FMCG distributors · Lead generation
Find the next outlets to cover and the next company to represent.
Lead generation for an FMCG distributor means finding the shops, wholesalers and institutional buyers that are not on your beat yet, and finding the companies about to open a territory. GullySales works on the outlet map, the capability profile and the enquiry log that turn those names into first orders and appointments.
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 FMCG distributors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“An uncovered street is a lead list already”
Every locality on the town map has shops your salesmen have never entered. Setting the beat routes against the map shows which lanes, markets and new colonies sit outside coverage, and each uncovered shop is a prospect with an address and a phone to call.
“A company announcing a territory is a lead with a deadline”
Brands tell their regional managers first and the trade press later. A distributor who hears late sends a profile after the shortlist is made, so watching which companies are expanding in your district matters more than a general mailer to every brand.
“Institutional buyers search for a supplier, not a salesman”
A hostel warden or a caterer looks for a bulk supplier on Google and WhatsApp and does not see your kirana beat. Without a listing and a rate sheet, that enquiry goes to the wholesaler who picked up the phone.
“A lead with no named salesman goes nowhere”
A shop owner mentioned at the godown counter, a caterer's call to the owner's phone and a sub-distributor's message all vanish unless one person is assigned and one register records them.
What we do
What we deliver for FMCG distributors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Uncovered outlet map
Beat routes marked on a town map, with shops outside coverage listed by locality so each salesman holds a named set to visit.
Result: A list of uncovered shops by locality, each assigned to a salesman.
Brand watch list
A list of companies expanding in your district, with the regional manager's role and the date you last wrote to them.
Result: You can see which companies you have written to and which you have not.
Capability profile
Outlet count, towns, vehicles, godown space, brands held and collection record in one file, ready to attach to a message.
Result: One file that answers a sales manager's first questions.
Enquiry log
One sheet where every call, WhatsApp message and counter enquiry is entered with its source, its owner and its next step.
Result: Every enquiry carries a name and a next step.
Institutional rate sheet
A catalogue and rate sheet for hostels, canteens and caterers, with a Google Business Profile so a buyer searching for a supplier finds you.
Result: A rate sheet you can send straight back to a bulk enquiry.
How the result is measured

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How the lead generation work runs
- 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.
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.
