Corporate insurance brokers · Buyer persona

Write down who signs, who objects and who is blamed when a claim fails.

A buyer persona for a corporate broker describes the people inside a company who shape a placement: the finance head, the HR head, the admin head and the outside adviser. GullySales builds a short written card for each from your own files and your team's memory of past mandates.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Insurance brokers: show a real physical business scene illustrating Client files and risk details. Hold each client with contacts, assets, turnover and the full list of cover arranged through the firm, whichever underwriter issued it.

What buyer persona means

A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

For corporate insurance brokers

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

  • “The finance head weighs cost against exposure”

    This buyer reads the premium, the sub-limits and the exclusions, and wants to know what is not covered. A message that starts with the insurer's brand misses the question, which is what the company would pay out of its own pocket in a bad year.

  • “The HR head carries the employee's complaint”

    When a cashless request is refused, the employee goes to HR. This buyer wants to know who will answer the phone and how the claims desk escalates. The premium becomes the HR head's concern only when the finance head raises it.

  • “The admin head or plant head signs for property”

    For fire, marine and workmen's compensation the person who knows the building, the stock and the vehicles holds the pen. This buyer talks in sites, surveys and losses, and distrusts a broker who has not asked to see them.

  • “The outside adviser is a buyer of trust”

    An auditor or chartered accountant recommends a broker only if the firm looks careful. This persona needs a short summary, a visible licence and a clean way to introduce a client without any payment passing.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate insurance brokers.

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

  1. A card for the finance head

    What this buyer reads, fears and compares, written from the questions asked in your past quotations.

    Result: Your team writes to the finance head's real question.

  2. A card for the HR head

    The employee-facing worries, the claims route questions and the words used when benefits are discussed.

    Result: The HR message differs from the finance message.

  3. A card for the property and admin buyer

    How this buyer describes risk, what documents they hold and what they expect a broker to ask to see.

    Result: Property pages and calls use the buyer's own terms.

  4. A card for the outside adviser

    What an auditor or accountant needs in order to name a broker to a client, and what they will not do.

    Result: Introductions arrive with the information the adviser wants.

  5. A fit check against lost mandates

    A review of mandates you lost and won, noting which buyer role objected and why, to correct each card.

    Result: The cards describe real buyers and not an imagined one.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiry match to persona
  • Conversion rate by persona
  • Content aligned to persona

How it works

How the buyer persona 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 the current view

    We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is often the finding itself.

  2. 2

    Audit past enquiries and sales

    We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.

  3. 3

    Interview customers and staff

    Short, structured conversations surface the real language, worries and triggers behind a purchase.

  4. 4

    Build the personas

    Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.

  5. 5

    Apply to your marketing

    We show exactly where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

How many personas does a broker need?
Four buyer roles cover the corporate placements you handle: the finance head, the HR head, the property or admin buyer and the outside adviser. Add another only if your files show a buyer role that keeps recurring.
Where does the information come from?
From your quotation requests, your lost and won mandates and the recollections of the people who ran those calls. We write the cards from that evidence and mark every line a team member should confirm.
Does a persona change how we write to a client's CFO?
Yes. A message to a finance head opens with exposure and wording, one to an HR head with the claims route. The same placement is described twice, in the terms each buyer uses.
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.
