Our floor cleaner works in the hotel kitchen and nobody else has heard of it.
Cleaning products sell in two different markets, the household shelf and the institutional kitchen. A household buyer is won by a brand and a shop. A hotel, hospital or hostel buys by the can from a supplier it trusts, after a trial in its own housekeeping.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Cleaning products are detergents, floor and surface cleaners, dishwash liquids, toilet cleaners, disinfectants and related goods for homes and for institutions. GullySales helps the maker reach distributors, housekeeping contractors and bulk buyers, and shows the product in the use where it is strongest.

Who it is for
This is written for you if cleaning products is what you make or sell.
- Makers of liquid detergents, floor cleaners and dishwash for retail
- Makers of institutional cleaning products for hotels, hospitals and canteens
- Contract makers filling cleaning products under other brands
- Regional brands seeking distributors in new towns
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A maker who cannot keep the product the same between batches.
- A maker planning to make strong claims about killing germs. Those need the right documents and your adviser.
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of cleaning products.
Trial in the buyer's own place
A housekeeping head tries a sample on their floors and kitchens. The result decides the order.
Dilution and use rate
Institutional buyers compare cost per use, not cost per litre. Dilution guidance matters.
Distributor margin and credit
Distributors decide on margin, credit period and how fast the product moves in shops.
Safety sheet and handling
Buyers ask for handling instructions and a safety data sheet. Having both on hand shortens the conversation.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell cleaning products.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“Institutions buy from a trusted old supplier”
Win a trial, then a small standing order. Follow-up after the trial is where this is decided.
“Shops stock the brand that advertises”
A regional brand wins through margin, a clear pack and a promise to restock fast.
“Our germ-killing claims make buyers nervous”
Describe use and instructions, and let documents carry any claim your adviser approves.
The scope
The work we would propose for cleaning products.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, orders won and, where you sell through dealers or shelves, repeat orders by channel. 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 for institutional usersKitchens, floors, washrooms, laundry: product per use, with dilution guidance.
- Trial programme for housekeeping headsA trial sample, a short guide, and a dated call after the trial.
- Distributor recruitmentA list and pitch for general-trade distributors in target towns.
- Prospect list of hotels, hospitals and hostelsInstitutions in your delivery area, with the person who buys housekeeping supplies.
- Product demonstration videosShort clips showing use on real surfaces.
What we do

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 pack sizes
- Safety data sheets and handling instructions
- Current distributors and institutional customers
- Photographs and clips of use
- Recent enquiries and trial outcomes
Export and new regions
Selling cleaning products 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 of cleaning goods
Overseas distributors and hospitality suppliers buy from India. Use your existing enquiries as the starting list.
Chemical shipping and labels
Liquid goods have shipping and labelling conditions. Your freight forwarder and adviser advise on this.

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.
