A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.

For cold storage operators
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A review about spoilage is a public claim”
A trader says his stock rotted. With no reply, the next reader assumes it is true, even when the loss began with produce that arrived damp.
“Reputation also lives in mandi talk”
A bad season spreads through agents and traders by phone long before it appears on Google.
“Nobody has the job of replying”
The owner is at the chamber, the manager is on the phone, and reviews sit unanswered through the busiest weeks.
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 review and mention sheet
Google, JustDial and IndiaMART reviews and anything said in trader groups, collected on one sheet with the date and the store concerned.
Result: Nothing said about you is missed.
Reply wording for each kind of review
Starting points for spoilage, waiting, praise, disputes over rates and unknown reviewers, to be adapted by whoever replies.
Result: Replies are calm and specific.
A cause log
Each complaint written with what happened, such as a temperature event, delayed loading or mixed lots, and what was changed.
Result: A fault found this season is fixed before the next.
A named person who replies
One person with authority to admit a fault, and a rule for anything touching a loss, a payment or a staff member.
Result: Replies carry the owner's weight.
A way for satisfied traders to review
A link and a short message given at withdrawal, within the platform's rules, with no reward and no selection of who is asked.
Result: Reviews reflect the whole season.
Replies in the reviewer's language
A simple reply in the language the reviewer wrote in, kept short and signed by a named person.
Result: A trader sees that his own review was read.
How the result is measured
- Average rating
- Response time to reviews
- Negative mentions resolved
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
What to do with each review
The reviews a cold storage operator gets, and what to do with each one.
- Stock sprouted, rotted or shrank
- Reply politely, say you have checked the temperature log and lot record, and invite him to call. Do not argue about produce quality in public. Inside, check the log and the condition at entry.
- Waited a long time at the gate
- Thank him, say what you are changing, such as loading slots, and invite him to call. Inside, look at the day's arrival pattern and adjust the slots.
- Praise for the chambers and staff
- Thank him for the specific thing he mentioned, and name the staff member if he did. Do not offer a discount in the reply.
- A review that names a staff member
- Reply without discussing the person's conduct in public. Look into the matter inside, and tell the reviewer by phone that it was taken up.
- A dispute over rate, advance or settlement
- Never post figures. Ask him to call, settle it with the booking note and receipts in hand, and write the outcome on his record.
- A review from someone who never stored with you
- Check your register. If there is no record, say you cannot find one and invite him to call. Report it through the platform's current process and do not promise removal.

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.
