Finance and insurance advisers · Lead generation
Three numbers on WhatsApp decide whether you are still in it.
Lead generation for an adviser is the WhatsApp query wanting an amount, a tenure and a rate, answered before the customer messages the next agent. GullySales sets the first reply, the qualifying questions per product, and the document chase that turns an agreed loan into a file.
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 finance and insurance advisers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The same message went to three agents”
She is comparing replies rather than advisers, and whoever answers inside the hour is the only one still being read by evening.
“Documents are the real qualifier”
Salary slip, ITR, bank statement, and for a parent's health cover the medical history. Ask early and you stop working cases that were never going to pass.
“The customer agrees on the call and then goes quiet”
Nothing is wrong. The papers are at home, the week gets busy, and without a nudge on Friday the file never opens.
What we do
What we deliver for finance and insurance advisers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A first reply carrying the indicative numbers
A short message giving the range on rate, tenure and processing charge as your principal permits, sent while the customer is still comparing.
Result: You stay on her list past the first hour.
Qualifying questions written for each product
Income proof and existing obligations for a loan, age and medical history for health cover, asked in the order that decides the case.
Result: You stop working files that cannot pass.
One log for calls, missed calls and WhatsApp
Every enquiry in a single list with the product, the source and who replied, including the ones arriving while you had a walk-in.
Result: An enquiry stops depending on who was free.
A document chase with dates on it
A reminder schedule for the papers a customer promised, running through the week instead of stopping after one message.
Result: Agreed cases turn into logged-in files.
Source tagged down to the sub-agent
Each enquiry marked with the branch, sub-agent, DSA or referrer it came from, recorded at the first contact rather than later.
Result: You can see which source actually produces files.
Reporting by product line
Enquiries, proposals, logins and issued policies split by product, set against the figures taken before any of this was in place.
Result: You know which line is worth your time.
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.
Where enquiries come from
The places an adviser's enquiries arrive, and what to record at each.
- WhatsApp message asking about a loan or policy
- Record the product, the amount or cover wanted and the customer's consent to be contacted. Reply with the qualifying questions, not the rate, and note the source as WhatsApp.
- Call or form from a lender's or insurer's lead desk
- Log the principal, the product and the date received. Call straight away, as the customer has often enquired with others, and record whether they take it up.
- Existing customer's policy renewal or loan top-up
- Note the renewal date, the product held and any claim or change in income. Contact the customer before the due date, not after, with the right documents ready.
- Referral from a chartered accountant or a client
- Write down the referrer, the customer and what they need. Never promise the referrer a payment unless your principal's rules and the law allow it, and check with them first.
- Society, community or workplace event
- Take names and the product wanted on a sign-in sheet, with consent to call. Mark the event as the source and call the people who asked, not everyone in the room.
- Calls from the Google Business Profile or a directory
- Record the product asked about and the time of the call. A missed call is a lost customer, so call back from the office number and log the outcome.

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.
