Skill development centres · Lead generation
Find the candidates a funded batch needs, and the employers who will hire them.
Lead generation for a skill development centre means finding two kinds of enquiry: candidates and families who might join a batch, and employers or sponsors who might back it. GullySales works on the mobilisation routes, the enquiry capture and the employer introductions that feed both.
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 skill development centres
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Two buyers need two lists”
A candidate asks about eligibility, travel and the certificate. An employer asks which trades are trained, when the batch ends and whom to call. Keep both in one sheet and each gets the other's questions, so neither list gets worked properly.
“A mobiliser's slip of paper is not yet a lead”
A village mobiliser brings names written on a slip or photographed on WhatsApp. Until each name has a phone number, a trade, an eligibility answer and a source beside it, the centre holds a rumour of a batch rather than enquiries it can follow.
“The walk-in at the gate goes unrecorded”
A young person reads the notice board, asks the guard a question and leaves. Nobody learns which trade interested them or which village they came from, so the one person who showed up cannot be called back.
“Sponsors enquire through colleagues”
A CSR officer or scheme coordinator passes the centre's name to a colleague on a call. That colleague looks for something to open and read. A short centre profile, ready to forward, answers the first questions before anyone phones.
What we do
What we deliver for skill development centres.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Candidate enquiry register
One sheet with name, phone, village, trade asked about, eligibility answer and source, filled at the gate, on calls and from mobiliser slips.
Result: Pick any enrolled candidate and read which route brought them in.
A source code for every route
Each poster, village visit, ITI note and WhatsApp message carries a short code that the candidate quotes or the counsellor writes down.
Result: The register shows which routes produced names and which produced silence.
Eligibility questions for the first call
A short list of plain questions based on the scheme terms you were given, so an unsuitable name is told kindly before paying for a bus.
Result: Every counsellor asks the same questions in the same order.
Employer enquiry list
Local factories, showrooms and service firms, each with the trade it might hire, a contact person and the last conversation held.
Result: Every employer on the list has a named contact and a next step.
Sponsor profile sheet
A short profile of the centre, its trainers, tools and batch records that a scheme officer or CSR team can forward as it is.
Result: A forwarded profile answers the first questions without a call.
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.

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.
