Interior fit-out contractors · Referral marketing
Be the contractor a consultant names when a client asks for one more quote.
Referral marketing for an interior fit-out contractor is how architects, project managers, past clients and landlords' teams name your company when a project needs a contractor. GullySales records who sent each project and builds the contact routine around the people who already trust you.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
What referral marketing means
Referral marketing is asking an existing customer to recommend you to someone they know, usually with a reward for both sides. It differs from a loyalty scheme because it brings in a new customer rather than a repeat purchase. GullySales builds the ask and the reward into a point where a customer is already satisfied.

For interior fit-out contractors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Referrals arrive and nobody asks who sent them”
A project comes in with the line that the architect suggested you, and the enquiry sheet does not say which architect. The thanks never reaches him.
“A consultant has nothing to point to”
A consultant recommends a contractor he has seen finish a floor and answer queries politely. He needs a project record, a reference call and a floor he can visit.
“The client's facility head moves on”
The person who signed off your handover joins another company. Unless you stayed in touch, your name does not go with him.
What we do
What we deliver for interior fit-out contractors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A register of who sends work
Architects, project managers, facility heads, brokers and suppliers, each with the projects they have sent and the last time you spoke.
Result: You know who your best referrers are.
A reference pack for each project
A one-page project sheet and the name of the client contact who agreed to take a reference call.
Result: A consultant can check you in a day.
A site visit routine
An invitation to a consultant to see a running site or a finished floor, with the client's permission.
Result: Seeing the work does what a brochure cannot.
Outreach to leasing brokers and building teams
Brokers who place companies in buildings and managers who handle fit-out permissions, each visited with a project sheet.
Result: You are known where a new tenant asks who can fit out.
A thank-you routine inside the rules
A note, a message or a courteous call to the people who referred you, with nothing of value that breaks their firm's policy.
Result: Referrers hear that it mattered.
A report against the baseline
Projects by referrer, invitations from referrers and repeat work, set beside the baseline recorded before the work began.
Result: You can see which relationships bring work.
How the result is measured
- Referrals received
- Referral conversion rate
- Cost per referred customer
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How referrals work in this trade
These are the people who send fit-out work, and what to do with each.
- Architects and interior designers
- They name a contractor they trust to build their drawings. Show them a finished floor, answer their drawing queries politely and record every project they brought, so your thanks is specific.
- Project management consultants
- They shape the bidder list, and their firms limit what they may accept. Ask what is allowed, give clean documentation and be known before the tender, not during it.
- Facility and admin heads of past clients
- The person who signed off your handover is your best reference. Ask at handover if you may give his name to a future client, and keep in touch when he changes company.
- Leasing brokers and landlords' teams
- A broker who places a company in a building is asked who can fit it out. Visit the brokers in your area and the building managers, and leave a project sheet, not a brochure.
- Specialist suppliers and sub-contractors
- Suppliers of glass, laminates, lighting and air-conditioning meet buyers before you do. Tell them which projects you want, and note which supplier introduced which client.
- What never to do
- Do not give a consultant or a client's staff a commission, a gift or a favour in return for a recommendation. It breaks the rules of most firms and can end the relationship and the project.

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
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
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
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
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.
