Chartered accountants and accounting firms · Reputation management
Hold the firm's name when a client blames you for a penalty you warned about.
Reputation management for a practice is what loads when a prospect searches the firm's name and the partners' names on the evening of the referral. GullySales sets the alerts, drafts the reply to a review about a missed deadline, and gets the partner profiles saying the same thing.
What reputation management means
Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

Sales and marketing for chartered accountants and accounting firms, the overview.
For chartered accountants and accounting firms
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The name check follows the referral by hours”
A banker gives your name at four and the owner searches it at nine. What loads is your review page and a partner's LinkedIn.
“A reply cannot discuss the client's affairs”
Confidentiality does not lift because a former client posted. The reply acknowledges the concern and moves the rest off the review page.
“Two firms share a name in most cities”
A complaint about a similarly named practice lands on yours, and nobody checks a membership number before deciding whom to ring.
What we do
What we deliver for chartered accountants and accounting firms.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Alerts on the firm name and each partner's name
Notifications set for the firm, the partners and the common misspellings, so a review or a forum post is seen within days rather than at the next audit.
Result: You find out before a prospect does.
A drafted reply for the complaint you can see coming
Wording prepared in advance for a review about a missed deadline, a penalty or a fee dispute, written to stay inside client confidentiality and to invite a call instead.
Result: The reply goes up the same week, not after a fortnight of arguing.
A decision on reviews, taken with your partners
Whether and how clients are asked, checked against the current ICAI position on testimonials, and if the answer is no, the reply routine that covers the reviews arriving anyway.
Result: You know where the firm stands before the page fills itself.
Partner profiles that agree with each other
LinkedIn, the website, the institute directory and the Business Profile checked so the qualification, membership number, areas of work and firm name match everywhere.
Result: A prospect's two-minute check finds one consistent story.
The mix-up with the similarly named firm sorted out
Listings, the map pin and the search results checked for other practices sharing your name, and the difference made plain on your own pages.
Result: Somebody else's complaint stops being read as yours.
A record of what was said and what changed
Every public complaint logged with the reply and the change made inside the firm, reported monthly alongside everything else.
Result: A pattern in the complaints shows up while it is still fixable.
How the result is measured
- Average rating
- Response time to reviews

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

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.
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.
