Telecom and broadband providers · Follow up systems

Call back every enquiry, every feasibility result and every install date until the line is live.

A follow-up system for a broadband provider is the set of fixed steps that keeps an enquiry moving from first contact through feasibility, KYC and installation without waiting on one person's memory. GullySales works on those steps, the owner of each and the record that shows where an enquiry has stalled.

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

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 telecom and broadband providers

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

  • “The family signs with whoever calls back first”

    A household that has just moved wants a connection soon and rings several providers. The one that returns the call with a clear yes or no on the address is the one the family hears from again. A silence of a day reads as a no.

  • “A feasibility answer that needs a technician stalls the whole enquiry”

    The sales person cannot promise an install until a field check is done, and the field team is busy elsewhere. Without a follow-up step on the pending check, the buyer is left with no answer and moves on.

  • “KYC documents arrive in pieces”

    The buyer sends an ID photo on WhatsApp, an address proof the next day and a signature after a reminder. If nobody tracks which document is missing, the installation date slips because the file is incomplete.

  • “A completed install is not the end of the follow-up”

    The first week after installation is when a weak signal or a router fault shows up. A check call at that point catches it before the household posts about it in the society group.

What we do

What we deliver for telecom and broadband providers.

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

  1. A follow-up ladder from enquiry to installation

    A set of steps with an owner for each stage: first reply, feasibility, quotation, KYC, installation date and first-week check.

    Result: Every open enquiry shows a next step and a name.

  2. Feasibility tracking with a pending list

    A list of addresses awaiting a field check, with the date asked and who is responsible for the answer.

    Result: No address waits without an owner.

  3. Document checklist for KYC

    A checklist of the documents needed, sent to the buyer once and ticked off as each arrives.

    Result: You can see which document is missing for each file.

  4. Reply scripts for the common cases

    Short messages for no coverage, coverage confirmed, plan questions, price comparison and a buyer gone silent.

    Result: Staff answer the usual cases with the same clear wording.

  5. Silent-lead rules

    A rule for how many attempts to make on a buyer who has gone quiet and when to mark the enquiry closed with a reason.

    Result: Closed enquiries carry a recorded reason.

  6. A first-week check after installation

    A call or message after installation to confirm the signal, the router and the buyer's satisfaction.

    Result: Faults are caught before they become public complaints.

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 between an enquiry and a live line that need a message or a call.

Acknowledgement of the enquiry
A message confirming the address and plan asked for, with the name of the person handling it. The household knows the enquiry is not lost.
Feasibility pending
A line on the shared list for each address waiting on the field engineer. It shows which enquiries are stuck and with whom.
Documents requested
A checklist of identity and address papers, sent with a photo example of what is acceptable. Pieces arrive in one go, not across several calls.
Installation date set
A message with the date, the technician's name and what to keep ready. The household and the team have the same record.
First-week check
A call or message after installation asking whether the line works as expected. It catches faults before they reach a review.
Move-house offer
A note to an existing customer who is relocating, offering a transfer if the new address is served. It keeps a customer who would otherwise leave.

Who it is for

This is written for these telecom and broadband providers.

  • Local fibre broadband providers
  • Cable TV and broadband operators
  • ISP franchise partners and sub-operators
  • Leased line and enterprise connectivity resellers
  • Wi-Fi providers for PGs, hostels and coworking spaces
  • Providers serving apartments and gated communities
  • Providers selling TV and OTT bundles with broadband

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No one owns the feasibility list, and a follow-up ladder would still stall on every address waiting for a technician.
  • The sales team will not make calls beyond the first, so the ladder would stop at the first step.
  • You cannot confirm installation dates, and a reminder would set a date the provider cannot keep.

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.

How long should we keep following up a silent enquiry?
Set the number of attempts and the gap between them as a team rule, write it down and keep to it. Record the reason when you close. Where no network exists at the address, stop and keep the address for expansion planning.
Who should own the feasibility follow-up?
One named person, not the whole sales team. That person asks the field team for each pending address and gives the sales person the answer to pass on. When the field team is the bottleneck, the pending list shows it.
Does a follow-up system need special software?
No. A shared sheet with a status column and a next-action date is enough to begin. A CRM becomes useful when the number of enquiries is more than one person can track, and the same steps move across to it.
What should we tell a household still waiting for a feasibility result?
Tell them what is pending and who is checking, and say you will call when it is known. A promise of a date you cannot keep costs the sale more than a plain answer. Record the pending address so the field team sees it on the list.
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.
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.
