The buyer needs to know your camera will catch their defect, and a brochure cannot prove that.
A vision buyer does not want a camera. They want the scratch, the missing cap or the wrong label caught, every time, at line speed. Whether that is possible depends on the part, the surface, the light and the speed, and the buyer cannot judge it from a catalogue.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Machine vision is the use of cameras, lighting and software to inspect, measure, read or guide parts on a line without a person looking. GullySales helps vision firms show their work on real parts, qualify enquiries that begin with a defect, and follow up trials through to an order.
So the sale runs on a trial. The plant sends samples, you test them, and you show what is found and what is missed. A firm that hides the misses loses trust. A firm that explains them wins it.

Who it is for
This is written for you if machine vision is what you make or sell.
- Vision integrators inspecting parts for auto, packaging and electronics makers
- Firms making code reading, label checking and cap or fill inspection systems
- Makers of measuring and gauging systems using cameras
- Software firms building inspection applications on top of standard cameras
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A firm that would promise to detect any defect on any part before seeing samples
- A firm that offers only cameras and leaves the setup to the buyer
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of machine vision.
Samples first, price after
The plant sends good and bad parts. Whoever returns a clear result, with images of what was caught and what was not, is trusted with the project.
Defect described in the plant's words
The buyer says 'burr on the edge' or 'cap not seated'. Matching that language in your pages and replies shows you work on their kind of part.
Line speed and throughput
The question is whether the system keeps up with the line. Stating the conditions of past installations, rather than a general speed, is the honest answer.
Changeover and retraining
A plant making many variants asks how a new part is taught and by whom. A system that only the vendor can retrain worries them.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell machine vision.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“They sent samples, we reported, and they vanished”
The trial report goes by email and no one talks to the quality head about it.
“Every enquiry is a different defect and we answer from scratch”
There is no library of past inspections, so the first reply is written new each time.
“Buyers think a vision system is a plug-in”
They expect a price on a call. The honest answer needs the part and the line, which loses the impatient ones unless the page explains why.
The scope
The work we would propose for machine vision.
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.
- Inspection pages by defect and part typeA page for surface defects on metal parts, one for cap and label checks, one for dimension measurement, each with example images and honest limits.
- A sample-trial intakeA form and a courier note for sending good and bad samples, with the line speed and the defect stated.
- Trial report follow-upA call with the plant's quality head after each trial report, to walk through the images and the next step.
- An inspection image library with permissionA set of before-and-after examples with part details removed where the customer asks.
Outreach to quality heads
A message to quality and production heads in industries whose defects you inspect, built around a defect you have caught.
What we do
What you get for machine vision.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
Defect-led page set
A plant searching for a defect by name finds a page showing how it is inspected.
A sample-trial request form
Collects the defect, the line speed and the shipment details so a trial can start on receipt.
A trial-report walkthrough call
Turns an emailed report into a conversation with the person who decides.
An image library of past inspections
Shortens the first reply, and shows range to a new buyer.
How the result is measured
- Sample trials requested
- Trial reports sent
- Follow-up made on each trial report
- Projects won after trial
- Repeat inspection stations at the same plant
- Enquiries by defect type
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.
- Past inspection projects with images where permitted
- Parts and defects you handle well and those you decline
- A sample trial report from a past enquiry
- Camera and lighting brands you use
- Plants waiting on a trial report right now
Export and new regions
Selling machine vision 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.
Remote trials
Samples can travel and images return by email, which makes trials workable across borders. Courier time and customs paperwork for samples are part of the plan.
Integration partners overseas
Some buyers abroad want a vision system integrated by a local firm. Whether you supply the system alone is a decision for you.

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.

Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.
Option 3

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.
