GullySales

Business coaches and corporate trainers · Pay per click advertising

Pay for the HR manager comparing trainers, not for a student writing an assignment.

PPC for a coach or trainer is paid search aimed at two buyers who behave nothing alike: an HR team shortlisting vendors, and an individual booking a call. GullySales runs them as separate campaigns, writes the ad text, and checks spend against the enquiries that turned out to be real.

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend daily against enquiries received.

For business coaches and corporate trainers

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

  • Corporate and individual searches should never share a budget

    A click on corporate training company costs many times a click on life coach near me. One campaign running both spends where it is cheap.

  • Training marketplaces bid on your category and resell the enquiry

    Search for a soft skills trainer and the top results are listing sites that resell your enquiry. The ad has to say you are the one in the room.

  • The budget window closes on 31 March

    An ad for a programme you can still deliver before 31 March works in January. The same ad in May reaches a team with nothing left to spend.

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. Separate campaigns for HR buyers and individuals

    Two campaigns with their own budgets, ad text and landing pages, so a corporate keyword never competes with a personal coaching one.

    Result: Neither buyer is starved by the other.

  2. Ad text written for the programme, not the category

    Ads naming the programme, the format and who it is for, instead of a line about transforming teams that every listing site also runs.

    Result: The click comes from someone who wanted that exact programme.

  3. A landing page per programme with a form HR can fill

    A page matching the ad, ending in a form that asks for company, team size, location and the month the programme has to run.

    Result: The enquiry arrives with enough in it to price a proposal.

  4. A January to March campaign for budget that must be spent

    A short, dated campaign for programmes that can be delivered before the financial year closes, with the calendar of open dates in the ad.

    Result: Money that would have lapsed comes to you.

  5. Weekly search term review with the wrong searches blocked

    A check of what people actually typed, adding negative keywords for students, job seekers, certification hunters and other trainers studying the market.

    Result: The budget stops paying for clicks that were never going to buy.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

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
  • Sales training and sales coaching specialists
  • Executive coaches for senior managers and CXOs
  • Business coaches for founders, family businesses and SMEs
  • Training companies with a panel of facilitators
  • Life coaches for career, relationships and wellbeing
  • Outbound, team-building and offsite facilitators
  • Communication, public speaking and presentation trainers
  • Behavioural assessment and psychometric practitioners

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

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.

    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.

    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

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.

Is Google Ads worth it for a corporate trainer?
For a named programme, yes, as long as someone replies within the hour. For the phrase corporate training on its own, no. That search brings students, job seekers and rival trainers.
Should a life coach advertise on Google or on Instagram?
Google when the person is already typing their problem. Instagram when they need to watch you first. Most coaching packages are bought after months of following, which makes search the smaller half.
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.
