Relocation companies · Buyer persona

Write for the HR head, the mobility manager and the transferee as three different buyers.

A buyer persona for a relocation company describes the people involved in a move and what each one needs before saying yes. GullySales works with your sales and coordination teams to put the HR head, the procurement reader and the transferee on paper.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What buyer persona means

A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

For relocation companies

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

  • “The global mobility manager owns the panel”

    This person is judged on how smoothly staff are moved and how costs are tracked. They ask about coverage by city, partner network, escalation and billing, and they remember the vendor that failed them last time.

  • “Procurement reads for risk”

    The admin or procurement reader checks registration, insurance, data protection and invoice format. They rarely care about service quality until those items are in order, so the persona records what they need to see and in what order.

  • “The transferee judges the whole experience”

    A person moving with a family measures you on the flat, the school and the first week. A delayed shipment colours their view of the company, and their opinion reaches the HR head. This persona decides what your coordinators say first.

  • “The individual payer is another person again”

    Someone funding their own overseas move wants reassurance about cost, who does what and what happens when something fails. They have no policy to lean on, which changes both the words and the order of the page.

What we do

What we deliver for relocation companies.

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

  1. Three or four written personas

    Short profiles of the HR head, the mobility manager, the procurement reader and the transferee, drawn from your own calls and enquiries.

    Result: Your sales team can read what each buyer worries about.

  2. A question list per persona

    The questions each person asks before agreeing, collected from past calls, RFPs and coordinator notes.

    Result: Each answer is ready before the buyer asks.

  3. A message map

    What to say to each persona first, second and last, and what to avoid saying to them.

    Result: Everyone writing to a buyer uses the same order of points.

  4. Objections written out

    The reasons HR gives for staying with the current panel, set beside honest replies from your senior person.

    Result: A salesperson has a prepared answer for each objection.

  5. Persona use in pages and outreach

    Website pages and outreach messages checked against the personas so each speaks to one buyer.

    Result: Each page and message addresses one reader.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiry match to persona
  • Conversion rate by persona
  • Content aligned to persona

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

Who is asking

Each reader of a relocation page wants a different answer first.

Global mobility manager with a director moving abroad
Wants to know who handles the visa paperwork, who the single point of contact is and what happens if the shipment is delayed.
HR head reviewing the vendor panel
Wants a single document showing how you report, what you have handled and what changes if the current vendor is replaced.
Procurement reader checking for risk
Wants insurance cover, subcontractor arrangements abroad and how disputes with a transferee are handled.
Transferee with a spouse and school-age children
Wants to know what is arranged before arrival, which choices stay with the family and who to call on the first bad day.
Individual paying for their own overseas move
Wants a price basis, what is included and whether they are dealt with as seriously as a corporate client.

Who it is for

This is written for these relocation companies.

  • IT services and global capability centres posting staff across India and abroad
  • Manufacturing and engineering firms moving plant managers
  • Banks, insurers and consulting firms with regular transfers
  • Multinational subsidiaries in India with inbound expatriates
  • Universities and research bodies bringing in visiting staff
  • Startups making their first senior hire in another city
  • Government and public sector undertakings with posting rules
  • Individuals paying for their own overseas move

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have not yet spoken to an HR head or a transferee, so a persona written now would be your own assumption set down as fact.
  • You serve only one kind of buyer today, so three personas would add documents without changing how you write or sell.

How it works

How the buyer persona 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 the current view

    We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is the finding itself.

  2. 2

    Audit past enquiries and sales

    We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.

  3. 3

    Interview customers and staff

    Structured conversations with recent buyers, held as talk about the last purchase and not a questionnaire. We ask what happened before they called, who else was involved and what they compared. Customers agree before we contact them, and their answers are reported without names.

  4. 4

    Build the personas

    Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.

  5. 5

    Apply to your marketing

    We show where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have. The sales team reads the drafts and says which ring true. A persona they do not recognise is rewritten.

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.

Where does the persona come from?
From your own conversations: RFP questions, calls with HR, coordinator notes and transferee feedback. We write it with your team instead of guessing, and your senior person approves it.
Do we need a persona for each industry we serve?
Start with one for the HR buyer and one for the transferee. Add industry differences only where the buyer really behaves differently, for example public sector units with posting rules.
Does the persona include named clients?
No. It describes roles and concerns. Any example drawn from a client is masked or approved by that client.
Does the mobility manager need a different page from the HR head?
In a smaller company one person holds both roles, so check before splitting. In a large firm the mobility manager asks about process and the HR head asks about cost control and risk. Separate answers on one page work when the headings say who they are for.
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.
