Corporate event organisers · Lead generation

Find the company that is about to plan an event before it asks for three quotes.

Lead generation for a corporate event organiser means putting your name in front of the HR, admin and marketing heads who brief events, at the point where a brief is still forming. GullySales works on who to list, what to send them and how each enquiry is recorded.

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 corporate event organisers

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

  • “The brief starts weeks before the quote request”

    A managing director says the annual day should be bigger, and the HR head begins asking colleagues for names. The organiser who is already known to that company gets the first call. Everyone else enters at the quote stage, when the concept is fixed and only price is left.

  • “Event types come from different desks”

    An annual day or offsite is briefed by HR or admin. A dealer meet or product launch is briefed by marketing or sales. One generic message to a company reaches the wrong desk, so each lead list is built by event type first and by company second.

  • “Enquiries arrive from agencies as well as from companies”

    Advertising, PR and branding agencies hand client events to an execution partner. That enquiry looks different from a direct one: the agency holds the client relationship and wants proof you will not approach the client yourself. It needs its own route into your pipeline.

  • “A lead with no budget holder is half a lead”

    The person who calls you is seldom the person who signs. A lead record that shows only the caller hides the finance reviewer and the managing director, and that is where quotes stall.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate event organisers.

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

  1. A target list by event type and city

    Companies in your city that run annual days, dealer meets, launches or offsites, with the desk that briefs each format.

    Result: A list where every company has an event type and a named desk beside it.

  2. Outreach notes written for each desk

    A short note for HR, another for marketing and another for procurement, each opening with an event you have run that suits that reader.

    Result: Three notes, each naming a format and a past event.

  3. An agency introduction pack

    What you handle on the ground, how client contact is respected and which venues you work with, written for an agency account manager.

    Result: A pack an account manager can forward to a client.

  4. An enquiry form that asks the right things

    Event type, guest count, city, preferred month and who approves the budget, so the first reply can be a costed plan and not a list of questions.

    Result: Every enquiry arrives with the details a quote needs.

  5. Source tracking on every lead

    Each brief tagged as referral, search, agency, empanelment or past client, so you can see which route brings the briefs you win.

    Result: A sheet showing where each brief came from and whether it was won.

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

Record these on every event brief that comes in.

A brief is worth more when the sheet shows who briefed, who pays and what the event is.

Event type and format
Annual day, dealer meet, launch or offsite. It decides which desk briefed you and which past event you send back as proof.
Guest count and city
A hundred guests in Pune and a thousand in Goa need different venues and crew, so the first reply can be a costed plan.
Who approves the budget
The caller is seldom the signer. Naming the finance reviewer early tells you who else must read the quote.
Preferred month and date flexibility
Venues in popular months fill early. A flexible date lets you offer a cheaper slot before the client settles on one.
Agency or direct
An agency brief carries client-contact rules. Mark it at entry so nobody writes to the end client by mistake.

Who it is for

This is written for these corporate event organisers.

  • Organisers of annual days, town halls and employee engagement events
  • Product launch and dealer meet specialists for manufacturers and consumer brands
  • Offsite and incentive trip organisers for sales teams
  • Corporate gifting and conference-support companies that run events
  • Organisers for IT and BPO companies with large employee bases
  • Organisers focused on pharma, insurance and banking meets
  • Boutique agencies that run a few brand events a year
  • Organisers that manage events on behalf of an advertising or PR agency

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no sample plan or past event to show, so a well-targeted list would meet a reply with nothing behind it
  • Nobody on your team can cost a brief without asking the venue first, so every new enquiry would sit unanswered
  • Your crew is booked through the planning season and a new brief would only be turned away

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.

We only get leads from referrals. Is that a problem?
Referrals are good briefs, but they depend on who happens to be talking. A list of target companies and a clear route for search and agency enquiries gives you briefs you chose, not only the ones that arrive.
Should we buy a contact database of HR heads?
Be careful. A bought list carries stale names and mixed permissions. Building a list of companies you have reason to approach, and confirming the desk through the company's own pages and your network, gives cleaner contacts. Check current messaging rules before bulk emails or messages.
How many enquiries make a good pipeline?
There is no standard figure. Judge it by the briefs you can answer well. Enquiries you cannot cost properly are worth less than a few you can, so track quotes sent against events won.
We run only a few large events a year. Do we still need lead generation?
Yes, because a few large events means each missed brief costs more. A short list of companies that run big annual meets, with a named desk each, lets you meet them before the brief is shaped. Large events also take long to plan, so the early introduction matters.

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.
