Scrap recycling companies · Lead generation
Bring in factories with scrap to sell and mills with orders to fill.
Lead generation for a scrap yard means two enquiry routes: sellers who hold metal to clear, and buyers who want graded material. GullySales works on both routes, so a stores manager and a mill purchase head can each find you and reach a person who answers.
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 scrap recycling companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The seller and the buyer are different leads”
A stores manager asking for a pickup and a foundry buyer asking for a lot need different pages, different replies and different people on your side. Mixing them into one enquiry form loses both.
“A plant remembers who lifted last time”
Once a factory has seen a clean weighbridge slip and a payment on the promised day, it calls the same yard again. A lead from an estate you already serve is worth more than a cold search, so the first lift deserves care.
“Enquiries leak between the call and the truck”
A rate is quoted, a pickup date is half agreed, and nobody writes it down. The seller rings the next yard. Lead generation fails at this gap far more than at the search result.
What we do
What we deliver for scrap recycling companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Separate routes for sellers and buyers
One path for factories and contractors who want scrap lifted, and another for mills and foundries who want graded lots, each with its own contact and reply.
Result: Every enquiry shows which route it came from.
Metal-wise landing pages
A page each for MS scrap, aluminium, copper and brass, cable scrap and factory clearance, naming the lot sizes you lift and the areas you cover.
Result: A stores manager can see that you buy the metal the plant has.
A quote log
A sheet recording rate, quantity, pickup date and who spoke to the seller, with a flag on every quote not yet confirmed.
Result: Unconfirmed quotes appear in one list for a second call.
Factory outreach list
Plants in your industrial belts, with the stores or purchase contact where it is known, built from public listings and your own lifting history.
Result: A list of scrap-generating plants with a named contact to approach.
Source tagging on every lift
Each load is tied to the call, search, bid or introduction that produced it.
Result: You can see which source produced a repeat seller.
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
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.
