Contract logistics providers · Social media

Use LinkedIn to show how your sites run, so the shortlist already knows your name.

Social media for a contract logistics provider is mostly LinkedIn: a place where supply chain heads, plant managers and the consultants who write RFQs see how a warehouse is actually run. GullySales works on a posting routine built from your own sites, your people and your operating practice.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For contract logistics providers

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

  • “The audience is a few hundred named people, not a crowd”

    A contract logistics sale involves a supply chain head, a procurement lead, a finance approver and sometimes a consultant. Reach is measured by whether those people recognise you when an RFI goes out, not by how many strangers saw a post.

  • “Fleet photographs say nothing about how the work is done”

    A picture of a truck or a racked aisle looks the same for every provider. The buyer wants to see the dock scheduling board, the cycle count sheet, the way a shift handover is written down. Practice is the content.

  • “Client plants cannot be named, so posts go vague”

    Contracts can stop you naming the shipper. Posts then describe nothing in particular. Describe the kind of goods, the kind of site and the problem solved, and the post becomes specific without breaking the agreement.

  • “Site heads have stories and nobody asks them”

    The people who run a transition on the ground know what went wrong on day three and what fixed it. Those accounts are the strongest posts you have, and they stay in the site office unless someone collects them.

What we do

What we deliver for contract logistics providers.

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

  1. LinkedIn profiles for the company and its leaders

    The company page, the managing director and the heads of operations and sales set out the same corridors, services and sectors in the same words.

    Result: A visiting buyer finds one consistent account of what you run and where.

  2. Posts built from site practice

    Short posts on dock planning, inventory counts, returns handling or a labour compliance routine, written with the site head and cleared for client confidentiality.

    Result: Each post shows something an operator would recognise as real.

  3. A consent routine for naming clients

    A one-line question at contract signing asking whether the client agrees to be named, to be photographed on site or to take a reference call.

    Result: The proof you may show is written down before you need it.

  4. Consultant and shipper follow list

    A maintained list of supply chain consultants, plant heads and trade association contacts, with the posts they react to.

    Result: Your outreach and your posts meet the same named people.

  5. Trade show and association posting

    Notes before, during and after a logistics event, with the follow-up message for each person you met.

    Result: A contact from a show is a record, not a business card in a drawer.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Posts and pieces to plan

What a contract logistics firm can post that a supply chain head will stop to read.

How a site handles a shutdown week
A post from the site head describing what was planned for stock, labour and transport, with no client named.
What goes into a pricing model
A short explainer on per-pallet, per-order and fixed-plus-variable models, with the cases each suits.
A transition from the old provider
A post on how a handover is planned, written in the words of the transition manager, with consent for any client detail.
A site walkthrough clip
A phone video of receiving, storage and dispatch at a site, with labels and client marks hidden.
A systems integration note
A post on how the warehouse system connects to a client's ERP, written by the person who set it up.

Who it is for

This is written for these contract logistics providers.

  • Dedicated warehousing for manufacturers
  • In-plant and line-side logistics for auto and engineering plants
  • Inbound milk-run and supplier pickup operators
  • FMCG and consumer durables distribution centres
  • Pharma and healthcare 3PLs with temperature-controlled storage
  • Retail and ecommerce replenishment operators
  • Spare parts and aftermarket logistics
  • Reverse logistics and returns processing

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your clients will not allow any mention of their plants, and you have no practice of vague but useful posts.
  • Nobody in operations will write or review a post.
  • You are about to bid on a contract and want a post to do the work of a proposal.

How it works

How the social media 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

    Confirm audience, platforms and access

    We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.

  2. 2

    Review the current presence

    We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.

  3. 3

    Build the calendar

    Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.

  4. 4

    Create, approve and publish

    Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.

  5. 5

    Record enquiries and adjust

    Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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 the managing director post under a personal profile?
Yes, where the managing director is willing. Buyers in this trade trust a named operator more than a company logo. Keep it to what the business has run and learned, and keep client names out unless consent is on file.
Which platform matters besides LinkedIn?
A short video of a site walk-through sits well on YouTube and can be linked from proposals. Other platforms matter less for a buyer choosing a multi-year warehouse partner. Check each platform's current rules before running anything paid.
Can we post about a client win without naming the client?
Describe the industry, the type of goods, the shape of the operation and the problem, and leave the name out. Ask the client in writing whether the name may be used, and record the answer.
How should the managing director post on LinkedIn?
Under their own name, in their own words, about what the firm does on the floor. Buyers follow people more than pages. Avoid client names unless consent is in writing, and have the operations head check any claim about a site.
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.
