Cold-chain logistics providers · Lead generation

Find the shippers whose cargo your reefers already suit, then reach them by name.

Lead generation for a cold-chain provider means identifying the dairies, pharma depots, seafood processors and fruit packers whose temperature band and route match your fleet. GullySales builds the target lists, the route pages and the enquiry capture that put your vehicles in front of those shippers.

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 cold-chain logistics providers

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

  • “A shipper with the wrong cargo is a wasted call”

    A fleet set for chilled dairy gets nothing from a call to a frozen-seafood exporter who needs minus eighteen on a port run. Each lead has to be sorted by temperature band and route before anyone dials, or the sales head spends days on conversations that cannot end in a load.

  • “The quality head and the logistics head are two different leads”

    The logistics head wants a vehicle that is free and a rate. The quality head wants logs and a fault procedure. A shipper who has only spoken to one of them has not yet decided, so the lead record should name both and note who has been reached.

  • “Return legs are a lead source nobody uses”

    A reefer coming back from a delivery town with the unit switched off is a vehicle without a load. Shippers in that town who send cold cargo the other way are leads with a built-in reason to talk, because the route already exists.

  • “Enquiries from load boards arrive without cargo detail”

    A caller asking for a rate to a city gives no temperature, weight or loading time. Without a short set of questions asked at the first contact, the quote is a guess and the shipper compares it with three others.

What we do

What we deliver for cold-chain logistics providers.

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

  1. A shipper list sorted by cargo and route

    Dairies, ice cream makers, seafood processors, pharma distributors and fruit packers near your base, each marked with cargo type, usual destination and the person to ask for.

    Result: A list your sales head can call from, grouped by temperature band.

  2. Return-leg shipper search

    A list of cold-cargo shippers in the towns your reefers already deliver to, matched to the route home.

    Result: Each outward route has named shippers for the way back.

  3. A booking-question set for first contact

    Cargo, temperature band, weight, route, loading time and pre-cooling need, asked in the same order on the form, the call and the WhatsApp reply.

    Result: Every enquiry arrives with the details needed to quote.

  4. Lead record with two contacts per shipper

    A shared sheet that holds the logistics contact, the quality contact, the cargo and the last conversation.

    Result: You can see which shippers have been reached on both sides.

  5. A trial-trip offer for one named route

    A short note offering a single trip on a single route, so a shipper can test your records without committing to a contract.

    Result: A shipper can say yes or no to one trip.

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.

What to capture or send

What a reefer operator records on a first call with a shipper.

Cargo and its temperature band
Write what the shipper loads and the band it must hold, chilled or frozen. A vehicle that cannot hold the band is the end of that lead.
Pickup point and drop points
Record the plant or cold store and each delivery town. It shows whether the route matches a lane you run or a return leg you can fill.
Load size and pack type
Pallets, crates or insulated boxes decide the vehicle. The dispatcher quotes from this, not from the shipper's first line.
Who in quality will sign off
Name the logistics contact and the quality contact separately. The quality head asks for the records and may decide before the trial trip.
Current provider and what failed
A shipper who left a provider after a fault is open to a trial. Note the reason in the shipper's words, without criticising the other firm.

Who it is for

This is written for these cold-chain logistics providers.

  • Reefer truck operators for dairy, ice cream and frozen foods
  • Temperature-controlled transport for pharma and healthcare distributors
  • Seafood and meat transport from ports and processing units
  • Fruit, vegetable and flower carriers on long routes
  • Multi-temperature vehicle and shared reefer load operators
  • Insulated box and last-mile cold delivery services
  • Cold chain providers serving retail and QSR chains
  • Reefer container haulage near ports and inland depots

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no spare vehicle or driver for a trial trip, so a new lead would meet a refusal.
  • Your logs and fault procedure are not written down, so a quality head's first request would stall the lead.
  • You want pharma shippers but hold no records of controlled runs, so leads would expect proof you cannot show yet.

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 ask how many enquiries your team can answer well, who answers after hours, and what a good enquiry looks like. Without this, the system fills a funnel nobody is watching.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We read your call log, WhatsApp chats, enquiry sheet and platform dashboards. The baseline is recorded: enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Search and maps are chosen for people ready to buy, ads for people who are not yet looking, and content and referrals for trust.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms, tags, the lead record and the first-reply message are built and tested end to end. We submit test enquiries ourselves before any media money is spent.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    Enquiries are traced to source and judged by what became orders, not by volume alone. Channels that fill the sheet with poor enquiries are cut back. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

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.

Tell us what you need
Should we chase pharma shippers or food shippers first?
Start where your vehicles and records already fit. A fleet with logged chilled-dairy runs has a proof set for food shippers now. Pharma shippers need a written quality pack, so build that first and then approach them.
How do we know a lead is worth a trial trip?
Check that the temperature band, route and loading time match a vehicle you can spare. A shipper who matches on all three is worth a trip. One who matches on only the route is worth a note, not a vehicle.
Do we need to buy a contact database?
Not to begin. The shippers near your base and on your routes are findable from their own sites, trade listings and cold store tenant lists. Buy data only after you know which cargo types you want more of.
Should a reefer operator buy a list of shippers?
Build the list from the cargo and routes you already run, such as dairies near your depots. A bought database gives names with no cargo or temperature detail, and your dispatcher still has to research each one. Names found by route have a reason to take your call.
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.
