Business automation and RPA companies · Buyer journey

The finance head starts it, the IT head can stop it, and you meet only the first.

The buyer journey for an automation firm runs from a person who hates a chore to a signed pilot, through an IT review and a business case nobody in the room wrote. GullySales maps each stage in the buyer's words, names an owner on your side for each, and finds where discovery calls go quiet.

What buyer journey means

The buyer journey is the sequence of steps a customer actually takes, from first hearing about you to deciding to buy, which is rarely a single visit or call. GullySales maps this sequence for your business and checks that something useful happens at each step instead of only at the final call.

For business automation and RPA companies

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

  • “The person who feels the chore does not sign”

    The accounts executive who keys invoices all morning wants it gone. The finance head wants a business case and the IT head must approve a bot that holds a login. Your first call is with the wrong one.

  • “The comparison is rarely with another vendor”

    It is with an ERP module, a freelancer, an Excel macro and doing nothing. A page that compares only automation firms misses the decision the buyer is actually making.

  • “The journey starts again after the pilot”

    The second process is decided by how the first one behaved in production, and by whether anyone rang to ask. The map most firms draw ends at the signature.

What we do

What we deliver for business automation and RPA companies.

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

  1. A journey map in the buyer's words

    Stages from the chore becoming unbearable to the second process, written as the buyer describes them, with an owner on your side named for each handover.

    Result: No stage sits between two of your people with nobody on it.

  2. A page for each room in the decision

    One for the finance head on the business case, one for the IT head on access and logs, one for the operations team on what changes in their day.

    Result: Each person who can say no has met a page written for them.

  3. A note the champion can forward

    One page that the person who raised the chore sends upward: the process, the hours the team spends according to their own records, what a pilot would show and what it would not.

    Result: The case is carried to the budget holder in your words.

  4. A security and access pack

    Where credentials are kept, who holds access, what is logged and where data stays, in a form the IT head can attach to a ticket.

    Result: A deal stops stalling on questions nobody owned.

  5. A comparison against what buyers weigh

    An honest sheet setting a bot against the ERP's module, a macro, a freelancer and a hire, with when each fits.

    Result: You are in the comparison the buyer is already making.

  6. Drop-out read from your records

    Enquiries counted from first call to process walk, proof of concept, proposal and order, against the baseline from the audit.

    Result: You can name the stage that loses the most buyers.

How the result is measured

  • Drop-off rate by step
  • Time from first contact to sale
  • Steps with no content

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Stages of this buyer's journey

From a chore nobody can stand to a bot that runs, with the question the buyer asks at each step.

The chore becomes unbearable
A close is delayed, a clerk resigns or an auditor flags a manual reconciliation. Write a page on each chore in the words the team uses, and name the role that feels it.
Asking around and searching
The buyer asks the CA or the ERP partner, then searches the chore. Be on the search results with a process page, and be a name the partner can say aloud.
Comparing the options
A macro, a module from the ERP vendor, a freelancer, another partner or leaving things alone. Publish an honest comparison so you are in the list the buyer is drawing.
Discovery call and process walk
The buyer expects questions about the work. Watch the process on a screen share, note the exceptions, and write down what a bot would and would not do.
Business case and IT review
The finance head needs a case and the IT head needs access answers. Hand over a forwardable note and a security pack before they are asked for.
Pilot, go-live and the second process
The bot runs and the team judges it. Name who looks after it, and ask the process owner what else the team retypes before the pilot is a month old.

Who it is for

This is written for these business automation and RPA companies.

  • UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism implementation partners
  • Power Automate and Microsoft 365 consultancies
  • Workflow studios building on Zoho, n8n, Make and Zapier
  • Document processing and OCR specialists for invoices, KYC and claims

  • Shared-service and BPO teams turning their own bots into a product
  • Freelancer-led teams becoming a registered company

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 report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Free audit call

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

  2. After the call

    Written, scored report

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

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

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

  4. After the baseline

    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. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the work runs for business automation and RPA companies

  1. 1

    Trace the enquiry trail

    In the free audit we follow your last pilots back to the first contact, whether platform vendor, ERP partner, search or an old client, and see where the calls went quiet.

  2. 2

    Fix the discovery call

    The questions, the process walk and the record kept, so that no quote is built on a description.

  3. 3

    Publish the proof

    A page per process, a support page and a security page, written from what your developers actually built and fixed.

  4. 4

    Open the routes in

    Search, partner referrals, outreach to ERP partners and the replies to each, with every source recorded.

  5. 5

    Report from call to contract

    Discovery calls held, proofs passed, pilots signed and support contracts attached, against the baseline.

Proof

What happened when owners fixed this.

Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.

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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. 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.

Book the free audit
How long does an automation buyer take to decide?
Longer than a software subscription, because a pilot, an IT review and a budget approval sit in the way. Some buyers decide after one watched process, and others wait for the next financial year. Ask on the first call what has to happen internally, and who else must agree.
Who else has a say besides the finance head?
The IT head, who approves access and systems, and sometimes information security, procurement and the CEO. The operations staff have no vote but can sink a pilot by refusing to trust it. Ask early who signs off on each of these.
A buyer went quiet after the proof of concept. What now?
Find out whether the pilot failed, passed or was never reviewed. A buyer whose pilot passed may be waiting for budget, so send the note their manager needs. One whose pilot failed needs a straight account of why, and a decision on whether to try again.
How do we find where buyers drop out?
Count from your own register: enquiries, discovery calls held, process walks done, proofs started, proofs passed, proposals sent, orders signed. The biggest fall between two neighbours is your problem stage. Only the register can show it.
Should we call it RPA or automation?
Use the buyer's word on each page. A finance head searches for the chore, such as invoice entry, so lead with that. RPA belongs where an IT head or a platform buyer is reading, and automation works for everyone else.
The platform vendor already lists us as a partner. Why more?
A directory entry is a name on a list of forty. The buyer who opens it then goes to your site, and what they find there decides whether a call happens. Your own pages have to carry the proof the listing cannot.
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?
The term is agreed in writing after the audit, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
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 90 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 review meetings.
