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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
