Managed IT service providers · Lead generation
Reach the company in the month its IT executive resigns or its auditor arrives.
Lead generation for a managed IT provider means being in front of a company when its IT arrangement changes: a resignation, a growth spurt, an audit or a falling-out with the current vendor. GullySales sets up the channels that hear about those moments, the questions that sort an agreement from a one-off job, and a record of every enquiry with its seat count.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
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 managed IT service providers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Most callers want a fix, not an agreement”
A broken printer or a laptop price is a break-fix job. Treating every call as a managed services lead fills the pipeline with people who will never sign.
“The best leads have a date attached”
A company whose vendor agreement ends in March, or whose ISO surveillance audit falls in autumn, will decide on a known day, and that day is seldom written down.
“Introductions arrive with no record”
A CA mentions you to a client over the phone, the founder sends a WhatsApp a week later, and nobody notes who sent the work or thanks them for it.
What we do
What we deliver for managed IT service providers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Five questions that sort an agreement from a call-out
Number of users and devices, who looks after IT today, when that arrangement ends, what prompted the call and who signs, asked on every first call.
Result: Break-fix requests stop crowding the pipeline.
Trigger pages with their own offers
A takeover check for companies whose IT person is leaving and an audit-readiness review for those facing a questionnaire, each with its own short form.
Result: Enquiries arrive already carrying a reason to sign.
Lead-sharing terms with vendors and distributors
Written terms with the Microsoft, security and backup partners who pass you leads, covering how fast you reply, who owns the account and how the outcome is reported back.
Result: Partner leads get answered, and partners keep sending them.
An enquiry register counted in seats
Every call, form, WhatsApp and introduction logged with users, devices, source and the date the current arrangement ends.
Result: You can see the pipeline in seats, not just names.
A call-back date for every 'not now'
Prospects tied to another vendor given a follow-up date a few weeks before their term ends, with the reason to call written beside it.
Result: Last year's polite refusals become this year's assessments.
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.
Where enquiries come from
Where a managed IT provider's next agreement comes from, and what to note when it arrives.
- Introduction from a chartered accountant
- Note the CA's name, the client company and what the CA noticed, such as a new entity or an audit gap. Call the founder that day and send the CA a short thank-you.
- LinkedIn message from a founder or COO
- Record the company size, the sender's role and the trigger they mention. Reply in the same thread with two questions about users and the current setup before offering a call.
- Website form asking for outsourced IT
- Ask for users, locations and the current IT arrangement on the form itself. Reply with an assessment slot, and record which page the form was sent from.
- Lead passed on by Microsoft or a distributor
- Log the partner, the product the buyer asked about and the partner contact. Reply to the buyer first, then tell the partner what happened, as their programme expects.
- A former client contact at a new company
- Office managers who liked working with you change jobs. Record the old and new employer, and ask whether the new company has anyone looking after its IT.
- Customer security questionnaire or audit request
- Note the deadline, the standard named and who in the company owns the reply. Offer a scoped review against that deadline instead of a general pitch.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
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 work runs for managed IT service providers
- 1
Assess
A free audit of where your current agreements came from, how many clients are per-user against break-fix, how renewals are handled and how fast new enquiries get a reply.
- 2
Write the scope and price model
One scope sheet, two or three per-user tiers and a proposal format the finance head can read without a call.
- 3
Be found at the moment of change
Pages, listings and referral routes aimed at resignations, audits, growth and vendor takeovers.
- 4
Follow up to signature
Assessments booked, proposals chased on dates fixed when they are sent, and prospects with a known contract end date called before it.
- 5
Renew and add seats
Renewal packs, licence reviews and new-service proposals for every client, with the outcome read against the baseline.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.

- Google Business Profile

- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

- Search visibility
- Social media on a schedule
- Review management

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.
One office, and we say so
