Day care centres · Lead generation
Turn a late-night search into a booked trial-day visit before another centre answers first.
Lead generation for a day care or preschool means turning a parent's midnight search into a booked trial-day visit, before another centre replies first. Corporate HR desks send enquiries the same way. GullySales builds the forms, the calls to action and the follow-up that get the visit booked.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 day care centres
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A trial-day booking form open outside working hours”
A parent searching at 11pm cannot call the centre, but a simple form asking for the child's age and a preferred visit slot captures the enquiry while it is fresh.
“A corporate tie-up pitch, not a passive listing”
Offices with a childcare benefit rarely search for a centre themselves, so direct outreach with a clear capacity and pricing offer generates leads a website alone would never reach.
“A referral prompt for parents already enrolled”
A settled parent asked directly to refer a friend or a colleague brings in a warmer, higher-trust enquiry than most paid channels. The ask needs to happen at the right moment, not left to chance.
What we do
What we deliver for day care centres.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A trial-day booking form for after-hours searches
A short form asking for the child's age and a preferred visit slot, live on the website and Business Profile for a parent searching at night.
Result: A late-night search still turns into a captured enquiry.
A corporate tie-up pitch pack for HR contacts
A short proposal document covering capacity, safety and pricing, ready to send to offices considering an employee childcare benefit.
Result: A corporate conversation starts from a clear offer, not a cold pitch.
A referral prompt built into the enrolled-parent routine
A specific moment and message for asking a settled parent to refer a friend or colleague, rather than leaving it to chance.
Result: Referrals arrive because they were asked for, not by luck.
Landing pages matched to each lead source
Separate pages for search enquiries, corporate outreach and referral visitors, each answering the question that source actually has.
Result: Every lead source lands somewhere written for them specifically.
A lead volume and source report
A count of enquiries by source, search, referral and corporate, checked against the baseline recorded before work started.
Result: You see which source is worth more attention going forward.
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
The places a parent's enquiry reaches a day care centre, and what to record at each.
- A call from a parent searching on the Google listing
- Ask the child's age, the hours needed and the locality. Offer a visit slot and write 'Google' as the source.
- A WhatsApp message asking about fees and timings
- Ask the child's age and the start date before sending the fee sheet. Reply with the visit options and record the answers.
- A walk-in parent
- Write the child's age, the working hours and the locality before the tour starts. Offer a trial-day booking before they leave.
- A referral from a current parent or a paediatrician
- Note who referred and thank them privately. Check that you have the referrer's agreement before naming them to the new family.
- An HR or office manager enquiry for a corporate tie-up
- Record the company, the number of employees with young children and the campus or location. Send the pitch pack with capacity and safety details, and ask who decides.
- A returning family needing a younger sibling's place
- Link to the earlier child's record. Ask the date they need the place and offer the next available seat in writing.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
How the lead generation work runs
- 1
Understand your capacity
We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.
- 2
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.
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.
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.
