HealthTech startups · Lead generation
Find the clinics and hospital buyers who need your product and will reply.
Lead generation for a HealthTech startup means finding the right doctors, clinic owners and hospital decision-makers, and the patients who use the service, and keeping each kind of enquiry apart. GullySales works on the lists, the introductions and the enquiry routes that bring each buyer to a conversation, with every claim kept for your adviser's review.
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 HealthTech startups, the overview.
Last updated 18 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 HealthTech startups
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A clinic lead and a hospital lead are different leads”
A single-doctor clinic decides alone at the desk. A hospital decides through a committee of clinical, IT, finance and purchase heads. Counting both as one number hides which route is working, so each needs its own source, owner and next step.
“The user is not always the first person to reply”
The doctor may like the product while the receptionist, the administrator or the IT head answers the introduction. A lead record that names only the doctor misses the person who can stop the pilot, so note every role you meet.
“Patient enquiries and buyer enquiries arrive in the same inbox”
A patient asking about a consultation and a hospital asking about integration land on the same form. Without a first question that separates them, a buyer waits in a queue built for patients, and a patient receives a sales call.
“A friendly clinic is a reference, not yet a lead source”
Early clinics that use the tool will talk about it to colleagues. That only turns into leads when someone asks them, records who they named and thanks them without any payment or inducement.
What we do
What we deliver for HealthTech startups.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Buyer list by route
Separate lists for clinics, hospital departments, corporate HR heads and patient-side audiences, each with the role to approach and the state you work in.
Result: One sheet per route, with a named owner for each.
Introduction messages for each role
Short notes for a doctor, an administrator and an IT head, each about what that person cares about and nothing more.
Result: A message per role that your adviser has read before it goes out.
Two-way enquiry form
A form whose first question asks whether the visitor is a patient, a clinician or a hospital, then sends each to the right follow-up.
Result: Buyer and patient enquiries arrive in separate places.
Lead record with roles
A simple record that holds every person met at one clinic or hospital, their role and the next step agreed.
Result: You can see who else at a hospital has been spoken to.
Source tracking
A note on every lead saying where it came from, such as an association talk, a colleague's mention or a search.
Result: You can compare routes by the leads each produced.
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.
What to capture or send
Capture the facts that separate a buyer, a pilot partner and a patient.
- Who replied and their role
- Doctor, clinic manager, administrator or IT head. A reply from the user is not a reply from the buyer, so the role decides the next message.
- Clinic or hospital size
- Single clinic, group or hospital. It decides whether the route is a direct sale or a pilot with a committee.
- Problem they named
- The daily task they want fixed, in their words. It shapes the demo and shows which messages are working.
- Route of introduction
- Cold email, a colleague, an event or a patient. A friendly clinic that introduces a peer is a reference route worth tracking.
- Patient or buyer flag
- A single field that sends a patient question to the care team and a buyer question to sales, so neither waits in the wrong inbox.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Your product is not yet safe for a clinic to use in front of a patient, so introductions would create a bad first impression.
- You have not decided whether to sell to clinics or hospitals, and outreach to both would confuse a small team.
How it works
How the lead generation work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Understand your capacity
We ask how many enquiries your team can answer well, who answers after hours, and what a good enquiry looks like. Without this, the system fills a funnel nobody is watching.
- 2
Audit current sources
We read your call log, WhatsApp chats, enquiry sheet and platform dashboards. The baseline is recorded: enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Search and maps are chosen for people ready to buy, ads for people who are not yet looking, and content and referrals for trust.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms, tags, the lead record and the first-reply message are built and tested end to end. We submit test enquiries ourselves before any media money is spent.
- 5
Measure and optimise
Enquiries are traced to source and judged by what became orders, not by volume alone. Channels that fill the sheet with poor enquiries are cut back. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
