Cooperative banks · Lead generation

Find the families in your wards who need a loan or a deposit account next.

Lead generation for a cooperative bank means finding the households and traders near each branch who are about to open an account, take a gold or vehicle loan or place a deposit. GullySales works on where those people look, how they reach the branch and how each enquiry is recorded.

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 cooperative banks

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

  • “The enquiry arrives through four doors”

    A loan enquiry reaches the bank at the counter, on a phone call, through a director and on WhatsApp. Each door is handled by a different person, so the same family can be counted twice or not at all. A lead only exists once it is written down in one place.

  • “Intent shows up in a search, not in a hoarding”

    The person who types gold loan near me, or vehicle loan in the town's name, has already decided to borrow. Reaching that person at that moment is cheaper in effort than a banner on the market road that every passer-by ignores.

  • “The best leads are already your members”

    A member whose fixed deposit is maturing, or whose child has started a business, is a lead the bank never has to find. Nobody picks up the phone unless a list names them and a person is assigned to call.

  • “A lead from a director needs a reply, not a thank-you”

    When a director passes on a name, the family expects the manager to call. If the name sits in a pocket diary for a week, the family goes to the private bank that rang them first.

What we do

What we deliver for cooperative banks.

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

  1. A single list of enquiry sources

    Counter, call, director, WhatsApp, branch listing and employer visit are named as sources, so every new account and loan file can be traced to one of them.

    Result: Each file shows where it came from.

  2. Search visibility for loan and deposit terms

    Pages and listings written for the words people type for gold loans, vehicle loans, trader loans and fixed deposits near each branch.

    Result: A family can find the branch for the scheme they searched.

  3. A call-back form on each scheme page

    A short form asking name, scheme and the best time to call, which lands with the branch manager instead of a head-office inbox.

    Result: The manager sees who asked and for which scheme.

  4. A maturity call list

    Members whose deposits are due to mature, with a named staff member to speak to each before the date.

    Result: The loan desk has a list with a person against each name.

  5. Director referral slips

    A simple slip the director fills in with the family's name, need and phone, handed to the manager at once.

    Result: Each referred family is tied to the director who introduced it.

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

How the lead generation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Where should a cooperative bank look for new members first?
Start with the wards around each branch and the employers and schools nearby. Those are people who can walk in, who know the name and who can be introduced by a director or a current member.
Can we buy a list of phone numbers?
We do not recommend it. A bought list holds people who never asked to hear from a bank, and there are rules on unsolicited calls. Check them with your compliance officer before any outbound calling.
How do we know a lead was real?
A lead is real when a person asked about a named scheme and the branch recorded it. The enquiry register shows who asked, who called back and whether a file or account followed.
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.
