Give an overseas importer the sheet, photos and papers to check you before a container.

An importer in Qingdao sends a message asking for a price on barytes lumps, CIF, with a lab report. One supplier on the list has already replied with a sheet, a photo of the stack and a loading plan. Another replies with a price and nothing else, and the importer has little to forward to the plant.

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

In one paragraph

Mineral export marketing helps overseas importers and agents find an Indian exporter of ores, granite blocks, barytes, bauxite, mica or industrial minerals, and check the supplier before a first shipment. Sales runs from a sample request to a trial container and then a standing contract. GullySales builds the buyer list, the product sheets and the enquiry and sample records.

Overseas buyers cannot visit every yard, so they judge on paper first. They read the product sheet, the inspection arrangements and the packing, and the way an exporter replies tells them how a shipment will be handled.

How buyers decide

How mineral export companies are chosen.

Importers in China, the Middle East, Europe and South-East Asia choose from suppliers they find through search, trade portals, agents and trade fairs. They want the specification, the packing, the loading port, the payment method and proof of past exports, and a sample and a trial shipment come before any commitment. Export rules, duties and permissions for minerals change, so confirm them with your own adviser or customs broker.

A buyer looks for an exporter who ships what was agreed, with matching documents, and who reports a delay early. One mismatch between a sample and a shipment can end the relationship.

The problem

What usually goes wrong for mineral export companies.

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “Overseas enquiries come from unknown names”

    We cannot tell a serious importer from a fishing request, so we reply late or not at all to the real ones.

  • “We rely on one or two agents”

    Our buyers come through agents who hold the relationship, and we cannot reach the importer ourselves.

  • “Our product information is not in a form foreigners read”

    Buyers expect a clear specification sheet and photos, and we send an old catalogue or a phone picture.

  • “Time zones and language slow the replies”

    A message from China or Europe sits overnight, and the competitor who replied first has the buyer's attention.

  • “Sample to shipment drops the buyer”

    Samples pass but the first container is delayed or differs slightly, and the relationship ends before a second shipment.

  • “Policy changes make planning hard”

    Rules on duties and permissions for some minerals shift, and we have no plan for buyers when a market closes.

What we do

What we do for mineral export companies.

Everything included for mineral export companies.

  1. Export product sheets

    A clear sheet for each mineral and grade with specification, size, packing, loading port, minimum lot and use, written in plain English.

  2. Overseas enquiry form and routine

    A form that asks for company, country, quantity, destination port and payment method, with a first reply written so it makes sense to a buyer reading in another time zone.

  3. Exporter website in English

    A website with product pages, loading and inspection information, a company profile and a clear way to ask for a sample or quote.

  4. Buyer list by country and mineral

    Importers and agents grouped by country and mineral, with the products they buy and any contact history.

  5. Sample and first-shipment tracker

    A list of every sample sent and every first shipment planned, with the next step and who will take it.

How the result is measured

  • Overseas enquiries by country and mineral
  • Enquiries qualified against those received
  • Samples sent against trial shipments
  • Repeat shipments from first-time buyers
  • Share of exports through agents
  • Reply time to overseas enquiries

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Worth a page and a campaign of their own

An English product sheet for each mineral and grade, with specification and packing · An overseas enquiry routine that qualifies the importer before a quote · A website that shows the yard, loading, inspection options and past shipments · A buyer list by country and mineral · A first-reply template that carries the sheet, the photos and the loading port · Sample tracking until the buyer decides · Preparation for an overseas buyer's first shipment · Presence on the trade portals where importers search · A plan B market for each product when one country changes its rules

Priority campaigns

Campaigns for what mineral export companies most want to sell.

Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

  • Importer outreach by market

    Direct, personal introductions to importers in one chosen country at a time, with the sheet and a sample offer.

  • Trade portal and search presence

    Cleaned-up listings and pages written for the terms importers use for your mineral and grade.

  • Trade fair preparation

    Before an overseas or Indian export fair, a list of importers to meet and a follow-up note for each afterwards.

  • Existing buyer note

    A note to overseas buyers who have already taken a shipment, with what the yard now holds in their grade and any change in loading or packing.

Beyond search

Where we reach buyers of mineral export companies, beyond Google.

Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.

  • Importers and plants abroad

    Importers and plants listed by country and mineral, each with a first note that names the grade they already buy.

  • Overseas agents and buying houses

    An agent can only pass on what is in writing, so the agent gets a sheet to forward and a plain statement of how you work with agents.

  • Merchant exporters

    A producer who sells through a merchant exporter still needs a profile the merchant can show to the importer.

  • Trade portals and search

    An importer who finds your barytes or granite listing and then searches your company name should meet the same grade, packing and port in both places.

  • Customs brokers and freight forwarders

    A forwarder or broker hears of importers who want cargo moved, so those you already use get a short pack on your products and loading port.

Who it is for

This is written for these mineral export companies.

  • Barytes, bauxite and iron ore exporters
  • Granite block and slab exporters
  • Mica, quartz and feldspar exporters
  • Industrial mineral and mineral powder exporters
  • Manganese and chromite ore exporters
  • Exporters shipping through merchant exporters or agents
  • Mineral processors who have begun to export
  • Traders who source across states and ship through one port

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

How the work runs for mineral export companies

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

    Minerals, ports and markets

    Which minerals you ship, from which port, to which countries, and whether the importer or an agent holds the relationship today.

  2. 2

    One overseas enquiry followed through

    A single enquiry is traced from the first message, through the sample courier, to the first container, to see where the reply slowed.

  3. 3

    Sheets, website and buyer list

    These are what an importer reads before replying, so they are finished before any outreach goes.

  4. 4

    Market-by-market introductions

    Notes go to one country at a time, and every sample sent is entered on the tracker with its next step.

  5. 5

    Reading enquiries and samples with you

    Qualified enquiries, samples and repeat shipments are read with you, and a market that stays silent is set aside.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  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

    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 mineral export companies ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can you handle export documentation?
No. Documents, permissions and duties are for your customs broker and adviser. We prepare the marketing and the enquiry follow-up.
Do you find buyers abroad?
We build the buyer list, write the introductions and track the replies. Buyers decide for themselves, and we promise no number of orders.
We use agents. Do we still need our own website?
Yes. Agents and importers check you online, and a clear site lets you show a buyer directly.
How is this different from a general export consultant?
We work on the selling side, which is sheets, enquiries, samples and follow-up. We do not give advice on regulations.
Can you help if one country closes to our mineral?
We can prepare a second market's buyer list and sheets ahead of time, so outreach has somewhere to move. Which markets are open to your mineral is for your adviser to confirm.
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?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Ads can follow soon after follow-up is in place. SEO and content take longer. How long each takes depends on your business, and we tell you which applies to you after we have spoken. 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?
To start, last month's enquiries in any format and time with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM.
