HMC machining companies · Lead generation
Find the few plants that buy large machined castings, and reach the right role.
Lead generation for an HMC shop means finding the named plants, and the sourcing or vendor development role inside each, that buy housings, valve bodies and casings of your size. GullySales builds the list, the first message and the follow-up for each account, and you keep the technical conversation.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What lead generation means
Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For HMC machining companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A lead here is a plant and a role, not an enquiry form”
A form fill is rare for a gearbox housing. The real lead is a vendor development manager at a plant whose current machinist is stretched, and nobody at your shop knows that manager's name yet. Generation starts with finding the name, the part and the supplier gap.
“The owner approaches three plants and stops”
Production pulls the owner back to the shop floor, so the approaches end after the first few replies. The remaining plants stay unvisited for years. A list with a stage beside each name keeps the work moving when the owner is busy.
“Buyers move when a vendor slips, not when a brochure arrives”
A sourcing head looks for a second source after a late delivery or a rejected lot. Your message lands well only if it is already in their inbox and says plainly which pallet size and which castings you take.
“A lead that visits and goes quiet is still a lead”
After a plant visit the buyer's quality team asks nothing for a while. Silence is not a no. Each such account needs a dated next step, such as a sample report or an offer of a trial lot.
What we do
What we deliver for HMC machining companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Researched target list
Plants that buy large machined castings, with the role to approach, the parts they buy and the vendor they use now where that is public.
Result: You hold a written list of named plants with a stage beside each.
First message and capability sheet
A short message for sourcing roles and a one-page sheet listing pallet size, axes, CMM range and the largest casting you machine.
Result: A sourcing head can forward one sheet to a quality manager.
Second-source trial offer
A letter proposing a trial lot on a non-critical part, so the buyer can inspect your work without risking a key housing.
Result: The letter names the trial part and what the buyer will inspect.
Foundry referral note
A note for foundries whose customers ask for finished machining, stating the casting sizes and weights your pallets take.
Result: A foundry can pass your note to a customer without rewriting it.
Lead stage sheet
A sheet that records each account as researched, approached, replied, visited, first article or approved.
Result: Every named plant shows a stage and a dated next step.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry

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.
How the lead generation work runs

Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.
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.
