A relationship manager joins you with one question: will my clients still trust me?

A wealth, asset management or advisory firm hires relationship managers who carry their clients' trust with them and will not risk it at a firm that pushes product. GullySales writes the careers page and role posts that show how advice is actually decided here, inside whatever your compliance officer allows.

Where this sits

For wealth and asset management companies

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

  • The manager is protecting a reputation, not a CV

    Somebody with a book has spent years being the person a family rings before a decision. Joining a firm known for selling whatever pays best costs them that, and they will not do it for a better payout.

  • Your research desk is the recruitment argument and it is hidden

    How a product gets onto your approved list, who is allowed to say no, and what happens when a distributor offers more. Written down, that recruits the managers you want and puts off the ones you do not.

  • The payout structure decides who applies

    If the sharing rewards volume in one product, you will hire people who sell that product. A page about advice sitting on top of that is a contradiction, and candidates in this market find it by the second interview.

  • Analysts and operations are hired on completely different ground

    A research analyst wants to know what they cover and whether the note goes out under their name. Dealing and operations want the volumes and the systems. One paragraph cannot serve both.

What we do

What we deliver for wealth and asset management companies.

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 explains how advice is decided

    The investment committee, the approved list, who can override it, how conflicts are handled. We draft it in plain language and your compliance officer approves it.

    Result: The relationship manager reads the one thing they actually needed to know.

  2. Separate posts for managers, analysts and operations

    Each with the client segment or coverage, the systems used, who reviews the work and what the person signs their name to.

    Result: You stop interviewing dealers for a research seat.

  3. The payout conversation, in words

    What the structure rewards, explained in sentences rather than a slab table lifted from an internal sheet. If it rewards something you would rather not advertise, better to know before hiring against it.

    Result: Candidates negotiate on the real terms instead of discovering them in month two.

  4. Interviews with your own managers and analysts

    What made them leave the last firm, and what they would tell somebody still there. Published with their agreement.

    Result: A page that persuades the exact person you are trying to hire.

  5. A sweep of what must not appear

    Returns, performance figures and client names have no place in recruitment material. We keep them out and flag anything already on your site that your compliance officer should look at again.

    Result: A hiring page that does not become a regulatory problem.

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

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

How the work runs for wealth and asset management companies

  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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

What are we allowed to say in a job advertisement?
That is a question for your compliance officer and your regulator rather than for us. Advisers, portfolio managers and distributors are registered, the limits on performance claims and solicitation are real, and it is your registration at risk. We write nothing that quotes returns and we send every draft for approval before publication.
Our best managers are hired away every year. Will this change it?
Only at the margin, and treat anyone promising more as unserious. Somebody with a large book will always be courted. What this does is make the argument for staying explicit while they are still with you, and make the next hire easier because the firm is described somewhere other than a recruiter's email.
Do you recruit or introduce relationship managers?
No. GullySales does not recruit, does not make introductions and does not touch payroll or revenue-sharing arrangements. The writing and a written view of your own hiring process is the whole scope.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
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.
