IT services and networking companies · Email marketing

Send the licence review before the renewal date decides it for you.

Email is where an IT firm protects its recurring revenue, because renewals, licence counts and service summaries all belong in writing to the person who signs. GullySales builds the renewal calendar into a mail routine, writes the summary each client gets, and brings back the offices you have not visited in a year.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For IT services and networking companies

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

“A renewal that arrives as an invoice feels like a tax”
The same renewal arriving as a review of the year's calls, with the licence count checked, reads as a service.
“Your quietest clients are the ones about to leave”
No calls for six months does not mean everything is fine. It means nobody there remembers your name.
“Mailbox counts drift all year”
People leave, accounts stay live, and a client pays for seats nobody uses. Checking that before renewal buys you a great deal of goodwill.

What we do

What we deliver for IT services and networking companies.

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

Renewal mails at sixty and thirty days
Every contract, warranty and licence date in one calendar, with a mail at sixty days carrying the review and one at thirty days carrying the decision.
Result: Renewals are agreed before the expiry date arrives.
A service summary to each client
Calls attended, average response time, what is still open and what needs budget next quarter, sent to the person who signs rather than the person who logs the calls.
Result: The signer sees what they are paying for.
A licence count review before the cloud renewal
A short mail listing active mailboxes, dormant accounts and the seats that can be dropped or need adding, sent ahead of the subscription date.
Result: The client trusts your next recommendation.
A reactivation note for one-off clients
Two mails to the offices you fixed once and never heard from again, opening on what was wrong that day and what has changed since.
Result: Old call-outs come back as contracts.
A clean list with consent recorded
Contacts kept current as people change jobs, consent noted, a working unsubscribe and bounces cleared so client mails keep arriving.
Result: Your mail reaches the inbox that matters.

What must be in place first

What an IT services firm needs in place before it mails clients and prospects.

A client list with the right signatory: Record who actually signs renewals, usually the owner or finance head, not only the person who calls about the printer. Mail the signatory for contracts and the user for service notes.
Consent captured at onboarding: Under India's data protection law you should be able to show who agreed to be contacted, and for what. Put a permission line in the AMC form or onboarding sheet and store the date with the address.
A sending domain set up properly: Have SPF, DKIM and DMARC records set on your own domain before bulk sending. An IT firm whose mail lands in spam loses credibility along with the message.
Segments by contract and by licence: Separate AMC clients, one-off project clients, and clients with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace licences. Each group needs a different reminder.
An opt-out that leaves service mail alone: Offer a clear unsubscribe on newsletters and offers, but keep security advisories and renewal notices as a service list. Say so plainly in the footer.
A reply path that reaches the helpdesk: Replies should create a ticket or reach an engineer, not a founder's inbox. A client writing about a failed backup must not wait on a mailing tool address.

Who it is for

This is written for these IT services and networking companies.

Managed IT service providers for small offices
Structured cabling and LAN and Wi-Fi installers
Network security and firewall specialists
Server, storage and backup solution providers
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace partners
IT hardware system integrators

IT firms serving schools, hospitals and factories

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

Your client list lives in engineers' phones and no one has recorded who agreed to receive email from you.
There is no AMC or renewal date on record for any client, so there is nothing specific to write to them about.

How it works

How the email 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
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.
2
Audit past sends
We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.
3
Segment and plan
The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.
4
Write and set up
Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.
5
Measure and adjust
We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

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.

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.
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.
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

Should renewal reminders go by email or WhatsApp?

Email carries the record, and a WhatsApp line saying the mail has been sent gets it read. The signature and the numbers belong in writing.

Can we email a bought list of companies in our area?

It is a poor trade. Bought lists bounce, complaints hurt your sending domain, and then your own clients stop receiving your service mails.

Should we email a firm we have only met once at a networking event?

Send one personal note within your own routine, mentioning the conversation, with a way to say no. A card handed over is not agreement to a mailing list. Add them only if they reply or ask to be kept informed.

Do clients read a newsletter from their IT vendor?

Rarely a general one. Short mails about something that touches them, such as a licence due, a patch that matters to their software or a backup that failed, get read. Write one-to-one service mail first and add a newsletter only when you have something useful to say.

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.
