Surface treatment companies · Lead generation

Bring in enquiries that already name the alloy, the process and the lot size.

Lead generation for a surface treatment company is the work of putting your tanks in front of engineers whose drawing note names a process you run. GullySales works on the process pages, the outreach lists and the enquiry form that turn a drawing note into a request for quote.

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 surface treatment companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The drawing note is the real lead”

    An engineer who writes anodise, black or passivate on a drawing has already chosen the process. The lead is the person holding that drawing, so generation starts from the process name and the alloy rather than from a general message about finishing.

  • “A thin enquiry costs a phone call”

    A message that says we need anodising for some parts forces a callback to ask the alloy, the size, the thickness and the quantity. Leads that arrive without those four details slow the quote and lose to the shop that asked for them up front.

  • “Fabricators and machine shops send repeat work”

    One stainless fabricator needing passivation after welding, or one machine shop sending aluminium parts out, brings lot after lot. A list of such firms in your region produces better leads than a wide spray of general enquiries.

  • “Confidential sectors hide their buyers”

    Defence-linked and electronics buyers rarely publish who they are. Their engineers still search the process name, so the lead reaches you through the page rather than through a client list you could never show.

What we do

What we deliver for surface treatment companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A lead map by buyer type

    A list of the enclosure makers, fabricators, tool makers and machine shops around you, sorted by the process each would most likely send out.

    Result: A named list you can work through, with the process each firm would send.

  2. A page and form per process

    Each process page ends in a short form asking for alloy, thickness, colour, size and quantity, so the enquiry reaches you quotable.

    Result: Enquiries arrive with the four details a quote needs.

  3. An introduction note for engineers

    A short note and your capability sheet, written for the engineer who owns the drawing note, sent to the list from your side.

    Result: A note you can send to each firm on the list with one attachment.

  4. A source label on every enquiry

    Each enquiry is tagged by where it came from: search, outreach, referral or a repeat buyer.

    Result: You can see which route brought which enquiry.

  5. A log of unreturned sample requests

    Requests for a trial lot that went quiet, with the date and the engineer, so none is dropped.

    Result: A short list of conversations still worth a call.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries generated
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries by source

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. 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. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 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

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Tell us what you need
What counts as a lead for a surface treater?
An enquiry that names a process, an alloy and a size is a lead. A message that only says you do surface finishing is a prompt to ask questions. We set the form so the first kind arrives.
Should we chase large buyers or small shops?
Both give work, in different ways. A large buyer needs approval documents and moves slowly. A fabricator or machine shop sends repeat lots with less paperwork. We help you decide the mix from your own tank capacity.
Will lead generation fill our tanks?
We cannot promise enquiries or volume. We work on being found by the right engineers and on making each enquiry easy to quote, and your capacity decides how much of it you take.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
