Sports coaching academies · WhatsApp marketing

Answer the parent on the app they already use for school and fees.

WhatsApp marketing for a sports academy is the use of chat for enquiries, trial bookings, batch notices and reminders to parents. GullySales works on the business profile, reply templates and consent rules that keep it useful and respectful.

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 sports coaching academies

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

  • “Parents ask on WhatsApp because it is already open”

    A parent checking school circulars sees the academy number and sends a message there. An academy that replies with a fee list and nothing more has answered a question and ignored the person. A reply that proposes a trial slot continues the conversation.

  • “One coach's personal number is a risk”

    When enquiries come to a coach's own phone, they are lost if the coach leaves or the phone changes. A business number, shared with a coordinator, keeps the history with the academy and not the individual.

  • “Batch groups mix announcements and chatter”

    A parents' group used for timing changes, jokes and forwards trains everyone to mute it. A broadcast list for notices, kept separate from parents' own discussion, means a notice about a cancelled session is actually read.

  • “Adding a parent without asking is a mistake”

    Putting a number into a group or a broadcast list without agreement irritates the parent and may breach the platform's rules. Opt-in through a form or a first message, and an easy way out, protects the academy's number.

What we do

What we deliver for sports coaching academies.

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

  1. Business profile set-up

    A profile with the academy's name, ground address, hours, a catalogue of sports and batches and a short description.

    Result: A parent sees a proper academy and not a personal number.

  2. Reply templates

    Saved answers for fee, timing, age, kit and trial booking, written in the academy's voice.

    Result: Common questions are answered the same way every time.

  3. Notice list and group rules

    A separate list for announcements and a written code of conduct for parents' groups.

    Result: Important notices are not buried under chatter.

  4. Consent and opt-out

    A simple way for parents to agree to messages and to stop them, recorded against the family.

    Result: The academy can show how each parent joined.

  5. Trial booking flow

    A short exchange that asks age, sport, school timing and preferred day, then confirms a trial slot.

    Result: A chat enquiry becomes a booked trial.

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.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can we send bulk messages to all enquiries?
Only to people who have agreed to hear from you, and within the platform's current rules, which you should check. We design messages around consent so the number is not restricted.
Do we need the paid business API?
A small academy starts with the free business app and templates. The API suits larger set-ups sending bulk notices, and we explain the cost before you decide.
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.
