadcasts?
Only to people who have agreed to receive them, and check the platform's current rules before you start. We prefer one-to-one messages tied to a conversation already under way.
Should clients be added to project groups?
Only if the client proposes it and its security team agrees. Keep sensitive data out of the group and confirm decisions by email afterwards.
Can we share a report by WhatsApp?
No. Reports carry account details and should go through the secure route in your contract. Send a message that the report is ready and where to find it, which keeps client data out of a chat app with no access control.
Which numbers should buyers message?
A business number linked to the firm, shared by a small team. Staff leave and phones are lost, so a buyer who messages an architect's personal number may lose the thread when that person moves on.
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.
