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 electrical equipment distributors

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

  • “Contractors scroll for stock news, not slogans”

    A post that shows a fresh consignment of a cable size or a new range of distribution boards gives a contractor a reason to ring. A festival greeting with a logo does not.

  • “LinkedIn reaches the purchase manager and the designer”

    A builder purchase team and an MEP consultant spend time on LinkedIn. A page that explains authorised brands and the kind of project supply you handle gives them a name to remember when a package comes up.

  • “Site photographs need consent”

    A photo of material delivered to a project makes a good post. The site, the builder and the people in the picture belong to someone else, so ask first and remove anything that identifies a site without permission.

  • “A comment is an enquiry”

    A contractor who asks "rate?" under a post wants a reply. If nobody watches the comments, the question goes to a competitor who answers.

What we do

What we deliver for electrical equipment distributors.

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

  1. A channel choice note

    Which platforms suit contractors, consultants, purchase teams and sub-dealers, and which are not worth the effort for your counter.

    Result: You know where to post and where to leave alone.

  2. A post bank for stock and arrivals

    Templates for new stock, brand additions, project supply and product explainers, filled from your own price list and photographs.

    Result: Each post carries real stock or a real product.

  3. A consent routine for site photographs

    A short message asking the builder or contractor for permission, with a record of the reply.

    Result: Every site photograph has a recorded permission.

  4. A comment and message handling rule

    Who answers a comment or message, what they reply with and how the enquiry reaches the quotation record.

    Result: No comment sits unanswered without an owner.

  5. A page profile for each channel

    Bio, links and pinned posts written so that a visitor sees your brands, area and how to send a BOQ.

    Result: A visitor can tell what you stock and how to ask.

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

Each post should give a contractor a reason to remember the counter.

Stock arrival of a cable size or switchgear range
A photo of the drums or boxes with the make, size and a line on how to ask for a quote. It turns a brand claim into visible stock.
How to read a MCB rating for a house wiring job
A short carousel for electricians and small contractors, reviewed by your technical person first, with no promise of what suits a particular site.
A site delivery handled for a project
A photo of a loaded vehicle with the client and site details removed, and a caption about how the drop was planned. It shows you can serve a project.
New brand authorisation announcement
A post that names the brand and the product range only once the maker has confirmed the arrangement and the brand's logo use is permitted.
Meet the person at the counter
A short profile of the staff member contractors ask for by name, shared with their consent. A familiar face keeps trade loyal when a new counter opens.

Who it is for

This is written for these electrical equipment distributors.

  • Cable and wire distributors for building and industry
  • Switchgear, MCB and distribution board dealers
  • Motor, drive and automation component distributors
  • Lighting and LED project suppliers
  • Solar inverter, panel and BOS component distributors
  • Transformer, UPS and power equipment channel partners
  • Panel builders' component suppliers
  • Multi-brand electrical wholesalers supplying sub-dealers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no consent routine for site photographs, so a post about a delivery could show a client's premises without leave.
  • Nobody can reply to comments and messages from contractors, so each post would raise enquiries that wait unseen.

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
Is it worth posting if our buyers phone us?
Posting keeps your name in front of them between orders and shows new stock. Judge it by the enquiries that mention a post, not by the number of likes.
Can we post brand logos?
Only as far as your authorisation and the brand’s guidelines allow. Ask the regional office for approved artwork and keep the reply on file.
Can we use a maker's brand images in our posts?
Only as the maker's brand guidelines or your distributor agreement allow, so read them first and keep a copy. Using a logo outside those terms can cost you the authorisation. Photograph your own stock for most posts, which also proves you hold it.
Which platform suits an electrical counter?
Start with WhatsApp status and a LinkedIn page, since contractors, purchase managers and designers already sit there. Add Instagram only if you will photograph stock regularly. One platform kept current serves better than three left to go stale.
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.
