Convention hotels · Lead generation
Bring in enquiries from the people who actually book a conference hall.
Lead generation for a convention hotel means reaching the corporate admin, the association secretary and the event agency before the date is given to another venue. GullySales builds the planner list, the enquiry page and the outreach that put your halls in front of those buyers.
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 convention hotels
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The enquirer is not always the decision-maker”
The person who emails for a quote may be an executive assistant collecting three rates for a manager. If the hotel records only the sender, the real approver stays unknown, and the follow-up goes to the wrong desk.
“Agencies bring repeat business, corporates bring the date”
An event agency may place several clients across the year, while a corporate admin owns one annual meet. Each needs a different pitch: layouts and lift-ready rates for the agency, a clear package and dates for the admin.
“A date and a headcount are the real enquiry”
A planner who gives a date and a seating count is ready to compare. One who asks for a brochure is still choosing a city. The two should be answered and tracked differently.
“Last year's events are the cheapest leads you own”
Every company that held an event in your halls has an event month that comes round again. Without a record of who booked what, that knowledge sits in one sales manager's memory.
What we do
What we deliver for convention hotels.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A planner target list
Corporate admin heads, agencies, associations and training departments in your city and region, with the events each has held before.
Result: Every name has a company, an event type and the month the last event took place.
An enquiry page built for a quote request
A short form asking for date, headcount, layout, rooms needed and who approves, placed beside the hall guide.
Result: An incoming enquiry carries the details a sales manager needs to quote without a first call to ask.
Source tagging on every enquiry
Each enquiry marked as search, agency, referral, past client or walk-in when it is logged.
Result: You can see which source brought the enquiries that became bookings.
An outreach sequence for planners
Emails and calls to the list, written around the event types each planner handles, with a hall pack attached.
Result: Each planner on the list has a recorded first contact and a next step.
A past-client reminder list
The companies that held events in your halls, sorted by event month, with a call owner against each.
Result: Returning clients are approached ahead of their usual month.
How the result is measured

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 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.
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.
