The buyer wants a working pilot, and your page sells connectivity in general.
IoT buyers rarely ask for an IoT device. They ask for a way to know where the trucks are, whether the freezer held its temperature overnight, or when the tank is empty. They read a device page looking for their problem.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
IoT devices are connected hardware, such as trackers, gateways and monitoring nodes, that send readings to a server or an app. GullySales explains your devices in the language of the buyer's problem, whether that is a fleet, a cold chain or a water tank, and manages the pilot enquiry through to a deployment order.
Most pilots stall between the demonstration and the purchase order. The unit worked on the bench, the buyer's team did not log in, and nobody phoned to ask why.

Who it is for
This is written for you if IoT devices is what you make or sell.
- Makers of GPS trackers, telematics units and fleet devices
- Makers of monitoring nodes for cold chain, water, energy or agriculture
- Gateway and connectivity hardware makers selling to system integrators
- Firms that sell a device plus a dashboard or app
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A firm without a working unit it can put in a customer's hands for a trial
- A maker who plans to sell only to consumers on marketplaces
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of IoT devices.
A use case, then a device
The buyer starts from the thing they want to track or monitor, and searches in those terms.
A pilot with a small number of units
A few devices go on trial. The buyer judges battery life, signal in their location and how simple the dashboard is.
Connectivity and platform questions
Which network, which protocol, where the data lives, who owns it and what happens if a service ends.
Integrator recommendations
Many IoT sales go through system integrators, who pick the device they have installed before.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell IoT devices.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“The pilot ended and nobody ordered”
The trial finished with no agreed success measure and no call to ask for the order.
“Our website talks about technology, not their problem”
Protocol lists and block diagrams mean little to an operations head who wants to cut spoilage or know where a vehicle is.
“Integrators pick someone else”
Without a datasheet, an integration guide and a named contact, an integrator will fall back on the device they know.
“Support questions kill the deal”
Buyers ask who they call when a unit goes offline. A vague answer loses the order.
The scope
The work we would propose for IoT devices.
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 for each use caseVehicle tracking, temperature monitoring, tank levels and asset tagging each get a page in the buyer's words, with the device that serves it.
- A pilot plan the buyer signsA one-page agreement on what the pilot will show, who monitors it and what happens next if it works.
- Integrator and partner recruitmentA pack of datasheets and integration notes for system integrators, plus a short list of integrators to approach.
- Short product demonstration videosA clip of the device in the field and the dashboard in use, for the buyer to forward.
Pilot review calls
A scheduled review with the buyer's team at the end of the trial, with the readings in front of them.
What we do
What you get for IoT devices.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
Use-case pages
Answer the buyer's actual question before they read a spec.
A pilot agreement template
Sets the success measure in advance, so the end of the trial leads to a decision.
An integrator pack
Datasheet, integration guide and contact, so an integrator can specify your device.
A short demonstration clip
Shows the device and dashboard working, in a form easy to send on WhatsApp.
A support answer sheet
A written statement of how issues are reported and handled, ready to hand to a buyer.
How the result is measured
- Qualified device enquiries
- Pilots started
- Pilots converted to orders
- Integrator enquiries
- Repeat and expansion orders
- Support-related lost enquiries
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.
- Datasheets for the devices you sell
- Descriptions of the pilots you have run
- The platform or dashboard you provide, with screenshots
- A list of integrators who have used your device
- Your warranty and support terms
Export and new regions
Selling IoT devices 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.
Distributors and integrators abroad
Overseas sales usually go through a distributor or an integrator who adds their own platform. Your existing export contacts are the place to begin.
Radio and network approvals
Overseas markets may require approvals for wireless devices. These differ by country; the buyer and your adviser must confirm what applies.
Samples and shipping
Battery-powered units can be difficult to ship. Check freight rules before promising a sample.

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.

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.

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.
