Agricultural seed companies · Lead generation

Fill the dealer diary with districts you have not yet sold into.

Lead generation for a seed company means finding the input dealers, distributors, FPOs and contract growers who could carry your varieties, and recording each one before the sowing window opens. GullySales builds the list by district, the first approach for each type of buyer and the record that stops a good conversation going cold.

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 agricultural seed companies

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

  • “The lead is a dealer in a district, not a farmer in a crowd”

    A seed company sells through the counter, so the first useful lead is the dealer with shelf space and a customer base. A farmer enquiry matters too, but it is passed to the nearest dealer. Count both, and keep them apart.

  • “Enquiries arrive in the weeks when nobody can answer them”

    Interest peaks just before sowing, when the field team is travelling and the office phone rings out. A dealer who asked on Tuesday and heard nothing by Friday has already spoken to a competitor's representative.

  • “Lapsed dealers are the cheapest leads you own”

    A dealer who stocked you two seasons ago and then stopped has a reason. Nobody wrote it down, so nobody has called. That reason, once heard, tells you what to fix before approaching new districts.

  • “A field day produces faces, not leads”

    Farmers walk the plot, take a leaflet and leave. Unless a name, a village and a crop are written at the gate, the field day was an expense and the district is no closer. Treat the gate sheet as the real product of the day, and photograph it before anyone leaves.

What we do

What we deliver for agricultural seed companies.

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

  1. District-wise dealer target list

    Input dealers and stockists in the districts you want, with the hybrids already on their shelf and the person in your team who will approach each.

    Result: A list you can sort by district, owner and what the dealer stocks now.

  2. A dealer enquiry form in the district language

    A short form on the website and on a WhatsApp link asking for shop name, village, crops sold and licence status, in the language of the belt.

    Result: Every dealer who asks arrives in one place with the same details.

  3. Lapsed dealer call round

    A scripted call to every dealer who stopped stocking, asking one honest question about why, and noting the answer against their name.

    Result: A written reason beside each lapsed dealer, ready to act on.

  4. Field day sign-in and follow-up

    A gate sheet with name, village, crop and phone, and a message sent to each person after the day.

    Result: A named list of attendees tied to the plot they walked.

  5. Distributor and FPO pack

    A short document for the buyer who places larger orders, covering varieties, trial plots, documents held and the contact for complaints.

    Result: A pack a stockist or FPO committee can read without a representative present.

  6. Lead source tags

    Each enquiry marked with where it came from: dealer visit, field day, search, WhatsApp, referral.

    Result: You can see which route brought dealers who restocked.

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.

What to capture or send

What to record when a dealer or a field day visitor shows interest.

Dealer shop name and district
Record the shop, the town and the taluk. The district list shows where the company has no counter and where two representatives are visiting the same shop.
Crops the dealer already stocks
Ask which seed lines are on the shelf. It tells the representative whether the shop is a first stockist or a rival's, and what the pitch must replace.
Sowing window the dealer serves
Kharif, rabi or both, by crop. The window decides how soon the dealer needs stock and when the call must be made, not after the rush.
Field day sign-in with plot crop
Take the visitor's name, village and the crop on the plot. A farmer who grows the demonstrated crop is a lead; a passer-by is not.
Who introduced the dealer
Distributor, representative, FPO or a farmer. The source shows which route brings stockists who place a second order.
Licence held by the dealer
Note whether the shop holds the seed dealer licence. Rules are set by the state, so check with the agriculture department before stocking.

Who it is for

This is written for these agricultural seed companies.

  • Hybrid seed companies for maize, cotton, paddy and vegetables
  • Open-pollinated and certified seed producers
  • Vegetable and horticulture seed companies
  • Oilseed and pulse seed companies
  • Fodder seed and forage crop suppliers
  • Seed companies selling through distributors and village dealers
  • Contract seed production companies working with grower farmers
  • Regional seed companies with a few districts as their home market

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your seed lots for the coming season are already allotted to existing distributors, so new dealer leads would be told there is no stock.
  • Your field team makes few visits and logs none, so a new lead sheet would hold entries no one can follow.
  • You have no decision on dealer terms, so each new dealer would hear a different offer from a different representative.

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. 1

    Understand your capacity

    We ask how many enquiries your team can answer well, who answers after hours, and what a good enquiry looks like. Without this, the system fills a funnel nobody is watching.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We read your call log, WhatsApp chats, enquiry sheet and platform dashboards. The baseline is recorded: enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Search and maps are chosen for people ready to buy, ads for people who are not yet looking, and content and referrals for trust.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms, tags, the lead record and the first-reply message are built and tested end to end. We submit test enquiries ourselves before any media money is spent.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    Enquiries are traced to source and judged by what became orders, not by volume alone. Channels that fill the sheet with poor enquiries are cut back. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

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.

  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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should we collect farmer leads or only dealer leads?
Both, kept apart. Farmer enquiries are passed to the nearest dealer so the sale happens at the counter, and the dealer record shows who followed up. Dealer leads are what widen your shelf space in a new district.
Can we buy a list of dealers?
A bought list gives names and nothing else. It will not say who stocks competing hybrids or who is reachable on WhatsApp. Build your own from district visits, trade associations and enquiries, and check each entry by a call.
How do we know which lead source is working?
Tag every enquiry at the moment it is logged, then compare which sources produced dealers who restocked the next season. A source that brings a large pile of enquiries and no restocking is costing your field team time.
How do we find dealers in a district where we have no distributor?
Start from the input dealers already serving your crop in neighbouring talukas, and ask them who they know. Check each shop's licence with the state agriculture department before stocking. Seed sale rules differ by state, so GullySales lists the shops and leaves the licence check to your team.
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.
