Optical businesses · Lead generation

Turn the prescription photo on WhatsApp into a booked frame fitting.

Lead generation for an optical shop is what happens between somebody sending a prescription on WhatsApp and walking in to try frames. GullySales sets up the intake, a reply that offers two frames and a time, and a follow-up for everyone who was tested and left without buying.

A sorting hopper in a depot yard: a wide gold hopper on a steel frame, its throat splitting into three chutes that feed three floor bins, one heaped past its own spout, one half caught, one barely started

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 optical businesses

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

  • The real enquiry form is a photograph of a prescription

    It arrives at night, often from a test done somewhere else, and it is the most serious enquiry an optical shop gets. Most shops answer it with a price.

  • A test that ends at the door is a customer you paid for

    The prescription goes into a bag and gets typed into a website that evening. The try-on has to be offered before the chair is empty.

  • A camp contact is not a lead until someone rings it

    A day at a school or an office produces a page of names. Without a caller and a date beside each one it stays a page of names.

  • Contact lens customers leave without a word

    The trial pack runs out, nobody checks in, and the reorder goes to whoever appears first in a search. The reminder is the entire retention plan.

What we do

What we deliver for optical businesses.

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

  1. A WhatsApp intake for prescriptions

    A short reply asking for the power, the wearer's age, what the glasses are mainly for and a budget band, before any price is quoted.

    Result: You answer with a recommendation instead of a number.

  2. Two frames and a time in the first reply

    Photographs of two frames from current stock that suit the power and the budget, with a slot offered to try them.

    Result: The conversation ends in an appointment, not a price comparison.

  3. A try-on booked before the chair is empty

    A step at the end of every eye test where the frame session is offered for the same visit and the phone number is recorded.

    Result: Fewer prescriptions walk out to be filled elsewhere.

  4. Camp contacts given an owner and a date

    Every name collected at a school or office camp assigned to a staff member with a call date and a note of what was discussed.

    Result: A camp turns into visits rather than a stack of forms.

  5. A reorder prompt for lens wearers

    A message timed to when a pack is due to run out, with the power on file and a way to confirm in one reply.

    Result: The reorder comes back to your counter.

  6. Test-to-purchase conversion reported monthly

    Tests done, purchases made and where each customer came from, read against the figures recorded before work started.

    Result: You can see exactly where customers are being lost.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries generated
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries by source

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Who it is for

This is written for these optical businesses.

  • Independent single-location optical shops
  • Multi-branch optical retail chains
  • Optical shops attached to an eye hospital or clinic
  • Contact lens specialist retailers
  • Optical shops with an in-house optometrist
  • School and corporate eye check-up service providers
  • Premium and designer eyewear retailers

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 monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

    Fix visibility

    A completed, accurate profile and a simple routine for asking satisfied customers for a review.

  3. 3

    Build trust

    The optometrist's credentials shown clearly, and real customer reviews replacing an empty or outdated profile.

  4. 4

    Bring customers in

    Local search, outreach for school and corporate eye check-up camps, and WhatsApp for booking a test.

  5. 5

    Retain

    Prescription renewal reminders, a check-up reminder for children, and a loyalty routine for repeat frame purchases.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep

    Three to six months at a time. 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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Somebody tested elsewhere sends us their prescription. Worth chasing?
Yes, and they are among the easiest sales you will make. They have decided they need glasses and are only choosing where. Reply with two frames that suit the power and offer a fitting, rather than a rate for the lens.
Who should be answering WhatsApp during shop hours?
One named person at the counter, with the optometrist stepping in for anything about power. Messages left for the evening get answered after the customer has ordered somewhere else. A holding reply within minutes is enough to keep them.
How do we compete with online glasses retailers?
On the eye test, the in-person fitting and the optometrist's recommendation, which an online retailer cannot offer. We help you make that visible.
Should we keep offering a free eye test?
Usually yes, but not as a giveaway with no next step. Hand over the prescription with a frame try-on booked for the same visit, and record the number for a reminder. A test that ends at the door is the one that walks to an online retailer.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
