Building material dealers · Lead generation
The evening rate message decides tomorrow morning's lorry.
Lead generation for a building material dealer is the rate enquiry arriving on WhatsApp, being answered with a delivery time, and being written down against a site. GullySales sets up the reply format, records every enquiry with the site and the stage it has reached, and puts a call-back date on the ones that did not order.
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 building material dealers, the overview.
For building material dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A rate alone is forwarded to three other yards”
A rate with a delivery slot and the stock on hand is harder to shop around, because the contractor needs material tomorrow.
“The enquiry is a site, not a person”
Record the location, the stage and who is paying. That is what tells you whether blocks are wanted in six weeks.
“Most enquiries arrive after the yard has closed”
The contractor messages at nine at night, after the day's work. Whoever answers first thing gets the order.
What we do
What we deliver for building material dealers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A reply format that carries rate, stock and delivery
One short message giving the rate, what is in the yard, the load size and the delivery slot, sent from the business number every time.
Result: Your reply is the one that can be acted on.
Every enquiry written against a site
A record of the site, the contractor, the owner, the stage reached and what was quoted, kept in one place instead of on three phones.
Result: The yard knows which sites it is currently bidding for.
Qualifying questions asked on the first reply
Where the site is, what stage it has reached, the quantity, when the material is wanted and whether the payment is cash or on credit.
Result: You know before loading whether this is an order you want.
A call-back date on enquiries that did not order
A date set by the stage of the site rather than a general reminder, so a foundation enquiry is called again before the blockwork starts.
Result: A site you lost at cement is still open to you at plaster.
New layouts and plots tracked as a source
A list of layouts and plots under construction near your yard, updated as work starts, with who is building and what has been bought so far.
Result: You approach a site before the first lorry arrives from elsewhere.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- 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 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.
