Tourist guide services · Lead generation
A guide gets enquiries from the places travellers plan, not from the gate.
Lead generation for a tourist guide is the work of putting your name in front of a traveller, a hotel desk or a teacher while the trip is still being planned. GullySales works on the sources that send enquiries for your sites and languages, and on a record of which source sent which tour.
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 tourist guide services
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The best enquiry arrives before the traveller lands”
A family choosing a guide for Hampi or Jaipur starts the search at home, on a phone, days before the visit. The guide who appears in that search, with a clear language and meeting point, is chosen long before the touts at the gate get a chance.
“Agents send the booking and keep the name”
Much of a guide's work comes through operators and travel desks, which hold the traveller's details. Without a direct way to reach that traveller, every tour is a one-day sale with no review and no repeat, so the lead has to be captured at the meeting point.
“Hotel desks recommend one name, not five”
When a guest asks the concierge for a guide, the desk names whoever is easiest to call and has never let a guest down. Being that name takes a card, a clear fee and a habit of thanking the desk that referred the guest.
“Schools and companies book from a document”
A teacher or admin head organising an outing wants an itinerary, a group fee and a named person to call. A guide with only a phone number loses that booking to an operator who sends a one-page proposal.
What we do
What we deliver for tourist guide services.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A list of every source that can send a tour
Google, WhatsApp, hotel desks, operators, schools and travel forums, each written down for the sites you cover, so you know where to spend your time.
Result: You can say which sources are worth your effort and which are not.
A tour enquiry form that asks the right things
Date, group size, language, ages and the site, collected in one WhatsApp message or form so you can quote without a long exchange.
Result: Each enquiry arrives with the details a quote needs.
A source tag on every enquiry
A note of whether the traveller came from search, a hotel, an operator or a referral, entered when the enquiry arrives.
Result: The record shows which source sends tours and which only sends questions.
A capture step for agent bookings
A short friendly message sent on the day of the tour, with permission, so the traveller knows your name and can reach you again.
Result: Travellers who came through an agent can be asked for a review.
A proposal sheet for groups
One page with the walk, the timing, the group fee and what is included, ready to attach for a teacher or an organiser.
Result: A group buyer gets a proposal the same day they ask.
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
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.
