B2C app startups · Lead generation

Find the people who install the app and then use it, not only the people who tap an ad.

Lead generation for a B2C app is the work of getting a stranger to leave a phone number, join a waiting list or install, and then reach a first useful action. GullySales works on the sources, the sign-up path and the follow-through that turn an install into a person you can reach again.

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 B2C app startups

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

  • “An install is not yet a lead”

    The user has a download on the phone but no reason to be remembered. Until they verify a number, finish one task or opt in to messages, the startup cannot reach them again. The lead is made at the first action, so that is where the form, the OTP and the permission prompts must earn their place.

  • “Paid sources fill the top and the bottom stays empty”

    A Reels ad, a Google App campaign and a creator video each bring a different kind of person. Judged by cost per install alone, the cheapest source wins and the best one is switched off. The comparison that matters is the count of people from each source who come back and act.

  • “The waiting list before launch is a lead asset”

    A founder with a launch date has weeks in which a landing page, a creator mention and a college or community group can collect interested numbers. Left unused, that list is rebuilt at full ad cost after launch, with strangers instead of people who asked.

  • “Referrals are leads with a trust advantage”

    A friend's invite carries a reason the ad cannot give. The reward, the share message and the landing page decide whether the invited person installs or ignores it. A reward the user does not want, such as a coupon for a product they never buy, gets a polite nothing.

What we do

What we deliver for B2C app startups.

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

  1. Source map for the first users

    A written list of every route a user reaches the app by: ad, store search, creator, referral, WhatsApp forward and web page. Each is given a link that records where the install came from.

    Result: You can see which route each new user used.

  2. Waiting-list page and capture form

    A single page that explains the app in the user's language and collects a number with consent. It sends the visitor to the correct store link on their phone.

    Result: A launch list that belongs to you, with consent recorded.

  3. Sign-up path review

    We go through the install, OTP and first screen as a new user on a modest Android phone and list each step that asks for more than it gives back.

    Result: A short list of changes for your developers, in order of damage.

  4. Creator and community briefs

    Briefs for creators, student groups and hobby communities that say what to show in the app, which link to use and what not to claim.

    Result: Briefs your team can send out without rewriting them.

  5. Referral offer and share message

    A reward the user actually wants, a message worded for a WhatsApp forward and a landing page for the person who receives it.

    Result: A referral flow you can test with a small group first.

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

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the lead generation work runs

  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.

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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we buy installs or collect numbers first?
Collect numbers where you can, since a person who gave a number can be reached when the app launches or changes. Bought installs are tested later, one source at a time, and judged on who returns.
Can you promise a number of leads?
No. The number depends on the app, the offer and the budget. We set up the tracking so each source can be compared on the same basis, then decide with you where more money should go.
Do we need a website for this?
A single page is enough to start. It carries the store links, the waiting list form and a short explanation, and it gives search and creators a place to send people.
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.
