UI/UX design companies · Follow up systems

Follow up on the sprint that ended in silence, with something useful each time.

A follow-up system for a UI/UX design company is the set of reminders, messages and calls that keep a prospect moving after a portfolio review or a finished sprint. GullySales works on who follows up, what each message says, and when to stop.

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 UI/UX design companies

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

  • “The decision cycle is long and the prospect is busy”

    A founder liked the portfolio, then funding news or a release date took over. Silence is rarely rejection. A short message that adds something, such as a relevant case study, keeps the studio in mind without pressure.

  • “A chaser that asks for an update gets none”

    Messages that check in say nothing the prospect needs. A note that shares a finding from a similar product, or a question about their release plan, gives them a reason to answer.

  • “The end of a sprint is the strongest moment”

    The client has just seen their users struggle with a prototype. That is when the larger project makes sense. Waiting until the next quarter loses the urgency the sprint created.

  • “Old clients return when their product changes”

    A client who finished a project last year may be planning a new feature. A timely note about a design system or a usability review reminds them you know their product.

What we do

What we deliver for UI/UX design companies.

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

  1. Follow-up sequence per stage

    Planned messages after an enquiry, a portfolio review, a sprint and a proposal, each with a different purpose.

    Result: A set of messages ready before the call ends.

  2. Useful-add library

    A bank of short pieces to send, such as a case study, a teardown or a sample research page, matched to the prospect's product type.

    Result: Something worth reading in every follow-up.

  3. Post-sprint conversation guide

    A script for the meeting where findings are shared and the next phase is discussed.

    Result: A clear ask at the moment of greatest interest.

  4. Reminder rules

    Who gets a prompt, on what trigger, and when a deal is marked as closed lost.

    Result: No opportunity left without a next step.

  5. Past-client check-ins

    A short plan for contacting earlier clients when their product or team changes.

    Result: A routine for repeat work.

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

Each stage of a design sale has a message that gives the founder something to use.

After the portfolio review
A note with the two case studies discussed and the question the founder raised, so they can forward it to a partner.
Sprint proposal sent
A short message that names the sprint scope and the one decision still open, not a request for an answer.
Sprint ended without a reply
A message sharing one observation from the sprint that the founder can use whether or not they hire the studio.
Silent for a while
A note linked to something the founder's product did, such as a release or a funding announcement.
Project closed
A message asking for permission to write up the work, which opens a case study with the client's agreement.

Who it is for

This is written for these UI/UX design companies.

  • Product design studios for start-ups
  • Mobile app design specialists
  • Enterprise and SaaS dashboard design firms
  • Design system and component library builders
  • UX research and usability testing consultancies
  • Website and landing page design studios
  • Service design firms for banks and public bodies
  • Product design teams embedded with a client by the month

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no sprint output you can share, so a follow-up would have nothing to offer but a question.
  • You send the same reminder to every silent lead, and founders read the sameness at once.
  • Your proposals are unclear on scope, and chasing a reply will not fix a document the buyer cannot read.

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 times should we follow up?
There is no fixed number. Each message should add something, and you stop when the prospect asks you to or when you have nothing new to offer. We write the rule into your reminders so it is applied alike.
Should follow-ups go on WhatsApp or email?
Use the channel the prospect used to write to you. Proposals suit email, while a quick nudge with a link suits WhatsApp. Keep a record of where each conversation happens.
How many times should we follow up a silent founder?
Follow up while you have something new and useful to say, such as an observation on their product or a relevant case study. When you have nothing, stop and note a date to look again. A reminder with no content spends goodwill the studio needs.
Should follow-ups go on WhatsApp or email?
Use email for anything a founder may forward to a partner, such as a sprint summary or proposal, and WhatsApp for short scheduling. Match what the founder uses to reply. A proposal sent as a chat message gets lost, and a meeting time sent by email waits too long.
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.
