Cold storage operators · Lead generation
Write down the trader who asked in the off-season, because he will book before the harvest.
Lead generation for a cold storage operator means finding the traders, farmer groups and food brands who will need chambers, and getting each to commit before the season fills. GullySales builds the call list, the capacity notice and the follow-up that turns a rate question into booked chambers.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
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 cold storage operators
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Enquiries arrive in a rush and are forgotten”
Around loading time the phone never stops. Names and quantities go on the back of a diary and are lost by the next season.
“Demand for chambers lives in the trader's plan”
A trader decides how much to store when he buys the crop. Call him before the purchase, not when lorries are already on the road.
“Food brands need the whole year, and you advertise for the season”
A dairy, frozen food or ready-to-eat brand never hears about your idle months, so those chambers stay empty.
What we do
What we deliver for cold storage operators.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A booking register for every call
Trader, crop, quantity, expected arrival, rate quoted and advance asked, written down during the call, not remembered later.
Result: No enquiry disappears into a diary.
A call list from last season's receipts
Every trader and agent from last season's register with the quantity he stored, ready for calls before booking opens.
Result: Repeat bookings start with your call.
A capacity notice
A short message and board stating when booking opens and how much space is available, sent to the traders on your list.
Result: Traders ring you first instead of ringing around.
A list of food brands within reach
Dairy, frozen food, ice cream and ready-to-eat brands and their distributors, each with the person who handles storage.
Result: Empty months have named prospects.
A list of agents and producer groups
Commission agents, farmer producer organisations and mandi traders, each with an owner on your team and a note of what was last said.
Result: You reach the people who choose the store.
Follow-up dates set when a rate is quoted
Two dates entered with the quote, one before the trader's purchase date and one before arrival, with the wording written in advance.
Result: A rate quote becomes a booking or a clear no.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries by source
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Where enquiries come from
A cold storage operator hears from buyers of chamber space in six ways, and each one needs different details written down.
- Trader's phone call before the season
- Record name, crop, quantity, expected arrival date and the rate quoted. Confirm available space and the loading schedule on the same call, and note the advance asked.
- Commission agent bringing farmers' produce
- Note the agent and the produce. Ask whether he stores in his own name or the farmer's, which decides whose receipt is issued.
- Farmer producer organisation
- Record the group, the contact person and the crop plan. Offer a visit to the chambers before the season and ask who signs for the group.
- Dairy, frozen food or ready-to-eat brand
- Note the product, the temperature needed, pallet or crate size and the months required. Reply with a visit and your temperature log format, not a rate.
- Pharma or vaccine distributor
- Record the temperature range, the licence he holds, the quality contact and the audit he will run. Do not quote until his quality team has seen the site.
- Last season's trader
- Open the old record, see what he stored and paid, and ring before booking opens. Note any complaint from last time and what you changed.

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

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.
