Public relations agencies · Buyer persona

Know whether you are talking to a founder, a marketing head or a finance head.

A buyer persona for a PR agency describes the people who hire you, what each is worried about and who else must agree. GullySales builds them from your past clients and uses them to shape pages, pitches and follow-up.

What buyer persona means

A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

For public relations agencies

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

  • “The founder wants to be seen and fears being exposed”

    A founder in a funded startup worries about the investor's view and the reporter's questions. They respond to an agency that talks about preparation and angle, not volume. Talk about preparation for reporters' questions, the angle and the investor's reading of the story, and leave the volume of articles aside.

  • “The marketing or communications head wants a partner”

    This person has to report on the work internally. They look for clear scope, named people and a way to explain the retainer to their own management. Give this reader a one-page summary of scope, named people and deliverables they can pass to their own management.

  • “The finance head compares fees”

    They ask what is delivered against each payment, who the account lead is and what is outside scope. Clear answers settle this reader faster than praise. Show a plain schedule of what each fee covers and who leads the account, so the reader can compare agencies on facts.

  • “The hospital or developer wants a safe pair of hands”

    Regulated and public-facing buyers worry about a misstep. They look for an agency that explains what it will not say and why. Say what you would not say on the client's behalf and why, and the reader sees the care you take.

What we do

What we deliver for public relations agencies.

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

  1. Persona sheets for each buyer

    One page each covering role, worry, questions, decision makers and the proof that convinces them.

    Result: Your team knows who they are speaking to.

  2. Discovery questions per persona

    The questions to ask in a first meeting, in the order that reveals the announcement, the audience and the decision path.

    Result: Every first meeting gathers the same essentials.

  3. Proposal wording by reader

    The same scope explained in the terms each reader uses, with a page for the finance head.

    Result: Each reader sees a proposal written for them.

  4. Approval map

    Who proposes, who pays and who signs in a buyer's company, so follow-up reaches the right person.

    Result: You know whom to follow up with.

  5. Check against signed clients

    Past clients sorted by persona to show which buyer brought the work you want more of.

    Result: You see which buyer is the best fit.

  6. Objection list per persona

    The doubts each buyer raises, such as cost, control of the message and fear of a wrong story, with an honest answer for each.

    Result: Your team answers doubts the same careful way.

  7. Channel match per persona

    Where each buyer type looks for an agency: investor referral, LinkedIn, an event or search.

    Result: Effort goes where each buyer actually looks.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiry match to persona
  • Conversion rate by persona
  • Content aligned to persona

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

How it works

How the buyer persona 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 the current view

    We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is often the finding itself.

  2. 2

    Audit past enquiries and sales

    We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.

  3. 3

    Interview customers and staff

    Short, structured conversations surface the real language, worries and triggers behind a purchase.

  4. 4

    Build the personas

    Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.

  5. 5

    Apply to your marketing

    We show exactly where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have.

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.

Tell us what you need
Where does the information come from?
From your own clients, proposals and notes of meetings. We write what the records and your team tell us and add nothing from outside statistics.
Can one agency serve all these buyers?
Yes, with different conversations. A startup founder and a hospital communications head need different scopes. We help separate them on paper. We keep them to a page each so your team will use them.
How often do personas change?
When your work shifts, such as entering a new sector. We revise on your word, and an account lead checks the edit. Your account lead checks each sheet before it is used.
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.
