Freight and transport companies · Lead generation
The first rate back on WhatsApp makes the shortlist.
A rate enquiry for a transporter arrives with a lane, a weight and a loading date, and whoever answers first stays in the conversation. GullySales sets the enquiry format, the same-day rate routine and one register for calls, WhatsApp and load boards, with a follow-up date on every quote.
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.

Sales and marketing for freight and transport companies, the overview.
For freight and transport companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Half your enquiries are brokers reselling your rate”
He will take your number, add a margin and quote the shipper himself. Knowing which is which changes what you say.
“A load tonight and a load next week are different jobs”
One is capacity you fill at whatever the market pays. The other is worth a proper quotation and a call on Thursday.
“The material decides the vehicle and the rate”
Steel coil, FMCG cartons and chemicals need different bodies and different permits, and a rate given before asking is one you withdraw.
What we do
What we deliver for freight and transport companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
An enquiry format that captures the load
Route, weight, material, vehicle wanted, loading date and the destination gate, asked on the first call or taken through the form.
Result: You can quote without three more phone calls.
A same-day rate routine
A named person and a time limit for sending rates, so a request at eleven does not wait until the owner is free that evening.
Result: You are quoting while the shipper is still deciding.
One register for calls, WhatsApp and the boards
Every rate request in a single list with the lane, the rate given and who asked, including the ones that came through a load board.
Result: Nothing gets quoted twice at two different rates.
Broker and direct shipper tagged apart
Each enquiry marked as a broker, a trader or a plant at first contact, with different follow-up written for each.
Result: You stop treating a reseller as a new account.
A follow-up date on every quotation
A date in the calendar against each rate sent, with a call and a note of whether it was won, lost or never loaded at all.
Result: Quotes stop disappearing after one message.
Quotes against loads booked, by lane
A monthly count of rate requests, quotes sent and loads actually moved on each route, against the baseline taken at the start.
Result: You learn which lanes you win and at what rate.
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.

Not for

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.

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.
