Manufacturing · Food, chemicals, pharma and medical
We make good formulations, but buyers only reach us through a middleman.
A pharma unit sells to other businesses: marketing companies that want a product made, distributors, institutions, exporters. None of them buys on an advertisement. They check the licences, ask for the plant details, request samples, and visit.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Pharmaceutical manufacturing sales and marketing is the work of making a drug maker or contract manufacturer visible to the companies, distributors and procurement teams that buy from it. GullySales builds the capability pages, enquiry handling and follow-up that carry a business buyer from first search to a signed arrangement.
The unit that loses is not the one with the weaker product. It is the one whose website says nothing a buyer can check, whose quotation went out and was not followed, or whose enquiry from an overseas importer sat for a week.
What you may say in public is limited, and the limits change by product. We write about your plant, your capabilities and your process. Claims about what a medicine does, and which approvals you hold, are written only as your regulatory adviser confirms.
Last updated 16 Oct 2026. Licence, certification, labelling and advertising rules for pharmaceutical manufacturing differ by product and change. We describe them in general terms, so check the current position with your own adviser or the regulator before you publish a claim.
7 types of work
Each kind of pharmaceutical manufacturing is bought differently, so each has its own page.
Open the one that matches what you make. It covers who buys it, where the order is lost and what we would do.
API ManufacturingOur molecule is good, but the formulator has never seen our plant.- Tablet ManufacturingWe press tablets all day, yet marketing companies pick the unit whose reply came first.
- Capsule ManufacturingBuyers ask whether we can fill their capsule, and our website never says.
- Contract Pharma ManufacturingA brand owner hands over a product and watches whether we call back.
- NutraceuticalsEveryone wants a private label and few can tell which unit to trust.
- Herbal ProductsOur herbs are genuine, but the buyer has no way to check.
Pharma PackagingOur cartons are clean and accurate, but the pharma buyer does not know us.
Who it is for
This is written for you if pharmaceutical manufacturing is what you make or sell.
- Formulation units making tablets, capsules and other dosage forms
- Active ingredient and intermediate manufacturers
- Contract and loan-licence manufacturers looking for brand partners
- Makers of nutraceuticals and herbal products sold to marketing companies
- Suppliers of pharma packaging to drug manufacturers
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A business that wants to advertise prescription medicines to the public; that is not what we do and your adviser will explain the rules
- A unit that expects us to make or imply health or cure claims
- A company that cannot yet show its plant or its documents to a visiting buyer
How buyers choose
What decides who wins in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
The plant dossier
A marketing company or distributor asks for the company profile, the product list, the plant layout and the licences held. They compare dossiers before they compare rates.
Sample and a plant visit
Samples are examined, and a buyer or their quality team comes to look at the plant. A site that is well kept and a person who explains it well count for a lot.
Quality system and audit readiness
Buyers ask about the quality system and expect to audit. What you can show and what is confirmed by the certifying body is stated carefully.
Price per unit and minimum order
Contract buyers compare per-unit prices and minimum batch size across several units, and the response time to the first enquiry is part of the picture.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell pharmaceutical manufacturing.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“Our website says nothing a buyer can use”
A page of stock photographs and a licence number does not answer the questions a brand owner asks. Capabilities, batch sizes and dosage forms are missing.
“We get enquiries and cannot tell which are serious”
Genuine marketing companies and casual price collectors write the same one line. Nobody asks the questions that sort them.
“The overseas importer wrote and we replied too late”
An enquiry from a distributor abroad, answered after a week, goes to the next unit on their list.
“Third-party manufacturing deals take a year to close”
A long deal needs steady contact. Without a follow-up routine, interest cools between the sample and the visit.
The scope
The work we would propose for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
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 capability page per dosage formTablets, capsules, active ingredients and contract manufacturing each described by what you make, at what scale, with what facilities.
- A plant and documents packCompany profile, product list, plant photographs and the documents a buyer asks for, kept ready in one folder and one link.
- Business enquiry qualificationA form and a call script that sort marketing companies, distributors and importers from price collectors.
- Quotation and sample follow-upA routine for every quotation and sample sent, with a named person who phones and records what was said.
- Distributor and brand-partner outreachLists of marketing companies and distributors by region and therapeutic range, approached with your capability sheet.
- Export enquiry handlingReplies to overseas enquiries with a document pack and a follow-up plan, starting from the buyers you already have.
What we do
What you get for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
Capability pages by dosage form
A brand owner sees what you can make and at what scale before they write.
A plant visit guide
What the visitor will see and which documents are shown, so a visit is organised and not improvised.
A qualifying form for business enquiries
Asks who they are, what they want made and in what quantity, so a serious request is answered first.
A sample and quotation tracker
Lists what was sent to whom and who owes the next call. It stops interest cooling.
An export reply pack
Documents sent to an overseas buyer with the first reply, assembled once and reused.
How the result is measured
- Qualified business enquiries
- Quotation requests received
- Follow-up done on each quotation and sample
- Plant visits arranged
- Trial orders and first batches won
- Repeat orders and loan-licence arrangements renewed
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 the work involves for pharmaceutical manufacturing
- 1
Read your capabilities and enquiry history
We go through the dosage forms you make, the enquiries you receive and what happened to the last few quotations.
- 2
Set up the capability pages and plant pack
Each dosage form gets a page, and the plant documents are gathered into one pack your adviser has seen.
- 3
Fix the enquiry and sample path
The form, the call script and the tracker are joined, so each enquiry has an owner.
- 4
Approach brand partners and distributors
Lists are built by region and range, and approaches go out under your name with your approval.
- 5
Report against the baseline
Enquiries, quotations, visits and orders are compared with the record taken before work began.
What we need from you
What to have ready before we talk.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Your website link, or a note that you do not have one
- Dosage forms and capabilities you want to offer
- Plant photographs and a layout you are comfortable sharing
- Licences and certificates you hold, as your adviser allows them to be shown
- Recent enquiries from marketing companies, distributors or importers
- Quotations sent in the last year and what became of them
Export and new regions
Selling pharmaceutical manufacturing 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.
Importers and registered distributors
Overseas pharma buyers are usually importers, distributors or marketing companies in regions such as Africa, South-East Asia and Latin America. We begin with your own export enquiries and existing buyers.
Dossiers and registrations
Many countries require product registration and a dossier before sale. What each country asks is for your regulatory adviser to confirm, and we do not state it.
Language, time zones and samples
Replies, samples and calls run across time zones and sometimes languages. We set the follow-up around the buyer's working hours.

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
