Franchise systems · Lead generation
Qualify the candidate before he reaches a development director.
Lead generation for a franchisor fills two pipelines with nothing in common: candidates who can genuinely fund a unit, and customers for the units already trading. GullySales takes the first response on both, qualifies against your own criteria, and records the source of every signing.
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 franchise systems
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Most enquiries cannot afford the investment”
A development director's week disappears into people with no liquid capital, because nothing checks capital before the call reaches his diary.
“A broker fee is only worth paying for a stranger”
Some candidates a broker introduces had already been on your site. Tagging the source shows which, and that changes what you are willing to pay.
“An empty diary in one unit poisons the development pipeline”
Every serious candidate rings existing owners. Local lead generation is not a separate programme, it is the last stage of the development one.
What we do
What we deliver for franchise systems.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
First response on both pipelines inside agreed hours
Portal enquiries, broker introductions and local customer enquiries picked up within the overlap window we agree with you.
Result: The candidate has spoken to you before he compares.
Capital and timing checked before a diary booking
Liquid capital, net worth, timeline, territory interest and background captured and measured against the criteria your team sets.
Result: Only conversations worth having reach your development director.
Source tagged from first contact to signature
Portal, broker, organic search, event or franchisee referral recorded at the start and carried through to the signed agreement.
Result: You know what each channel costs per owner.
A referral route through existing franchisees
A structured ask, a record and a reward for owners who introduce candidates or open a second unit, instead of waiting for it to happen.
Result: Your best salespeople are the ones already in the system.
Local enquiry handling for quiet units
Call and form handling for units whose diaries are thin, so a struggling owner is not also the one answering the phone badly.
Result: The units your candidates will ring are busier.
A monthly report on both pipelines
Candidate enquiries, qualified candidates, discovery days and signings, alongside local enquiries per unit, each against its baseline.
Result: Neither pipeline is judged on the other's numbers.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries by source
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
Who it is for
This is written for these franchise systems.
- Emerging franchisors under twenty-five units
- Established systems adding units in new states
- Food and beverage franchise systems
- Home services and residential franchise brands
- Health, fitness and wellness studio franchises
- Childcare, tutoring and education franchises
- Senior care and staffing franchise systems
- Multi-unit and area developer models
- Franchisors relying on a broker network for most deals
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for franchise systems
- 1
Separate the two funnels
In the free audit we look at development and local marketing apart from each other, because they are usually reported as one number and hide each other's problems.
- 2
Fix the candidate response
Agreed overlap hours, a first call while the candidate is still reading, qualification against your own criteria, and a record your development team can see.
- 3
Set the local base
Every unit's listing, local page and review routine brought to one standard, so franchisees start from the same place rather than from whatever they set up themselves.
- 4
Open new units properly
A pre-opening routine run for each new franchisee, so the ramp does not depend on how confident that particular owner is at marketing.
- 5
Report to both audiences
Development numbers for the board and local numbers per unit for the franchisees, both against the baseline recorded before anything changed.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
