CNC machining companies · Social media

Post the part that came off the machine this morning.

For a CNC machining company, social media is the part that came off the machine this morning, photographed with the material and the tolerance written beside it. GullySales collects a month of those photographs on one visit to your shop and posts them on LinkedIn, where a procurement engineer scrolls between meetings.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For CNC machining companies

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

  • “The argument about a tolerance is the post”

    A drawing arrives with a tolerance in microns that the part does not need, you ring the customer, and the price comes down. Written up without naming anyone, that is the post a design head stops on.

  • “The job you turned down says more than the ones you won”

    A shop that explains why it refused a thin-wall aluminium run at that quantity sounds like a shop that knows its own machines. The buyer remembers it when a job does fit.

  • “A phone held against the enclosure window beats a film crew”

    Thirty seconds of a five-axis cutter working, coolant on the glass, says more about your capability than a drone shot of the building. Nobody in this trade watches the drone shot twice.

What we do

What we deliver for CNC machining companies.

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

  1. One photograph a week, taken at the machine

    A person on the floor is shown what to shoot and when: the finished part on the bed, the setup, the first article on the inspection table.

    Result: The account runs on your own work instead of stock pictures.

  2. Captions written by someone who can read a drawing

    Each post names the material, the process and the tolerance held, so a buyer can judge in seconds whether you machine what they buy.

    Result: The engineer who matters stops scrolling.

  3. The enquiry you did not quote, once a month

    A short post about a job that went elsewhere and why, written plainly and without a complaint about price.

    Result: Fewer wrong enquiries arrive, and the right ones arrive better briefed.

  4. A page that matches your vendor registration form

    Machine list, inspection capability and certificates kept current on LinkedIn, checked against what your quality documents already state.

    Result: A buyer comparing the two finds the same shop in both.

  5. RFQs traced back to the post that brought them

    Every enquiry that mentions LinkedIn recorded in your CRM and reported against the baseline taken before the work started.

    Result: You know whether an hour of posting is worth the hour.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Platform for this buyer

Where a procurement engineer or a design team checks a machine shop, and what to post.

LinkedIn, for procurement engineers
Post a new machine, a new inspection capability or a certificate renewal, with the part families you can make. Mask the dimensions. The action wanted is a message to your sales head with the drawing and volume.
YouTube, for a part in cycle
Film a 5-axis or VMC cycle with no voice, the tool path visible and the material named in the title. A buyer judges the finish and rigidity in the first moments. The action is to send the drawing for a quote.
WhatsApp groups of your industrial estate
Where the group rules allow, tell fellow units when you have capacity free on a machine type, and what you cannot run. The action is a reply with the drawing and the quantity.
Instagram, for hardware startups
Show a prototype going from CAD to part for founders who need a few pieces. The action is to send the CAD file and the material for a quote.
What not to post
A customer's drawing, part number or logo, any part for a defence or aerospace customer without written clearance, machine settings, or a rejected batch. Check the NDA before photographing a job.

Who it is for

This is written for these CNC machining companies.

  • Job shops doing contract machining
  • Precision component manufacturers
  • Auto ancillary machining suppliers
  • Aerospace and defence component machinists
  • Machine shops serving medical device makers
  • Prototype and low-volume machining shops
  • Sheet metal and fabrication shops with CNC capability
  • Export-focused precision machining units

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

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

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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 social media work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
How often should a machining shop post?
Once a week from the floor does more than five posts from a stock library. Parts finish in your shop every day, so the material is already there. The real limit is who remembers to take the photograph.
Nobody here wants to be on camera. Does that stop us?
No. The part is the subject and the caption does the explaining. Hands, a machine and good light are enough.
Can we post a part we made if we remove the customer's name?
Not always. The shape itself can identify a customer's product, and many NDAs cover that. Ask the customer in writing. If they say no, show a generic part or a test piece made from your own material and drawing, which shows your capability without the risk.
Should we list our machines by make and model on LinkedIn?
Yes, with the axis count and the work envelope, if it matches your vendor registration form and your quality documents. A buyer compares them. Update it when a machine is added or sold, and never list a machine you do not own.
How soon would we see more RFQs?
Fixing quote turnaround and the capability page shows within weeks. Ranking for a search such as five-axis machining in your industrial area takes a few months.
Do we need to advertise?
Most shops benefit first from a faster quote response and a clearer website. Advertising helps when you want a specific capability, such as export orders, pushed this quarter.
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.
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.
