Weight management clinics · Follow up systems

Write to the patient who missed a visit before the silence becomes a goodbye.

A follow-up system for a weight management clinic is the set of written messages and calls that go to an enquirer who has not booked and to a patient who has missed a visit. GullySales drafts the wording, sets the triggers and gives the team a list to work from.

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 weight management clinics

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

  • “The first absence is the moment”

    A patient who skips the third appointment is not necessarily saying they are done. They are embarrassed, busy or discouraged. A kind note from the dietitian that same day reopens the door, and silence from the clinic confirms the patient's doubt.

  • “The enquirer who asked the price”

    Someone who called for the fee and went quiet is still deciding. A message that restates what the consultation includes, with a booking link and no pressure, answers the doubt the number created.

  • “Follow-up that sounds like debt collection”

    A patient who missed a payment or a visit and receives a stern reminder will leave. The wording needs warmth and a plain next step, written so the person feels welcome back.

  • “Nobody owns the list”

    Follow-up fails when it is everyone's job. One person must hold the list of missed visits and pending enquiries and mark each contact, or the list ages without being read.

What we do

What we deliver for weight management clinics.

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

  1. A missed-visit message set

    Short messages for a first missed visit, a repeated absence and a lapsed programme, each with the dietitian's name.

    Result: The desk has wording approved by the practitioner.

  2. An unbooked-enquiry sequence

    Messages for people who enquired and did not book, restating the visit and offering a slot.

    Result: Every enquiry gets a written follow-up that matches its stage.

  3. A call script for the dietitian

    A short outline for a check-in call, with questions about the patient's week and what is hard.

    Result: The practitioner makes the call with a clear shape.

  4. A follow-up list with an owner

    A view in the CRM or sheet showing who needs contact, with a name against each.

    Result: One person can see and clear the list.

  5. Opt-out and consent wording

    A line recording that the patient agrees to messages and can stop them.

    Result: The clinic only messages people who agreed.

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.

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 follow up systems work runs

  1. 1

    Measure today's reply time

    From last month's enquiries, we measure how long each waited for a first reply and how many follow-ups it 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

    Set up templates, tasks and ownership

    Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.

  4. 4

    Track and adjust every month

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept.

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.

How many follow-ups are too many?
That is for the clinic to set with the practitioner. We recommend that a patient who asks to stop is not contacted again, and that each message offers something useful, not only a reminder.
Should follow-up come from the doctor or the desk?
The first absence note works best from the dietitian or doctor the patient knows. The desk handles scheduling. We draft both so the voice stays consistent.
Can we automate the messages?
Where it fits, yes, through WhatsApp Business or CRM tools, with consent. The wording stays personal, and a human reads replies. Check the platform's current rules on automated messages.
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.
