Branding and graphic design studios · Lead generation
Get the brief and the budget before you get to the quote.
Lead generation for a design studio means enquiries from founders who have a project, a date and money set aside, and knowing that before any concept is drawn. GullySales sets up how enquiries arrive and are answered, and replaces free concepts with a paid first stage.
What lead generation means
Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

Sales and marketing for branding and graphic design studios, the overview.
For branding and graphic design studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The enquiry is a late-night message asking for a rate”
Reply with three questions about the business and the launch date.
“The printer who referred them is never recorded”
Nobody notes who sent the project, so the partner is never thanked.
“Asking for free concepts is the qualifying question”
A founder who pays for a small discovery stage is a client. The other never was.
What we do
What we deliver for branding and graphic design studios.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A first reply that asks three questions
A saved reply for the message asking your rate, asking what the business is, when it opens, and what has already been decided.
Result: A price question turns into a conversation about the project.
A paid discovery stage in place of free concepts
A small first stage covering the business questions and two directions, priced and written into the proposal, offered whenever somebody asks for sample logos.
Result: Sketches stop leaving the studio unpaid.
A referral record for architects, printers and interior designers
Who sent which enquiry, logged the moment it arrives, with a note to thank them and a portfolio pack they can forward to the next founder who asks.
Result: The partners who feed you get fed back.
A starting range published on the site
A range for each project type with what it covers and what it does not, so the fee conversation begins before the first call.
Result: The gig-site buyer filters themselves out.
A same-day answering routine
Who checks the Instagram inbox, the website form and the studio phone, by when, and what they say on the days you are too full to take it on.
Result: The founder who messaged three studios hears from you first.
Every enquiry tagged to its source
Referral, search, Instagram or a past client recorded against each enquiry and each signed project, reported monthly against the audit baseline.
Result: You stop guessing which effort filled the year.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries by source
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
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.

Why us
Why a studio brings us in for its own pipeline.
Marketing and sales, as one job
We work the part after the enquiry as well: the reply, the follow-up, the proposal and the CRM your own pipeline runs on.
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.
