Corporate lawyers · Buyer persona

Write down who actually decides: the founder, the finance head or the person who recommends.

A buyer persona for a corporate law firm describes who chooses counsel and what they check first. A founder, a finance head and a CA recommending a name are three different readers. GullySales builds one card for each, from your own matters.

What buyer persona means

A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

For corporate lawyers

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

  • “The promoter decides on trust and on the deal in hand”

    A founder with a term sheet wants a partner who has seen that kind of document. They ask peers first, then read what the firm has written on the transaction.

  • “The finance head decides on process”

    A finance head in a mid-sized company asks about billing, response times and who the named partner is. They have a panel to answer to and do not want to explain the background twice.

  • “The recommender decides who gets mentioned”

    A CA or banker gives names without being paid for it and without wanting to be embarrassed by it. They remember the firm that replies promptly and explains clearly to their client.

  • “The family business has a second reader”

    In a promoter family, a younger member joining the business reads the documents too. Their questions about shareholding and succession differ from the elder's and need their own answer.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate lawyers.

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

  1. Promoter persona card

    A one-page profile of the founder with a live transaction, covering what starts the search and what they check before calling.

    Result: The card lists questions you can test against past enquiries.

  2. Finance head and in-house counsel card

    A profile of the corporate buyer, including panel requirements and billing questions.

    Result: The card matches the points a panel application asks about.

  3. Recommender card for CAs and bankers

    A profile of what an introducer needs from the firm, such as a prompt reply and a clear summary of services.

    Result: Referrer outreach is written around what the introducer needs.

  4. Family business card

    A profile of the promoter family and the younger member, covering succession and shareholding questions.

    Result: Family-business pages answer the younger member's questions.

  5. Persona check against your matters

    A review of the last engagements to see which persona each came from and what they asked first.

    Result: Each card is marked with matters it did and did not fit.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiry match to persona
  • Conversion rate by persona
  • Content aligned to persona

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

How it works

How the buyer persona 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 the current view

    We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is often the finding itself.

  2. 2

    Audit past enquiries and sales

    We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.

  3. 3

    Interview customers and staff

    Short, structured conversations surface the real language, worries and triggers behind a purchase.

  4. 4

    Build the personas

    Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.

  5. 5

    Apply to your marketing

    We show exactly where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have.

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
How do we build a persona without client data?
Start from the firm's own engagement records and the questions asked on first calls, kept within client confidentiality. Names and terms are not needed; the type of buyer and the first question are.
Is one persona enough for the whole firm?
No. A fundraise founder and a lender's legal team are different readers. One card per priority transaction is enough to start, and the partners correct it.
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.
