Senior living and home care agencies · Lead generation
Answer the Friday discharge call before the family rings the next number.
Lead generation for senior living and home care means catching the enquiry in the week a family stops coping, from a search, a directory or a discharge planner. GullySales makes sure somebody picks up, records the situation once, and tags where every enquiry came from.
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.

For senior living and home care agencies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Discharges cluster at the end of the week”
Hospitals send people home on Thursday and Friday. The call lands as your office is closing, and by Monday the mother has gone somewhere else.
“A directory lead is already shared”
Two competitors have the same family before you finish reading the email. Tag it the moment it arrives, or you will never know what the fee bought.
“The first call has to reach the payer question”
The monthly budget and who in the family is paying decide what you can offer. Ask early and gently, or you tour a family you cannot serve.
What we do
What we deliver for senior living and home care agencies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
An intake sheet for the first ninety seconds
How much help is needed, who is deciding, how it is being paid for, which hospital or rehab unit is involved, and the date the family has to move.
Result: Nobody has to ring back to ask what was already said.
Friday afternoon given a written rota
A named person on late calls at the end of the week, able to book a tour or an assessment without waiting for a manager to return.
Result: The hardest enquiry of the week reaches a person.
Every enquiry tagged at the door
Directory, search, paid advertisement, walk-in, hospital referral or a family who toured two years ago, recorded before anything else happens.
Result: Last month's enquiries stop being a matter of opinion.
Referral sources logged by name and unit
The discharge desk, the physiotherapist or the geriatrician behind each family, written against the enquiry rather than remembered.
Result: You know whose relationship produced the move-in.
A call plan for the weeks after a tour
Who rings, in which week, and what they have to offer that the family did not already leave with, set down instead of left to memory.
Result: Silence after a tour stops being the end of it.
A count of enquiries and what became of them
Enquiries by source, time to the first human conversation, tours and assessments held, and starts of care, all against the baseline recorded when work starts.
Result: Occupancy is discussed with a number in front of you.
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
Where a senior care enquiry comes from, and what to record the first time a family calls.
- A hospital discharge planner or case manager
- Record the planner's name, the unit, the discharge date and the level of care needed. Their calls come against a deadline, so note who on your side picked up and how long the reply took.
- A directory or placement service
- These enquiries are already shared with other providers. Tag the service on the first line, and ask the family on the call what they have seen and what they are comparing.
- An adult child calling from another city
- Write down who is calling, who the person needing care is, and who makes the decision and pays. Offer a video tour or a call when the family cannot visit.
- Your website form or a Google search call
- Log the page or listing it came from and the date. Ask only what you need to start, and keep health details out of open notes. Follow your own privacy rules.
- A physician, geriatrician or hospital discharge desk
- Note the professional, the practice and what was asked of you. A person who refers once and hears back with courtesy refers again, so record that you thanked them.
- A past resident's family
- A family you treated well is often asked by friends. Record the old resident's name and the new enquiry beside it, and keep the contact warm with a personal call, not a form letter.
Who it is for
This is written for these senior living and home care agencies.
- Old age homes and senior citizen homes with residential rooms
- Dementia and Alzheimer's care homes, and homes with a dedicated memory wing
- Senior living apartments and retirement communities
- Home nursing and attendant agencies that send staff to a family's house
- Home health care services that arrange nurses, physiotherapy and equipment at home
- Franchise home care branches marketing in their own neighbourhood
- Small care homes run from a converted house or a floor of a building
- Day care centres for seniors, and short-stay or respite rooms
- Providers that run both a residential home and a home care service
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- 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.
