Doctors and general clinics · Lead generation
The mother who rang twice at six and gave up was your enquiry.
Lead generation for a clinic is less about new demand than about answering what already arrives while the OPD is full. GullySales sets up the missed-call callback rule, the WhatsApp first reply and a register showing which families came from where.
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.

Sales and marketing for doctors and general clinics, the overview.
Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.
For doctors and general clinics
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Nobody buys a clinic lead, they abandon one”
The doctor is with a patient and the receptionist is billing, so a call at six in the evening rings out and goes to the next clinic.
“A home care enquiry needs a number on the first call”
A family standing at a discharge counter asks what a nurse costs per day, and a vague answer sends them to an app that shows the price.
“The apartment group recommendation arrives as an unknown number”
Somebody in a building group names your doctor, a stranger calls, and nobody at the desk records where she heard it.
What we do
What we deliver for doctors and general clinics.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A missed-call callback rule with a name on it
One person responsible for calling back every missed number within an agreed time, with the busy OPD hours planned for rather than hoped through.
Result: Fewer families give up after two rings.
A WhatsApp number with the first reply already written
A business number for the clinic and saved replies covering timings, which doctor sits when, home visit charges and how to book.
Result: A question at nine at night gets an answer.
A charges sheet the front desk can read out
Consultation, home visit, nursing per shift, sample collection and health check rates on one sheet at the desk, kept current.
Result: Nobody is told that somebody will call back about price.
An enquiry register with the source on every line
Every call, message and walk-in recorded with where the family heard of you and whether they came, in one book rather than four places.
Result: You learn which pharmacy and which building send patients.
An appointment book showing each doctor's sitting times
A shared book of who sits when, so a caller asking for the lady doctor on Thursday evening is answered without a call back.
Result: The desk stops guessing at the schedule.
Report on calls answered and appointments kept
Calls received against calls answered, appointments booked and visits kept, read against the baseline recorded before the work started.
Result: You see whether the front desk is losing patients.
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 a patient's request reaches a clinic, and what to record at each.
- A call to the clinic phone
- Write the patient, the complaint in a few words and whether it is for today. Offer the nearest slot, and log missed calls so someone returns them.
- A WhatsApp message for an appointment or timings
- Reply with the doctor's days, the slot and the fee in one message. Keep medical advice out of the chat and invite the patient to come in.
- A Practo or Google listing booking
- Check that the doctor's name and hours match the clinic. Mark the source in the record, and confirm the slot with a reminder.
- A home visit or nursing request
- Record the patient, the address, the condition and the family contact. Confirm the visit charge and who will attend before sending anyone.
- A home sample collection request
- Write the tests asked, the address and the time the patient is free. Confirm the partner lab, the collection time and the reporting method.
- A referral from a family, a pharmacist or a lab
- Note who referred and the reason. Thank the family and tell the pharmacist or lab that the patient came, with the patient's agreement.

Not for

- 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.
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
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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.
