Metal forging companies · Lead generation
Fill the press schedule with drawings from buyers who need a forged part.
Lead generation for a forge is the steady arrival of drawings, grades and quantities from plants that forge, machine or assemble parts that carry load. GullySales works on the sources of those drawings, the questions asked at first contact and the record that shows which source brought which part.
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 metal forging companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A drawing is the real enquiry”
A message that says send rate for forgings is a fishing trip. The enquiry worth pricing carries a drawing, a grade, a finished weight and a yearly quantity. A forge that asks for those four items at first contact turns browsers away early and gives the estimating desk something it can price properly.
“Valve and machinery makers do not know you yet”
Auto and bearing customers already know where the forge is. The valve maker in Pune, the pump maker in Coimbatore and the gear shop in Rajkot also buy forged bodies and blanks, and none of them has your forge on a shortlist. Reaching them means naming the part each plant buys.
“Marketplace enquiries arrive thin”
Listings on IndiaMART and similar directories bring traders with a one-line need. Some stand in for a real plant buyer and some are price checks. A reply that asks for the drawing and the end use sorts the two without losing the genuine buyer.
“Idle press hours point to nearby buyers”
When the hammer or press has open capacity, the nearest buyers are past enquirers who asked for a quote and never ordered. Their details sit in old mailboxes and quote files. Going back to them with the billet sizes you can take is a shorter road than finding strangers.
What we do
What we deliver for metal forging companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
An enquiry route built around the drawing
A form and a WhatsApp prompt that ask for the drawing, grade, finished weight, yearly quantity and end use. Every enquiry lands with one named person.
Result: A buyer can send a complete enquiry in one message, and the log shows which fields were missing.
A researched buyer list outside your top customers
Valve, pump, gear, bearing and machinery makers in your region, matched to the forged parts each one buys.
Result: A named list that gives the part family to offer each plant.
A reply script for marketplace enquiries
Wording for IndiaMART and similar listings that asks for the drawing, the grade and the end use before a price goes out.
Result: A script the sales desk can paste, with the questions in a fixed order.
A lead log with forging fields
A sheet recording source, part, grade, finished weight, quantity, quote sent and outcome for every enquiry.
Result: The owner can read which source brought quotes and which brought trial lots.
A revival note for past enquirers
A short message to buyers who asked for a quote and went silent, naming the part they asked about and the capacity now open.
Result: A list of past enquirers with the part each one asked for.

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.
How the lead generation work runs
- 1
Understand your capacity
We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.
- 2
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.
One office, and we say so
