Orthotics and prosthetics makers · Buyer persona
Describe the family, the referrer and the institution as three different buyers.
A buyer persona for an orthotics and prosthetics workshop is a one-page description of a kind of buyer: who they are, what starts the search, what worries them and who else decides. GullySales builds personas for the patient's family, the referring clinician and the institutional buyer, and checks them against people you have served.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What buyer persona means
A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

For orthotics and prosthetics makers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The patient is not always the buyer”
A parent buys for a child, a son for a father, an employer or scheme for an employee, and each asks different questions.
“The referrer is a buyer of trust”
A surgeon does not pay but decides where the patient goes, and chooses on how you treat the patient and him.
“Institutions buy on supply and response”
A hospital or a rehabilitation centre asks about capacity and consistency, not the patient's fears.
What we do
What we deliver for orthotics and prosthetics makers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A persona card for the patient's family
Who calls, what they fear and ask, who else is in the decision and what they need to know before they come.
Result: Your desk and your pages speak to the real caller.
A persona card for the referring clinician
A surgeon or physiotherapist: what they look for in a workshop, what they dislike and what makes them keep referring.
Result: Your referrer outreach answers the doctor's real concerns.
A persona card for institutional buyers
A hospital, a rehabilitation centre or an NGO: how they buy, what they check and who signs.
Result: A supply enquiry meets an answer prepared for it.
A parent persona if you serve children
The questions a parent of a growing child asks, the worries around school and growth, and the follow-up they need.
Result: Paediatric pages and calls use the parent's words.
A check against people you have served
A few conversations, with consent, to test each card and change what is wrong.
Result: The personas rest on what your patients said.
A brief for pages, ads and the front desk
One page per persona saying what to say, what to ask and what never to say.
Result: Everyone speaks to the right person in the right way.
How the result is measured
- Enquiry match to persona
- Conversion rate by persona
- Content aligned to persona
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
A persona card for this buyer
A typical persona card for the family of a patient needing a lower-limb prosthesis, to be checked against your own patients.
- Who they are
- Typical: a family member, often a son, daughter or spouse, deciding with the patient after a surgeon's advice. Check against your own records who actually makes the first call.
- What starts the search
- Typical: the surgeon says a prosthesis is the next step, or a relative recommends a workshop. Ask your own patients who told them about you and what they typed first.
- What worries them
- Typical: pain, walking again, cost, how many visits, travel from a town and whether they will be looked after. Ask what they feared on the first call.
- What they compare you with
- Typical: another workshop in the same city or a larger centre in another city, and the surgeon's suggestion. Ask whom they also called before you.
- Who else decides
- Typical: the surgeon, a relative who pays, an employer or a scheme. Ask who paid, who advised, and who needed to be convinced. Note it against each patient.
- What makes them say yes
- Typical: a clear explanation of the visit, a clinician they trust, a firm estimate in writing and a promise of follow-up. Record the real reason each time a family books.

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
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, 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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing 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 buyer persona work runs
- 1
Understand the current view
We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is often the finding itself.
- 2
Audit past enquiries and sales
We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.
- 3
Interview customers and staff
Short, structured conversations surface the real language, worries and triggers behind a purchase.
- 4
Build the personas
Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.
- 5
Apply to your marketing
We show exactly where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have.
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.
