Manufacturing · Chemicals & Specialty Chemicals
Our product solves a problem, but the buyer searches for a number.
A specialty product is bought for what it does in someone else's process. The buyer does not know your brand, but knows their own problem: foaming, poor dispersion, a colour that fades, a cure that is too slow.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Specialty chemicals are made for a performance, such as a dye, an additive, a finishing agent or a processing aid, not for their bulk. GullySales builds the application pages, trial process and technical follow-up that move a formulator from a sample to a standing order.
So the page that sells it is organised around the application and not around the molecule. A technical person lands on it, sees their problem named and asks for a sample.
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 specialty chemicals is what you make or sell.
- Makers of additives, dyes, pigments, finishing agents and processing aids
- Fine chemical units supplying formulators and brand owners
- Producers who sell by application and trial, not by tonne
- Plants with a technical team that visits customers
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A unit that cannot supply samples or technical help during a trial
- A business whose product claims have not been checked by its own laboratory and adviser
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of specialty chemicals.
Problem-led search
The buyer searches the problem or the function: dispersing agent for pigment paste, softener for cotton. The brand name comes later, if at all.
A trial in their own process
A sample is tested on the buyer's line, in their formulation, with their water and their machine. The first result decides whether a second sample goes out.
Technical data and a named contact
The buyer's chemist wants a technical data sheet with recommended dosage and compatibility, and someone to ring when the first batch behaves oddly.
Switching cost
Changing a specialty input means retesting the product it goes into. A buyer needs a strong reason, and once switched, stays.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell specialty chemicals.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“They liked the sample and we never heard back”
The trial happened inside their plant and no one asked for the result. Months later they order from someone who did ask.
“Our product does five things and the website says all five”
A page for every possible use reads as vague. The buyer wants the page for their use.
“We lose to the big brand even when our product tests the same”
The buyer knows the multinational's technical support. A small maker has to show it has someone to ring.
The scope
The work we would propose for specialty 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.
- An application page per useOne page per application, such as pigment dispersion or fabric finishing, with dosage guidance from your laboratory and a request-a-sample form.
- Technical follow-up scriptsQuestions your technical person asks at the call after a sample: dosage used, what was seen, what to adjust.
- Outreach to formulatorsLists of units that use your product category, by industry and town, reached with a message about their problem.
- Proof pages from your own trialsWhere a customer agrees, a short write-up of what changed in their process. Only what the customer approves is used.
Sample request and trial tracking
A form that records the buyer's process and problem, and a sheet that tracks each sample to a result.
What we do
What you get for specialty chemicals.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
Application pages
Each names the problem in the buyer's words, so a technical visitor knows they are in the right place.
A sample request form
Asks about the process, the current product and the volume, so a sample goes to a serious trial and not to a collector.
A sample-to-result tracker
Lists each sample, the contact, the date and the result. It closes the gap that loses trial orders.
A technical call guide
Gives your technical person the next question to ask, so every trial ends with a result recorded.
How the result is measured
- Sample requests received
- Samples with a recorded result
- Trial orders won
- Repeat orders after a trial
- Qualified enquiries by application
- Time from sample to first call
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 the function of each
- Your technical data sheets and dosage guidance
- The last few sample dispatches and what came of them
- Customers who would let you describe their use
- Industries where your product already sells
Export and new regions
Selling specialty 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.
Formulators and distributors overseas
Specialty products sell abroad through technical distributors and direct to formulators. We start from the export enquiries and agents you already have.
Data and registration
Overseas buyers ask for safety data in their own format and sometimes registration. Which applies is for your regulatory adviser to confirm.
Trade shows you already attend
A specialty chemicals show is where many technical buyers meet suppliers. We plan the follow-up of the contacts you collect there.

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.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
Engagement options
Ways to work with us.
Pick the size of commitment that fits. Every option starts with your brief and a conversation.
Option 1
The conversation on its own
A call after you send your brief. It says honestly whether you need outside help, and many fixes are ones your own team can make.
Option 2
One fix, scoped
Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.
Option 3
An ongoing programme
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.
