Packaged drinking water suppliers · Lead generation

Find the next office, shop and caterer before the rival van reaches them.

Lead generation for a packaged water supplier means finding the buildings, shops and event buyers on or near the route that do not yet take your jars or cartons. GullySales works on the lists, the first contact and the record of who said what.

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 packaged drinking water suppliers

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

  • “The route shows who you serve, not who you could serve”

    The van drives the same streets each day, so the depot sees only the doors it already knows. A new coworking floor or a tea stall two lanes over never appears in the notebook, and so never gets a call.

  • “A new building is won in the first few orders”

    An apartment block or office that has just opened has no standing supplier yet. Whoever the facility manager or secretary hears from first gets the trial delivery, and the later callers are compared against that first van.

  • “Caterers and halls buy in bulk and remember one name”

    A caterer with a wedding booked needs a large number of jars on a known date. They ring the supplier already saved in their phone, so a lead here is a contact made months before the booking.

  • “Enquiries that arrive by call are lost when nobody writes them down”

    A shopkeeper rings, the driver answers on the road, and the number is on a scrap of paper by evening. A lead that is not recorded with a street and a name cannot be called back.

What we do

What we deliver for packaged drinking water suppliers.

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

  1. A prospect list drawn from your delivery radius

    Offices, societies, shops, hostels and halls listed by street within the area you can serve, with the contact person where one is known.

    Result: A list a rep can walk or ring, street by street.

  2. A one-line first message and call script

    A short opening for each buyer type, naming the brand carried, the jar or carton size and the delivery slot.

    Result: Every new contact hears the same clear offer.

  3. A trial delivery arrangement

    The terms for a first drop, including the deposit on jars, written so the buyer can accept them by message.

    Result: The buyer can say yes without a long discussion.

  4. A single enquiry sheet

    Calls, messages and shop visits entered in one place with the source, the street and the next step.

    Result: No enquiry sits only on a driver's phone.

  5. A review of which sources brought accounts

    Each lead tagged by where it came from, then read against the accounts actually opened.

    Result: You see which source brought orders and which brought only calls.

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 the enquiry sheet records so a depot knows which buyer is worth a van stop.

Buyer type and size
Shop, office, hall, hostel or labour camp, with the cartons or jars needed in a week. The owner decides at once whether the stop pays for the van.
Distance from the nearest existing drop
Note the road and the nearest account already served. A new buyer beside an existing drop costs little to add, and a distant one costs a trip.
Brand and pack asked for
The 20-litre jar, the carton of sealed bottles or a pouch, and the label. It shows whether the buyer fits the brand you hold or the second label you carry.
Payment terms expected
Cash on delivery, short credit or a long-credit bill. A shop that expects long credit is a dues risk, so the owner sees it before agreeing.
Who referred or how they found you
A shopkeeper's neighbour, a hall manager, a board on the van or a search. After a season the sheet shows which sources produce accounts that stay.

Who it is for

This is written for these packaged drinking water suppliers.

  • Agencies and depots holding a bottling brand's territory
  • 20-litre jar suppliers to offices and homes
  • Wholesale suppliers of sealed bottle cartons to shops
  • Event, wedding and catering water suppliers
  • Suppliers to hostels, PGs and coaching centres
  • Suppliers to construction sites and labour camps
  • Multi-brand suppliers carrying more than one label
  • Door-to-door home delivery operators

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have one van and it already runs full every day, so new accounts would only force a decline or a late delivery.
  • You have no clear territory or brand terms from the plant, and leads outside it would start a dispute.
  • You plan to buy contact lists and cold-call them, when a shop on a road you drive past is a stronger lead than a bought number.

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.

Where should lead generation start for a depot with one van?
Start with the streets the van already passes, since a stop there costs no extra trip. Buildings and shops along the existing route give the first list, and the wider radius follows once those are covered.
Do you buy contact lists?
No. We build the list from your own area and records, from visits and from public listings, so each name is a real door on a real street that you can serve.
Can you promise a number of new accounts?
No. New accounts depend on your rate, your delivery slot and the buyer's current supplier. We prepare the list, the message and the record, and show you what each source produced.
Can a depot that holds one brand's territory sell to buyers outside it?
Check your agreement with the plant before you quote beyond the territory. Selling outside it can break the terms you hold and cause a dispute with a neighbouring depot. Keep a separate list of out-of-territory enquiries and pass them on if the agreement allows.
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.
