Tiffin services · Lead generation

Fill the open places on your tiffin list with people who live within delivery distance.

Lead generation for a tiffin service means putting the kitchen in front of students, PG residents and office workers inside the distance a hot meal can travel. GullySales works on the sources that send those people to your WhatsApp, and on a count of which source sent whom.

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 tiffin services

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

  • “The kitchen has a fixed number of places”

    A tiffin kitchen cannot serve everyone who asks. A lead from across the city is a wasted message, because the box would arrive cold. The useful lead lives within the delivery lanes, so the work starts with a map of where the cook can actually reach.

  • “A new customer is replacing someone who left”

    Students finish exams, colleagues get transferred, families move. Every departure opens a place that needs a newcomer. Lead generation here is a refill routine that runs all year, with extra effort around college joining and new office batches.

  • “The PG owner is a lead source and a gatekeeper”

    A PG owner decides what hundreds of residents hear about food. One owner who trusts the kitchen sends batch after batch of new arrivals. Treating the owner as a partner, with a clear line to hand over, beats chasing each resident.

  • “Enquiries from search and posters look the same until counted”

    A message that says 'tiffin available?' hides whether it came from the map, the gate poster or a friend. Without a note of the source, the kitchen keeps paying for posters that do nothing and ignores the listing that works.

What we do

What we deliver for tiffin services.

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

  1. A delivery-area map

    A drawn list of lanes, colleges, PGs and office parks the kitchen can reach hot, used to decide where posters and messages go.

    Result: A one-page map showing where a new enquiry is worth answering.

  2. A PG owner and office admin list

    Names and roles for each PG and nearby office, with a short trial offer written for the person who answers lunch questions.

    Result: A sheet naming who to speak to at each PG and office.

  3. Poster and QR set

    Posters for gates, colony boards and pantry walls, each with its own QR code opening a WhatsApp chat.

    Result: Each poster carries a different code, so a scan shows where it was put.

  4. A first-message reply

    A saved answer to 'tiffin available?' that asks the area, the food preference and the start date.

    Result: A reply you can send from the phone without typing again.

  5. A source-of-lead sheet

    Every new enquiry marked with how they found you: map, poster, PG owner or friend.

    Result: A count of enquiries by source for the first set of customers.

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.

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. 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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should I advertise to the whole city?
No. Only people near the kitchen can receive a hot meal, so wide reach spends effort on enquiries you have to refuse. Keep the target to the lanes your delivery person can cover.
How do I know which poster brought a customer?
Give each poster its own WhatsApp QR code and ask every new customer one question at the first chat: where did you see us. Write the answer in the customer sheet.
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.
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.
