Women's development NGOs · Lead generation

Bring gifting buyers and funders to the women's groups, and keep the helpline separate.

Lead generation for a women's development NGO means attracting the people who will buy what the groups make, fund the programme or place a training batch. It is a different job from reaching a woman who needs support, and the two should never share a form. GullySales works on the enquiry routes for buyers and funders, and leaves support contact alone.

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 women's development NGOs

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

  • “A gifting manager needs a price before a story”

    An HR or admin manager building a festival gift list opens the page, looks for a product, a price, a minimum quantity and a name to call. A moving story with none of these sends the manager to a marketplace seller who answers at once.

  • “The funder enquiry and the support enquiry are not the same lead”

    A foundation officer asking about the savings groups and a woman asking for legal aid need different replies from different people. When both land in one inbox, the sensitive message waits behind a grant query. Separate routes protect both.

  • “A stall visit is a lead only if somebody writes it down”

    At a craft mela, a visitor admires the bags, says the company might order for Diwali and walks on. Without a card that records the name, the interest and the number, the group learns of the order only when a competitor wins it.

What we do

What we deliver for women's development NGOs.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. A product enquiry route for each group

    Every livelihood group gets a page with products, prices and minimums set by the women themselves, and an enquiry button that reaches the coordinator and a second person.

    Result: An enquiry sent from a product page lands with two named people.

  2. A bulk and gifting enquiry form

    A short form asking company, quantity, occasion and date needed, so the group can say yes or no before anyone travels.

    Result: Each form entry shows the quantity and date the buyer wants.

  3. A funder and partner introduction page

    A single page describing the programme, how women join it and how a company or foundation can take part, with a named contact for the conversation.

    Result: A funder can find the programme summary and the right person on one page.

  4. A stall enquiry card and follow-up message

    A printed card for craft melas and a drafted message for each person who leaves a number, sent by the person who met them.

    Result: Every card collected at a stall is typed into the shared record.

  5. A separate help route kept apart from sales

    The support number and hours stay on their own page and never appear inside a buyer or funder form.

    Result: The support page carries no fundraising ask and no sales form.

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.

What to capture or send

Record these separately for buyers, funders and women seeking help.

Product and quantity wanted
A gifting manager asks for a number of hampers or pieces. Record the product, the count and the date, so the group can say honestly whether it can make them.
Gifting buyer's budget range
Asked after the first message, not before. The answer shows whether the group's work fits the order, or whether a smaller pack suits better.
Funder's stated interest
Livelihoods, safety, health or skills. Note the area and who at the funder asked, so the reply goes to the right programme lead.
Source of the stall or event visit
Exhibition, fair, introduction or search. Write it beside the contact. A stall visit with no note is a lost lead.
Enquiry type flag
Mark support request, buyer or funder at the first line. A support request moves to the helpline and never enters the sales list.
Group that would make the order
Note which collective could produce it. The coordinator can then check capacity before promising a date.

Who it is for

This is written for these women's development NGOs.

  • Self-help group federations and microfinance-linked livelihood trusts
  • Handicraft, textile and food enterprise collectives of women
  • Shelters and counselling centres for women in distress
  • Legal aid and domestic violence support organisations
  • Menstrual health and adolescent girls' programmes
  • Women farmers' and agricultural producer groups
  • Skill and vocational training centres for women
  • Anti-trafficking and rehabilitation organisations

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The helpline and the gifting enquiries arrive in one inbox, and nobody has been named to keep them apart.
  • No group has agreed what it can make and by when, so a lead for a bulk order could not be answered honestly.
  • You hope to receive corporate orders without a price list, which a gifting manager asks for first.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

Lead generation for women's development NGOs: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

Define the organisations or buyers you can serve and the reasons they would consider a conversation. Bring examples of accepted and rejected prospects so the selection rule is visible.

Make the scope clear

Agree the research sources, contact approach, qualification rules, and handover. Clarify which meetings count as accepted and what happens to replies that are not ready to buy.

Check the work in use

Review why a prospect was selected and what was learned from the response. Count held, relevant conversations separately from contacts found, messages sent, or meetings booked.

Know when to change course

If the same objection appears repeatedly, adjust the offer or buyer group before increasing outreach. Respect a request to stop contact and keep the exclusion in the record.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

How it works

How the lead generation 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

    Requirements and capacity decision

    Send the requirements brief, then discuss your offer and available sales capacity with us. You receive the scope, fee, and term in writing before committing to the work.

  2. 2

    Source review and baseline approval

    We review available enquiry records and channel dashboards. You confirm the starting figures for enquiries by source, reply time, conversion, and cost per order, including gaps in the records.

  3. 3

    Offer and capture approval

    Your sales lead approves the audience and the questions needed before a call. Page copy and contact-use wording go through your internal review before publication.

  4. 4

    Test enquiry and sales handoff

    We test the agreed routes from submission to the shared record and first reply. The person responsible for sales checks that the record contains enough information to act.

  5. 5

    Launch and source decisions

    Traffic starts on the approved channels. We compare enquiry quality with the baseline and use your sales outcomes to decide which sources need changes or less spend.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. 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.

Should the helpline number appear on the gifting pages?
Keep a link to the support page in the footer, but do not mix the two journeys. A woman in distress should reach support without passing a price list, and a buyer should not be pushed to a counselling line.
Who decides which enquiries we chase?
The groups and the coordinator decide what they can supply and when. We set up the routes and the record; the women's capacity decides which orders are accepted.
Can you promise corporate orders from this?
No. We build the route that makes an order easy to place. Whether a company buys is its own decision, and we do not state a volume or a sum.
Can we ask a buyer to pay in advance?
Yes, a part payment before production is ordinary for handmade work, and it protects the group from carrying the cost of materials. State it in the quote, issue a receipt and keep the arrangement in writing. Check the organisation's own finance rules before fixing terms.
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.
