Manufacturing · Forging & Metal Forming
Our forgings come off the press near net shape, and the buyer still wants a machined price comparison.
Precision forging earns its place when the forged part removes machining. The buyer who compares it with a part cut from bar needs to see the whole cost: material saved, machining saved, tool cost and the quality of the grain flow.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Precision forging produces parts close to their final shape, with tight tolerances and little machining left to do, such as gears, bevel gears, valve bodies and hubs. GullySales helps precision forgers show what machining a customer saves, so buyers weigh the forged part against a machined bar, not just a rate.
A quotation that gives only a forging rate invites a comparison that precision forging often loses on paper. The sales work is to put the comparison on the page.

Who it is for
This is written for you if precision forging is what you make or sell.
- Precision and warm forging shops making gears, hubs, flanges and valve parts
- Forgers with in-house die design and finishing dies
- Units supplying automotive transmissions and industrial gearboxes
- Shops with machining, grinding and inspection on site
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A shop that cannot measure its forgings to the tolerance it quotes
- A forger without die design capability or a dependable tool-room partner
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of precision forging.
Net shape against machining
The engineer compares the forged part with a machined one. They want to know how much machining remains and on which faces.
Dimensional reports and inspection
The buyer asks for a dimensional report on the first lot and agrees a control plan. Measuring equipment held is checked.
Die design and development
Precision dies need development and a few trials. The buyer wants to know how many trials to expect and who carries the cost.
Material and grain flow
Alloy and case-hardening steels are named, and buyers value a shop that can explain grain flow and heat treatment.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell precision forging.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“They compare us to a machined part and we lose on rate”
The buyer sees a forging rate and a machined rate. Savings in material and machining time do not appear in either.
“Die development takes trials and the buyer loses patience”
Nobody explained the trial stage, so a normal iteration looks like a problem.
“Our best work is invisible because it is a part inside a gearbox”
There is nothing to photograph that explains it. The shop has no way of showing its precision.
The scope
The work we would propose for precision forging.
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 net-shape comparison sheetA short paper comparing a forged part with a machined one for a sample part, with the steps that disappear.
- A die-development explanationPlain steps from drawing to approved sample, so the buyer knows what the trials are.
- Prospecting among gearbox and transmission makersGearbox, axle, valve and pump makers who buy near-net-shape parts.
- Sample-to-order follow-upA call plan from the first sample through dimensional report to release.
Inspection record presentation
A way of presenting your dimensional reports so a quality manager sees the control plan at a glance.
What we do
What you get for precision forging.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A net-shape comparison paper
Explains what the forged part saves, using a part you have made.
A die-development timeline page
Names the stages from drawing to approval without promising durations.
A gearbox and transmission buyer list
Named firms and the part type.
An inspection summary
Measuring equipment and reports in one document.
How the result is measured
- Qualified drawings received
- Comparison requests answered
- Die development approvals
- Sample approvals
- Repeat orders after first lot
- Machining-hours saved reported by buyers
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.
- A forged part you made and the machined part it replaces
- Dimensional reports from past lots
- Inspection and measuring equipment list
- Die design and trial history
- Customers and parts supplied
Export and new regions
Selling precision forging 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.
Overseas gearbox and axle makers
Precision-forged blanks are bought by makers of transmissions and axles abroad. Your current export enquiries tell you whether you are already in this channel.
Inspection reports for foreign buyers
Dimensional reports and material certificates are standard requests. Say what you issue, and how.

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.
