Manufacturing · Chemicals & Specialty Chemicals
We sell by the tonne, yet our name is not on anyone's approved list.
Bulk chemical buying is rate-led, and the buyer already knows what they want. They have the name, the strength and a quantity in tonnes or tankers. What they do not have is a reason to add you to the list of suppliers they phone.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Industrial chemicals are the acids, alkalis, salts and intermediates that other factories consume in volume. GullySales builds the product pages, the vendor-ready document pack and the quotation follow-up that bulk buyers expect before they place a purchase order.
So the work is to be easy to find when the need comes, and easy to approve when it does. That means a page for each product that states strength and packing, and a pack of papers that a purchase department can file.
Last updated 16 Oct 2026. Licence, certification, labelling and advertising rules for chemicals & specialty chemicals differ by product and change. We describe them in general terms, so check the current position with your own adviser or the regulator before you publish a claim.
Who it is for
This is written for you if industrial chemicals is what you make or sell.
- Makers of commodity acids, alkalis and salts selling to other factories
- Producers of intermediates sold to formulators and downstream plants
- Bulk suppliers who ship in tankers, drums and carboys
- Regional manufacturers who sell mostly within a few states and want reach beyond them
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A plant whose entire output is contracted to one buyer for the year
- A trader holding no stock or product of its own, who wants us to list chemicals to be sourced after the enquiry
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of industrial chemicals.
Name, strength and quantity
The enquiry arrives as a line: product, concentration, quantity and delivery town. A page that matches that line exactly is found; a page that says "industrial chemicals" is not.
Tanker or drum, and who carries it
Freight is a large part of the landed cost, so buyers compare delivered rates. Your delivery radius and packing choices decide whether you are even in the comparison.
Approved vendor registration
A larger consuming plant lists a supplier only after a form, company documents and sometimes a plant visit. Until then you are a one-off quote.
Lot consistency
Once in use, a buyer cares that next month's lot matches this month's. They ask for a certificate of analysis with each dispatch.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell industrial chemicals.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“Our rate was lower and we still did not get the order”
The buyer's purchase team had a supplier they could already vouch for. A new name with no documents on file loses to a known one at a slightly higher rate.
“Enquiries come from three directories and nobody owns them”
A tonne enquiry and a two-litre enquiry sit in the same inbox. The big one waits behind the small one.
“We deliver within a state and the enquiry comes from far away”
Without a stated delivery area, you quote for places you cannot serve economically and waste the follow-up time.
The scope
The work we would propose for industrial chemicals.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, trial orders won and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform, directory or tool we have not used with you is confirmed with you before it goes in the scope.
- A page per product and strengthCaustic, acids, sulphates, chlorides and the rest each get a page naming strength, packing and the industries that consume them.
- Enquiry sorting by quantityDirectory enquiries tagged by volume and location so a tanker enquiry is answered before a sample enquiry.
- Rate quotation routineA single format for rate quotes with validity, packing and freight stated, followed by a call from a named person.
- Outreach to consuming plantsLists of textile processors, paper mills, water plants, leather units or whoever consumes your product, by district.
Delivery area statement
A clear list of the states and towns you serve with your own transport or a carrier you use, shown on every product page.
What we do
What you get for industrial chemicals.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
Product and strength pages
Each page matches the way a purchase manager types the enquiry, so your plant shows up for that line.
A delivery area map or list
States where you deliver at a competitive freight, so far-off enquiries are screened before a quote is written.
A vendor-registration pack
Company papers, product list and certificates of analysis in one place, ready when a plant sends its form.
A quotation template
Product, strength, packing, rate basis and validity on one sheet. It removes the follow-up email asking what the rate includes.
How the result is measured
- Qualified enquiries by product and quantity
- Quotation requests and follow-up on each
- Vendor registrations completed
- Trial orders won
- Repeat purchase orders
- Enquiries outside the delivery area
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
What we need from you
What to have ready before we talk.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Product list with strengths and packing sizes
- The towns and states you deliver to at an acceptable freight
- Last quotations for tanker-size enquiries and their outcome
- A sample certificate of analysis you send today
- Your directory listings and the enquiry volume from each
Export and new regions
Selling industrial chemicals beyond your home market.
Where you sell decides standards, documents, payment terms and freight. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new region we start from your own enquiries, your existing buyers and the directories you already use.
Importers and traders overseas
Bulk chemicals move through importers and distributors, found on trade directories and Alibaba. We start from the export enquiries and buyers you already have.
Shipping and documents
Bulk shipping of hazardous goods follows its own documentation, which your forwarder and adviser confirm. We build the follow-up around the quote, the sample and the payment terms.

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
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

Engagement options
Ways to work with us.

We run the work, report against the baseline, and you renew on the numbers. The term and the reporting are agreed in writing first.
Option 4
Guidance for your own team or agency
We plan, brief and check the work of your in-house team or current agency, instead of replacing them.
