LegalTech startups · Lead generation
Count a lead when it is a named firm with a tool owner.
Lead generation for a LegalTech startup is the work of finding firms and in-house teams that have the problem your product solves and getting a conversation started with the person who feels it. GullySales works on the target list, the first message and the record of which conversations became trials.
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 LegalTech startups
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A list of every advocate in a city is noise”
A litigation boutique, a corporate practice and a trademark desk buy different things. Pulling every lawyer from a directory fills the sales sheet with people who will never use a diary tool or a clause library, and the team stops trusting the list.
“The person who feels the problem is rarely the one on the website”
The junior who keeps the court diary or the clerk who files hears about a missed date first. The partner's name sits on the letterhead. Outreach that reaches only the letterhead gets polite interest and no trial.
“A form fill from a founder is not a firm lead”
Online legal services draw company founders who download a checklist and leave. The record needs to say whether the visitor asked about price, scope or the reviewer, because those three questions lead to three different follow-ups.
What we do
What we deliver for LegalTech startups.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A target list by practice area, city and firm size
Firms and in-house teams chosen against the buyer you sell to, with the tool owner named where it can be found.
Result: You can read a list and say why each firm is on it.
A first message built on one real problem
A short note about a missed hearing date, a contract backlog or a filing window, written for the role receiving it.
Result: Each message names a problem the recipient recognises.
A lead record with source and role
Every enquiry logged with where it came from, who asked and what they asked for.
Result: You can see which source brought firms that tried the product.
A referral route from company secretaries and CAs
A plain note these professionals can pass to clients, within what their own professional rules allow.
Result: The referrers know what to send and what you do with it.
A scorecard that stops at the paid firm
Leads counted through trial, week-two use and payment, not only to the first call.
Result: You see which lead source ends in a paying firm.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry

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
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
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 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.
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.
