Agricultural exporters · Lead generation

Find importers abroad who buy your produce, instead of waiting for the next fair.

Lead generation for an agricultural exporter means building a list of importers, distributors and retail buyers who already buy the product from another origin. GullySales works on that list, the first message to each name and the record of who replied.

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 agricultural exporters

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

  • “The agent holds the only list”

    Plenty of exporters know their importers only through one agent in one country. When the agent changes loyalty or stops answering, the contacts go with them. A list the firm owns, with the buyer, the product they import and the date of each message, removes that dependence.

  • “Fair cards go cold”

    A stack of visiting cards from a fair in Dubai or Cologne is a list of people who walked past every stand. Without a message to each card, naming the product they asked about, the card is a souvenir and not a lead.

  • “Importers search by product and origin”

    A buyer needing Sona Masoori rice or Nashik onions types the variety and the origin into a search or a directory. A name that appears with a grade and a port is shortlisted. A name with only a company profile is skipped.

  • “A price request is not a lead yet”

    A message that asks only for the rate per tonne tells you nothing about volume, port or packing. Treating each one as a hot lead fills the export manager's day with quotes that go nowhere.

What we do

What we deliver for agricultural exporters.

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

  1. A researched importer list

    Importers, wholesalers and supermarket buyers listed by country and product, each with the right contact and what they import today.

    Result: Every name on the list has a product, a country and a contact person.

  2. A first-message set by product

    One opening message for each product, built on what that importer sources, with a specification link and a sample offer.

    Result: The message for a mango importer does not read like the one for a rice importer.

  3. A short qualifying reply

    A reply that asks for volume, destination port, packing and timing before a rate is quoted.

    Result: Price-only senders and real buyers are separated by their answers.

  4. A lead record by stage

    Each importer logged as listed, written to, replied, specification sent, sample sent or trial agreed.

    Result: The export manager can open the record and see where every importer stands.

  5. A source note

    Each enquiry tagged with where it came from: directory, LinkedIn, fair, forwarder or search.

    Result: The routes that bring samples are visible and the ones that bring none can be dropped.

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.

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

    Understand your capacity

    We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.

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.

Tell us what you need
Where do importers for Indian produce come from?
From directories, B2B marketplaces, trade fairs, LinkedIn, freight forwarder introductions and their own searches. GullySales researches buyers by country and product, then writes to them directly with a specification and a sample offer.
Can you promise a number of importer enquiries?
No. Enquiries depend on the product, the season, the destination market and the buyer's current supplier. We build the list, the messages and the record, and report what each route brought.
Do we need our own list if an agent already brings orders?
Yes. An agent's contacts belong to the agent. A list in your own name lets you approach the same importers directly, and continue if the agent changes 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.
