Podiatry and diabetic foot clinics · Buyer journey

Meet the family at each step, from the first blister to the review visit.

The buyer journey for a foot clinic is the path from noticing a foot problem to booking, attending and returning. GullySales maps each stage in your patients' own words and checks where they drop out, so your pages, calls and reminders fit the way families decide.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What buyer journey means

The buyer journey is the sequence of steps a customer actually takes, from first hearing about you to deciding to buy, which is rarely a single visit or call. GullySales maps this sequence for your business and checks that something useful happens at each step instead of only at the final call.

For podiatry and diabetic foot clinics

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Families search before the patient admits”

    A son or daughter researches while the patient waits, and the clinic's page is written for the patient.

  • “There is no step between searching and calling”

    A person wants to see the clinic, the doctor and the process, and finds nothing to reassure him.

  • “The journey ends at the first visit”

    The patient attends once and nobody explains what happens next.

What we do

What we deliver for podiatry and diabetic foot clinics.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A written map of the journey

    Each stage from noticing a problem to a review visit, in the words patients use.

    Result: The team understands the patient's path.

  2. Content for each stage

    A page, a message or a card for the question asked at each stage.

    Result: Patients find what they need when they need it.

  3. A drop-out check from your records

    A count of enquiries, bookings, attended visits and returns, to see where people stop.

    Result: You know where to fix first.

  4. A first-visit pack

    A short guide on what to bring, who may accompany the patient and what happens.

    Result: Patients arrive prepared.

  5. A decision-maker view

    A note on who decides in the family and what each person needs to hear.

    Result: Messages reach the real decision-maker.

  6. A review stage

    A plan for the second and later visits, with reminders and a clear plan.

    Result: The journey continues after the first visit.

How the result is measured

  • Drop-off rate by step
  • Time from first contact to sale
  • Steps with no content

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Stages of this buyer's journey

Each stage has a question and something the clinic should have ready.

Notices a problem
A blister, a callus, numbness or a slow wound. The person asks a family member or searches. Have a page that names the problem in plain words and says when to see a doctor.
Searches and shortlists
He looks at the map, reviews and a few pages. Have the Business Profile, hours, doctor details and a clear first-visit description. Avoid claims you cannot support.
Compares
He asks whether it is a foot specialist, an orthopaedic doctor or the diabetologist, and what the fee might be. Have an honest explanation of who handles what, and how the fee is explained.
Calls or messages
He wants a real person and a clear answer on timing. Have staff trained on what to ask, and a booking routine that ends with a date and a confirmation.
Visits and decides on care
He attends, and the family decides whether to continue. Have a clear plan, a next date and a written note of what was advised.
After the visit
He returns for dressings or reviews, or stops. Have a reminder, a missed-visit call and a yearly foot check message, with consent.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 journey work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the sales process

    We walk through how a sale actually happens today, from the person who first answers an enquiry to the one who closes it.

  2. 2

    Audit the data

    Website analytics, call logs and CRM records are pulled together to see where people actually drop out, not where they are assumed to.

  3. 3

    Interview buyers and staff

    A handful of recent customers and the team who speak to them fill in the reasons behind the numbers.

  4. 4

    Build the map

    Stages, touchpoints and drop-off points are set out in one document everyone can read the same way.

  5. 5

    Fix and measure

    Each fix is implemented against the stage it addresses, and the drop-off rate at that stage is checked afterwards.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How long does the decision take?
It depends on the problem. A person with a painful, worsening wound may book within a day, while heel pain may be endured for months. Describe each stage in your own records and respond to what you see, not to a number.
Who else is involved in the decision?
A spouse, a son or a daughter, and the diabetologist, in many cases. Write pages and messages that a family member can read, and keep a contact for the person who pays and the one who travels with the patient.
What about people who contact us and go quiet?
Reply once, ask if they would like the clinic hours or a call, and stop after the planned contacts. Record the reason if they tell you. Some come back when the problem worsens.
How do we find where patients drop out?
Count from your own register: enquiries, bookings, attended first visits and return visits. The largest fall shows where to work. If many book but do not attend, look at reminders and fees explained.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
