Payment service providers · Lead generation

Find the merchants who will actually switch on payments and transact.

Lead generation for a payment service provider means reaching shop owners, online sellers and developers who are ready to take payments, and separating them from people who only browse. GullySales builds the enquiry routes and counts the merchants who reach a first live payment, not the forms filled.

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 payment service providers

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

  • “A signup is not a merchant until money moves”

    A form with a business name is the cheapest thing to collect. The lead that matters is the one that reaches documents, activation and a first transaction, so the source of each signup needs to stay attached to that journey.

  • “The kirana owner and the developer search for different things”

    One looks for a QR code and a soundbox, the other for an API and a sandbox. A single enquiry route sends both to the same page, and one of them leaves without asking anything.

  • “Field executives and online forms feed the same pipeline”

    A merchant met on the shop floor and a seller who filled a form at night both need follow-up. When the two sit in separate sheets, nobody can say which route produces merchants who transact.

  • “Larger merchants ask for rates before anything else”

    A business with real volume opens with a request for lower charges. A lead route that has no answer ready for that conversation hands the merchant to a competitor with a sharper reply.

What we do

What we deliver for payment service providers.

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

  1. Audience-split enquiry pages

    Separate entry pages for shop owners, online sellers, developers and finance heads, each with its own short form.

    Result: Each enquiry arrives labelled with the kind of merchant it is.

  2. One lead register for field and online

    A single sheet or CRM view where a field signup, a call, a form and a partner introduction are recorded with their source.

    Result: You can read the source of every merchant in one place.

  3. A rate-request reply kit

    An agreed set of answers for merchants who ask for lower charges, written in wording your compliance head has approved.

    Result: Your team replies to a rate request from the same approved text.

  4. Go-live status on every lead

    Stages from enquiry to documents, activation, integration and first payment, shown against each lead.

    Result: You can see which leads are stuck and at which stage.

  5. Source report by live merchant

    Spend and effort set against merchants who transacted, split by route and by executive.

    Result: You can compare sources on live merchants, not on forms.

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.

Which leads should we count as real?
A lead becomes real when the merchant completes activation and takes a first payment. Earlier stages are tracked so you can see where leads stall, but the count that decides budget is merchants who transact.
Can lead generation include developer enquiries?
Yes. Developers reach you through guides, sandbox pages and search. Their enquiry route is different from a shopkeeper's, so it gets its own page and its own record in the register.
Do you promise a number of merchants?
No. Merchant numbers depend on your pricing, onboarding and approvals. GullySales builds the routes and the tracking, and shows you what each route produces.
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.
