GRE and GMAT coaching institutes · Education
Serious test takers compare teachers, so put yours in front of them before the fee.
A working professional plans an MBA abroad in two years. He spends a month reading forums, watching free lessons and comparing institutes before booking a single demo. The institute whose teacher explained a quantitative concept clearly in a free video is the one he visits.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
GRE and GMAT candidates are graduates and working professionals who research carefully and compare teachers, material and results. Marketing shows the teaching. Sales is the demo, the batch choice and the retake or application support that follows. GullySales handles the demo follow-up and the long decision.
GRE and GMAT candidates are older, more analytical and slower to decide than most students. They compare teachers rather than institutes, value free content, and want to know who will actually teach. Institutes lose them to a demo taught by a different teacher, a batch that starts too late, and a follow-up that never came during a decision that took months.
How buyers decide
How GRE and GMAT coaching institutes are chosen.
Candidates research heavily. They read forums, watch free lessons, compare material and ask about the teacher's own score. They want to know class size, how many hours of teaching, what practice tests are included and whether support continues until the test.
The teacher is the product. Candidates follow a named teacher between institutes. Free content that demonstrates teaching quality converts better than any advertisement.
The decision is long and the test date flexible. Many candidates take months to commit. The institute that stays in touch usefully, without pressure, is the one they join.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for GRE and GMAT coaching institutes.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“The demo is taught by someone else”
A candidate attends a demo with a star teacher and is taught by another in the batch.
“Free content is thin or absent”
Candidates judge teaching by what they can see first. An institute with nothing visible is skipped.
“Enquirers go quiet for months and are forgotten”
The decision takes time. Nobody stays in touch, and the candidate joins whoever did.
“Class size and hours are not stated”
Candidates compare precisely and vague answers lose them.
“Application support is mentioned but not explained”
Candidates want to know what happens after the score.
“Score claims cannot be verified”
Marketing cites scores that cannot be shown, and sceptical candidates discount them.
What we do
What we do for GRE and GMAT coaching institutes.
Everything included for GRE and GMAT coaching institutes, and the result each part is there to produce.
A free content plan that shows teaching
A short series of lessons or explanations by the teachers who actually teach the batches.
Result: Candidates judge your teaching before they pay for it.
A clear batch specification
Class size, teaching hours, material, mock tests and who teaches, written down.
Result: Candidates comparing precisely find the detail they want.
A demo taught by the batch teacher
A demo routine that puts the actual teacher in front of the candidate.
Result: No one is disappointed after enrolling.
A long-decision follow-up routine
A consented series of useful messages for candidates who are still deciding, over weeks or months.
Result: The institute is remembered when the decision is made.
An after-the-score route
A written explanation of what application support exists and what it costs.
Result: Candidates see the whole journey.
A report against the baseline
Enquiries by source, demos, enrolments, time from enquiry to enrolment and retakes, against the baseline taken before work starts.
Result: You can see how long the decision takes and where it stalls.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by source and test
- Demos attended and converted
- Time from enquiry to enrolment
- Batch fill rate
- Candidates returning for application support
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- 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 report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
01 · First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting 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 report has an honest comparison.
04 · After the baseline
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 · 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.
06 · 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.

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.
