Employer branding · Retail and consumer

Your showroom is out on the ring road, and the commute is the first sum a candidate does.

Employer branding for a furniture chain covers a showroom consultant who closes a sale across three visits and an assembly crew who carry the brand into a customer's home. GullySales writes the careers page, the role posts and the material for the crew nobody ever writes about.

A colliery lamp room seen from the counter: the roller shutter half up over a deep hatch, rows of cap lamps and their batteries hanging on hooks in the recess behind it, a rack of self-rescuers on the wall above, and a check-board of pegs beside the hatch with a single brass tally hanging on it where a lamp has gone out

Where this sits

For furniture retail chains

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

  • Where the store sits decides who can take the job

    Big-format furniture stores are on the outskirts, on a highway or in a warehouse belt. A candidate reads the address and calculates two hours a day before reading anything else.

  • A consultant's month is nothing like a fast retail month

    The customer measures, goes home, argues with a spouse and comes back twice. Somebody arriving from a mobile phone counter finds the pace unrecognisable and leaves.

  • The fitters carry your brand into a living room and nobody has written a word about them

    Delivery, assembly and modular installation are where a five-lakh order is made or ruined, and those carpenters are usually hired through a contractor with no induction at all.

  • Weekends are the working days and the page should say it once, plainly

    Saturday and Sunday are when families shop for a sofa. Anyone who wants those days free is applying to the wrong business and should find out from the page.

What we do

What we deliver for furniture retail chains.

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

  1. A careers page that answers the commute

    Store and warehouse locations, shift timings, weekend working, and the transport or allowance where you provide one.

    Result: A candidate three suburbs away self-selects before you both waste an interview.

  2. How a consultant earns across a long cycle

    What the incentive is paid on, when a deferred delivery counts, and what a normal month looks like in visits and conversions, taken from your commercial team.

    Result: The pay conversation happens once, on paper, not in the third week.

  3. Posts for consultant, modular designer and store manager

    Separate posts naming the design and measurement software, the site visits, and the drawing work a modular kitchen role involves.

    Result: Design applicants stop being screened out as floor staff.

  4. Delivery and assembly crew material

    Posts written for carpenters and fitters, naming the work, the tools provided, the travel and the training on your own products, in the language the trade reads.

    Result: Installation teams are hired directly instead of borrowed every season.

  5. Warehouse and backroom roles

    Stock, despatch and quality-check roles at the warehouse, described as the physical jobs they are, with the shift and the site named.

    Result: Warehouse vacancies stop being an afterthought on the store page.

  6. Store opening hiring kit

    Hoarding lines for the site while it is under fit-out, notices for the layouts nearby, and posts for a city where you have no showroom yet.

    Result: A new showroom opens with a floor that has been trained.

How the result is measured

  • Applications received per open role
  • Careers page engagement and time on page
  • Candidate drop-off during the interview process
  • Referral hires as a share of total hires

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

How it works

From your first message to the first monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · Within a few working days

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

  3. 03 · Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

How the work runs for furniture retail chains

  1. 1

    Talk to current employees

    We interview a cross-section of staff honestly, including some who might raise uncomfortable points.

  2. 2

    Find the genuine reasons to join

    We identify what is actually true and attractive about working there, rather than generic claims that could apply anywhere.

  3. 3

    Build the careers content

    The careers page, job post templates and employee stories are written from what staff actually said.

  4. 4

    Review the candidate experience

    We check what happens between application and offer, since branding cannot fix a process that loses candidates through delay.

  5. 5

    Hand over and refresh periodically

    Content is handed over for ongoing use and revisited periodically as the team and roles change.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep

    Three to six months at a time. 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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do you recruit fitters for us?
No. Recruitment, screening and payroll are all outside what we do. Our part is the page, the posts and the induction material your store and warehouse managers hand over.
Our installers work for a contractor. Is there anything to write?
Less than you would like. What you control is the induction, the product training and the written standard they are given, and publishing that is worth doing because customers read it as well as candidates. Writing about them as though they were your employees would be untrue and we will not do it.
How much of our time will this take?
A morning for the interviews with store staff and the warehouse team, then reading drafts. We would rather have one honest hour with a consultant who has been with you three years than a week with head office, because the details that make a page believable are not in the job description.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
