State board schools · Lead generation

Bring in admission enquiries from families who want your medium and your fee.

Lead generation for a state board school means gathering the names and numbers of parents who are weighing a seat for a child, before the admissions window closes. GullySales works on the gate, the listing, the leaflet and the broadcast list so that each enquiry reaches the front office with the class and locality written down.

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 state board schools

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The family who walked in last year is the best lead you have”

    A parent who visited once and did not enrol is already interested. If the office never wrote down the name, the child's class and the reason for hesitating, that interest is lost. The register at the front desk is the first lead source a school has.

  • “Enquiries differ by class, and the pitch should too”

    A parent asking about a seat in the lowest class wants to know about the first day and the teacher. A parent asking about Class 8 wants to know about the board examination and the senior-class support. One generic message answers neither.

  • “Village families enquire through a relative, not a search”

    Families in the surrounding villages hear of the school from a cousin in town. Treat that relative as the entry point: give them a leaflet in the home language and a number that someone actually answers.

  • “A lead lost at the gate is not a marketing failure”

    When a parent asks the watchman for the fee and gets a shrug, no campaign can repair that. The first job is to make sure whoever stands at the entrance can point to a desk, a card and a person.

What we do

What we deliver for state board schools.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A written enquiry register

    A simple sheet or book at the front office recording parent name, number, child's class, locality and how the family first heard of the school.

    Result: Every enquiry of the season sits in one place with its source beside it.

  2. Class-wise admission messages

    Short messages for the lower primary, upper primary and senior classes, each answering the question that class's parents ask.

    Result: A parent for Class 8 receives words about Class 8, not a general brochure.

  3. A single admissions contact

    One number and one named person for admissions, printed on the board, the leaflet and the listing.

    Result: Every printed item carries the same contact, and the office knows which calls are admissions.

  4. A village and locality map of enquiries

    A running list of which villages and wards the enquiries come from, so leaflets and talks go where families actually live.

    Result: The head can see which localities send families and which have not heard of the school.

  5. A parent-share leaflet

    A one-page leaflet in the local language that a satisfied parent can hand to a neighbour.

    Result: The leaflet carries the admission contact and nothing the school cannot stand behind.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. 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. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we need an online form, or is a phone number enough?
Both help, but the phone number matters more for families in a district town. A short form that asks only for a name, a number and the class sought will work alongside it, provided someone replies.
Can we run paid adverts for admissions?
Yes, where your management agrees to the spend. Advertising rules for schools differ by state, so check the wording with your own adviser, and check the platform's current rules before you run anything.
How do we count which method brought a family?
Ask at the first contact and write the answer in the register. The office needs one question on the enquiry sheet and the habit of asking it every time.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
