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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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
  • Enquiries by source

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

Who it is for

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

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.

Enquiries come to four different phones. Where do we start?
One business number for enquiries, with the others forwarded to it. Until every enquiry is in one place, nobody can say how many were lost.
How do we handle a contractor who only asks for a rate?
Give the rate, then ask where the site is and when the material is wanted. Two questions turn a price check into something you can follow up.
Can marketing work when customers only care about the rate?
Rate matters, but delivery time, stock and credit decide many orders. A daily rate message sent before buyers ask, and a call before each site stage, wins orders that a lower rate from a stranger does not.
How do we stop credit from getting out of hand?
Agree the credit period at the time of order and record it against the site and contractor. We set up reminders that go out before the due date, so collection starts as a routine message rather than an awkward call.
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 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.
