IT hardware resellers and system integrators · WhatsApp marketing

Take the quotation request on WhatsApp and keep the thread for the AMC.

WhatsApp marketing for an IT hardware reseller means using the channel where IT managers already send requirements to receive requests, send quotes and remind clients of contract dates. GullySales works on the business account set-up, the message templates and the consent record.

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

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 IT hardware resellers and system integrators

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

  • “IT managers forward the specification on WhatsApp”

    A requirement arrives as a photo of a list or a forwarded email. A business number with a prompt asking for make, quantity and city captures what the buyer sent.

  • “A personal number loses the history”

    When a salesperson leaves, the thread leaves too. A business account with shared access keeps the quote history with the company.

  • “Service calls arrive as photos and voice notes”

    A client sends a picture of an error screen. A routine for logging the message as a service request keeps it from being lost in a chat.

  • “Broadcasts need consent”

    Sending a promotion to everyone in a phone book annoys the client. Message only those who agreed, and offer a plain way to stop.

What we do

What we deliver for IT hardware resellers and system integrators.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business account set-up

    Profile, catalogue of product types, hours, a greeting and quick replies matched to quote and service requests.

    Result: A buyer sees a business, not a personal number.

  2. Message templates for quotes and reminders

    Approved wording for sending a quote, a delivery note and an AMC renewal reminder.

    Result: Messages are consistent and recorded.

  3. A consent record

    A list of contacts who agreed to receive updates, with the date and the topic, kept with the CRM.

    Result: Broadcasts go only to those who agreed.

  4. A rule for moving chats into the CRM

    A step where each quote request and service message is logged against the account.

    Result: Nothing important stays only in a chat.

  5. A hand-off for service requests

    A route for a message that is a fault report to reach the service desk with the details needed.

    Result: Faults are not buried under sales chat.

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

Take the quotation request on WhatsApp and keep the thread for the AMC.

Specification photo or list
A buyer sends a photo of a model label or a typed list, and the salesperson replies with a quote reference and a date.
Quote document
A PDF with the validity date at the top, sent from the company number so the buyer can find it later.
Engineer visit confirmation
A message with the engineer's name, photo and the time window, which reassures the office manager.
Fault ticket number
A reply after a fault report, with a ticket number and the name of the engineer assigned.
AMC renewal notice
A message to the contact on record before the contract end, with the renewal quote attached.

Who it is for

This is written for these IT hardware resellers and system integrators.

  • Laptop, desktop and workstation resellers for businesses
  • Server, storage and backup resellers
  • Networking, Wi-Fi and firewall integrators
  • Structured cabling and network rollout firms
  • Surveillance, access control and IT combined integrators
  • Printer, copier and managed print dealers
  • Government and public-sector empanelled suppliers
  • AMC and break-fix support providers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Salespeople use personal numbers and the threads sit on their phones, so the company loses the AMC history when they leave.
  • You would send bulk offers to a purchased company list, who never asked to hear from you.
  • You have no agreed route for urgent faults, so a message at night would wait until morning without anyone saying so.

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.

Can we send AMC reminders on WhatsApp?
Yes, to clients who have agreed to receive them, using the platform's approved message types. Check the platform's current rules for business messaging and keep the consent on record.
Should salespeople use their own numbers?
Prefer a business account with shared access, so the history stays with the company. If personal numbers are used, copy each thread into the CRM after each working session.
Is a chatbot suitable for a reseller?
It can collect make, quantity and city before a salesperson takes over. It should not quote prices or answer technical questions unless those answers are checked and current.
Can we send AMC reminders on WhatsApp?
Yes, to contacts who gave their number for service and agreed to messages. A reminder works because the client already knows you and the contract date matters to them. Check the platform's current business rules, and keep a record of consent.
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.
