Water and fire damage restoration companies · Lead generation

Most of your work comes from a plumber, and nobody writes the plumber's name down.

Lead generation for a restoration company means two things: being visible in the hour after a pipe bursts, and being the name a plumber or an agent gives out. GullySales builds the partner list, writes the intake, and records where every loss 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 water and fire damage restoration companies

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

  • “The person standing in the water is not the homeowner”

    A plumber who finds three burst pipes in a freeze week decides on the spot where all three go. The plumber rings whoever answered last time.

  • “An intake call has about forty seconds”

    Category and class matter, and so does whether a truck can leave now. Take the address, the source, the carrier, then dispatch.

  • “Property managers flood twice a year”

    The same building calls again in the spring. One priority agreement and a named contact is worth more than a dozen first-time homeowners.

What we do

What we deliver for water and fire damage restoration companies.

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

  1. Every referral source written down by name

    Plumbers, roofers, agents, property managers and adjusters, with what each one sent, who owns the relationship, and when they last heard from you.

    Result: A partner going quiet becomes visible in a month.

  2. An intake script for the first forty seconds

    Address, cause, when it started, whether the water is still running, which carrier, and whether anybody has already been out to look.

    Result: The dispatcher has what a crew needs before hanging up.

  3. Priority agreements for the buildings that flood

    A written arrangement with apartment managers, HOA boards and facility teams naming your response time and one contact for every property.

    Result: The building that flooded last winter rings you first.

  4. A route and a reason for your marketing rep

    A month of visits planned by territory, with the leave-behind and the continuing education offer, instead of whoever happens to be near at lunchtime.

    Result: Your rep stops visiting the same five plumbers.

  5. Reconstruction asked for on day three

    A written step in the job where the homeowner is asked about the rebuild while the air movers still run, with a scope and photographs prepared.

    Result: The margin stays in the company that dried the house.

  6. Every loss tagged to where it came from

    Emergency search, paid advertisement, plumber, agent, property manager, carrier programme or a past customer, recorded before the job file is opened.

    Result: You feed the source that actually pays.

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 water or fire loss call comes from, and what the intake sheet should capture for each.

A plumber or roofer on site
Record the tradesman's name and company on the job file at intake, not afterwards. When the job closes, tell them it closed. Silence after a referral is how partners drift away.
A property manager or building engineer
Note the building, the person with authority to approve work and whether a priority agreement exists. A repeat building should show up as a repeat, not as a new customer.
An insurance agent or adjuster
Log the agent's office, the carrier and the claim number if there is one. Agents refer when they trust you to treat their client well, so record how each one went.
A homeowner calling the emergency line
Ask where they found the number before dispatch, and write it down. The caller who saw the truck, the Maps listing or a fridge magnet are different sources with different costs.
A carrier or third-party administrator assignment
Log the programme, the claim number and the response clock. These are not your own leads, so keep them in a separate column or your referral numbers will look weaker than they are.
A past customer or neighbour
A repeat caller or a neighbour of a recent job is the cheapest source. Record the old job number against the new one so the connection is visible at year end.

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 lead generation work runs

  1. 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. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 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.

  • Hours that fit your day, agreed up front

    Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How do we stop referral partners drifting away?
Write them down and give each one a month. A plumber is lost slowly, and nobody notices until the year is counted up. A list showing the last contact and what each one sent makes a quiet relationship visible.
Are carrier and third-party administrator programmes worth chasing?
They are steady work on somebody else's terms, with cycle times and photograph requirements you have to hold. Keep your own referral sources alive while you apply. We prepare the application material and keep your performance numbers ready for the review.
Should we pay for shared leads from a lead-selling website?
Shared leads go to several companies at once, so you are racing to the phone. Test with a small spend, tag each job won in the source column, and compare cost per job with referral work before deciding. Read the seller's current terms on refunds.
What counts as a qualified loss call?
An address in your service area, an active loss such as standing water or smoke, and a person who can authorise work. A tenant without the owner's consent is still logged, as a follow-up and not a dispatch.
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.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
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.
