Industry associations · Social media

Post for the managing director who reads LinkedIn, not for a general audience.

Social media marketing for an industry association means using a few channels to show the sector what the body does and who stands behind it. GullySales plans posts around policy updates, events and member voices, with LinkedIn as the main channel.

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.

Sales and marketing for industry associations, the overview.

For industry associations

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

  • “The audience is a handful of designations”

    A managing director, a finance head, a plant head and a supplier's marketing lead make up the readership. Posts written for the general public miss all of them, and the page looks busy without reaching a single buyer.

  • “Event photographs carry little meaning alone”

    A stage photograph with a row of office bearers tells a director nothing. The same event with a line on the question discussed and the decision taken gives a reader a reason to follow the page.

  • “Members will share what they are proud of”

    A member company that sat on a committee or hosted a visit will repost a note about it. Without a request and a ready line, the association loses the cheapest reach it has.

  • “Personal profiles outweigh the page”

    A president or secretary who posts speaks with more weight than the association handle. Without agreed topics, the office bearers either stay silent or contradict one another.

What we do

What we deliver for industry associations.

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

  1. Channel choice note

    A written decision on which channels the association uses, with LinkedIn first and others only where the sector's readers are.

    Result: The team knows which channels to keep and which to drop.

  2. Post formats for policy and events

    Reusable layouts for a rule explained, a representation made, a meeting held and a member visit.

    Result: Each kind of news has a ready format.

  3. Office bearer posting guide

    Agreed topics and a short checklist so presidents and secretaries speak consistently and within the body's decisions.

    Result: The leadership posts on topics the committee has cleared.

  4. Member share kit

    A short line and an image for members to repost, with a polite request.

    Result: Members have something ready to share the day it matters.

  5. Reply and enquiry handling

    A note on who answers comments and how a membership question moves to a call.

    Result: No enquiry on social media is left unanswered.

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.

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need many channels?
No. A sector body is read mainly on LinkedIn and in messaging groups. Add another only if your members actually use it.
Can we post about members?
Only with their agreement. Ask each company before naming it or showing its people, and keep the request in writing.
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.
