Agricultural exporters · Social media

Show importers the farm, the packhouse and the loading before they ask.

Social media for an agricultural exporter is mainly LinkedIn, with a supporting presence on Instagram and YouTube, used to show real operations to buyers abroad. GullySales plans the posts, the profile and the importer messages around what a cautious buyer wants to see.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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.

For agricultural exporters

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

  • “The buyer checks you out first”

    Before replying to a message, an importer looks up the sender on LinkedIn. A profile with products, ports, certificates and a few honest operations posts reads as a real firm. An empty profile reads as a middleman.

  • “Operations are the content”

    Sorting lines, cold rooms, container stuffing, a lot before loading: these are the pictures an importer values. A posed stock image of a field says nothing about your packhouse, and a buyer can tell.

  • “Posts reach the wrong people”

    Posting about harvest to Indian followers does nothing for an importer in Rotterdam. The audience is sourcing managers and buyers abroad, so the profile and posts must be written for them, in their language of trade.

  • “Claims need care”

    Statements about yield, quality outcomes or health benefits of produce carry rules that differ by destination and product. Keep posts to what you do and ship, and check claims with your own adviser.

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 LinkedIn company and founder profile

    Profiles rewritten around products, ports, certificates and the markets you serve.

    Result: An importer who looks you up finds a clear, consistent picture.

  2. A post plan from real operations

    A list of post ideas drawn from sorting, packing, loading, farm visits and fair preparation.

    Result: Your team knows what to photograph and what each post is for.

  3. Photograph and caption guidance

    A short guide on what to shoot at the packhouse and the port, and how to caption it for a buyer.

    Result: Anyone on the floor can take a usable picture.

  4. Direct message templates

    Opening and follow-up messages for sourcing managers who view or follow the profile.

    Result: A buyer who engages with a post gets a considered reply.

  5. A simple engagement record

    Who viewed, followed or replied, logged against the importer list.

    Result: Social activity is tied to named importers and not just counted.

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.

Which platform matters most for an exporter?
LinkedIn, because buyers and sourcing managers use it for work. Instagram and YouTube help show the farm and packhouse. We start with LinkedIn and add the others if they suit the product.
Should we post about harvest and weather?
Only if it informs a buyer about supply. Availability notes and sample readiness help an importer plan. General farm pictures with no supply information add little for a buyer abroad.
Can social media bring export orders directly?
It can start conversations with importers, but orders follow samples, specifications and trust. We use social media to get the first reply and to support the buyer's checks.
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.
