GullySales

Business coaches and corporate trainers · Branding

Decide whether a buyer is hiring you or hiring a training company.

Branding for a coach or trainer settles whether the buyer is hiring you by name or a company with a panel of facilitators. That answer runs through the photograph, the deck and the workbook, and GullySales makes the choice explicit everywhere a participant or a procurement officer sees you.

A sign-painter's bench: a shop sign on a low easel lettered as far as its last character, which is still only pencilled in, a mahl stick laid across the work, open tins of paint on the floor and a finished sign hanging from its iron bracket above

What branding means

Branding is what a customer remembers about your business beyond the product, including your name, colours, tone of voice and what you are known for locally. GullySales sets or corrects this once and applies it consistently across your website, signage and adverts so the business looks like one company everywhere.

For business coaches and corporate trainers

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

  • Your own name caps how much work you can take

    A personal name sells an executive coaching hour at a higher fee and cannot be handed over. A company name lets a second facilitator run the Chennai batch.

  • The workbook and the certificate are brand, and people keep them

    A manager who sat in your programme two years ago still has the workbook in a drawer. It should carry the name they would search for.

  • Procurement is looking for a vendor, not a personality

    A plain company name, a GST number and a proper invoice format get through empanelment faster than a site that reads as one person's personal page.

What we do

What we deliver for business coaches and corporate trainers.

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

  1. The name decision, written down

    A clear answer on whether you trade as yourself or as a training company, so the website, invoices and proposals stop disagreeing.

    Result: Everything you send out says the same thing about who you are.

  2. One line that says what you do and for whom

    One sentence naming the problem you fix and the people you fix it for, used in the bio, the profile and the first slide.

    Result: An HR head can repeat what you do to their own boss.

  3. A photograph and speaker bio a conference can publish

    A usable headshot, a short bio and a long bio, plus your credentials written the way an event or an HR newsletter needs them.

    Result: Nobody writes their own version of you at the last minute.

  4. Deck, workbook and certificate in one identity

    Templates for the session deck, the participant workbook and the completion certificate, using the same colours, type and name.

    Result: The material in the room looks like the website that sold it.

  5. Vendor documents that match the rest

    Company profile, proposal template and invoice format in the same identity, ready for the empanelment folder procurement asks for.

    Result: The paperwork does not undo the impression the session made.

How the result is measured

  • Recognition in customer feedback
  • Consistency across channels
  • Repeat enquiries by name

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

Who it is for

This is written for these business coaches and corporate trainers.

  • Independent corporate trainers for soft skills and leadership

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.

  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

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

How the work runs for business coaches and corporate trainers

  1. 1

    Assess

    In the free audit we look at where your engagements have come from, how discovery calls convert, and where proposals are stalling in the approval chain.

    Name the offer

    Each programme or coaching package written up with who it is for, the outcome, the format and a sample agenda.

  3. 3

    Build the proof

    Clips, case notes, consented quotes and credentials organised so a buyer can check your work.

  4. 4

    Reach the buyers

    LinkedIn content, association talks, webinars and outreach to HR heads and founders, timed to budget cycles.

  5. 5

    Close and extend

    Proposal follow-up through HR, the business head and procurement, and a follow-on cohort or coaching proposal after every programme.

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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we trade under a company name or our own name?
Your own name for executive coaching and keynote work, where the buyer wants you in the room. A company name once other facilitators deliver, because HR needs to believe the second batch is as good.
Do we need a new logo?
Almost never first. Fix the photograph, the one-line description and the deck template before the logo. Those are what a buyer actually looks at inside a proposal.
Do we need to be empanelled with a company before we can train there?
Often, yes, for larger companies. Procurement usually wants GST and PAN details, bank information and sometimes an MSME certificate before it raises a purchase order. We keep these in a ready kit, so an approved proposal does not lose weeks to paperwork.
Should a trainer publish rates on the website?
For corporate programmes, usually not, since the fee depends on group size, days and customisation. For life coaching packages, a starting price can save time on discovery calls with people who cannot afford the package.
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.
