What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

Sales and marketing for HRTech startups, the overview.

For HRTech startups

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

  • “LinkedIn is where the shortlist begins”

    HR heads and founders look at who is talking sensibly about hiring and payroll before they look at a website. A profile with a clear role and useful posts earns a second look. A feed of product announcements earns a scroll past.

  • “The owner is not on the same platform as the HR manager”

    A factory owner may use WhatsApp and a video platform and have no professional network profile. A plan that posts only where HR managers are misses the signer. Choose one channel for each of them.

  • “HR communities reward contribution”

    City HR groups and meetups compare tools among themselves. A founder who answers questions without pitching is remembered at shortlist time. A link dropped into a thread is not, and may break the group's rules.

  • “A post about a feature goes unread”

    Buyers react to a problem they recognise, such as a payslip dispute or a shift roster that clashes. A short post that names the problem and shows how a screen resolves it gives the reader a reason to stop.

What we do

What we deliver for HRTech startups.

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

  1. A channel plan by buyer

    A short plan saying which platform reaches the HR manager, the owner and the consultant, and what each should see.

    Result: A one-page plan with a channel and a purpose for each buyer.

  2. A post bank built from sales calls

    Posts drawn from the questions HR managers asked in demos, written in plain words and checked for accuracy.

    Result: A bank of posts, each traced to a question a real buyer asked.

  3. Founder and team profile clean-up

    Profiles that say who you help and what you know, with a clear way to start a conversation.

    Result: Each profile states the buyer and the problem in the first line.

  4. A reply and message routine

    A routine for answering comments and direct messages and moving a serious one to a call.

    Result: A log of conversations that began on a social platform.

  5. Platform-rule check

    A note of each platform's current rules for company pages, outreach and ads, to be rechecked before use.

    Result: A dated note of which rules were read, kept with the plan.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

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

Posts and pieces to plan

What an HRTech startup posts to reach HR heads and owners.

A hiring mistake a small company made
Told as a generic scenario, with no real names. Text or a short video from the founder works, since the owner relates to the cost of a bad hire.
One task done in the product
A screen recording of marking leave, shortlisting or raising a claim on a demo company. No sales line at the end beyond the product name.
A question for HR managers
A plain poll or question on how teams handle a task today. The replies show what buyers struggle with and give material for later posts.
Owner-facing note on salary errors
A short post for the owner on what a wrong payout costs in trust. Keep it free of statistics unless you can cite the source.
Hiring a team of blue-collar workers
A post for staffing buyers on how a screening step works. Show the workflow, and do not post a candidate's photograph without consent.

Who it is for

This is written for these HRTech startups.

  • Payroll and statutory compliance startups for small and mid-sized companies
  • Attendance, shift and field-workforce tracking startups
  • Applicant tracking and hiring-platform startups
  • Blue-collar and gig-worker hiring platform startups
  • Employee engagement, recognition and survey startups
  • Employee benefits, wellness and reimbursement startups
  • Learning and skills platform startups for companies
  • Background verification and onboarding startups

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No one in the startup is willing to post under their own name, so a company page alone would draw little attention from HR heads.
  • The product has no demo company with dummy data, so any screen posted could expose a real customer's staff.
  • Nobody can reply to messages from interested buyers, so a post that works would leave a stranger without an answer.

How it works

How the social media 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

    Confirm audience, platforms and access

    We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.

  2. 2

    Review the current presence

    We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.

  3. 3

    Build the calendar

    Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.

  4. 4

    Create, approve and publish

    Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.

  5. 5

    Record enquiries and adjust

    Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Which platform should we start with?
Start where your best past customers can be found. For HR buyers that is a professional network, plus WhatsApp for owners. We look at your closed deals to confirm before committing time to any other channel.
Can we post customer names?
Only with the customer's written agreement, and only the facts the customer approved. Do not invent results or quotes. A product screen with anonymised sample data is safer and still shows how it works.
Is it worth paying for ads on social platforms?
Ads suit a narrow, well-defined audience, such as HR heads in one industry. Check the platform's current rules and set up tracking first, so you can see whether clicks become enquiries.
Do we post in groups where HR managers ask for tool advice?
Join as a person, answer questions with real help and keep links out of the first replies. Many groups remove sales posts, so check the group's own rules. Someone who answered well when asked about a tool is remembered when the group next discusses software.
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.
