Franchise consultants · Lead generation
Draw founders ready to franchise and investors ready to read, on separate routes.
Lead generation for a franchise consultant means attracting two different enquirers, the brand owner who wants to franchise and the investor who wants to buy, and telling them apart at first contact. GullySales works on the pages, the enquiry questions and the source record that keep the two routes apart.
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 franchise consultants
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“One form puts two buyers in one inbox”
A form asking only for a name and a message sends a bakery founder and a retired bank manager to the same place. The founder needs a readiness conversation about the business. The investor needs a buyer's checklist. The first question on the form should be which of the two the visitor is.
“The founder searches with a question, not a job title”
The brand owner types how to franchise my business, never franchise consultant. The page that answers that question and lists what a brand needs before it franchises earns the enquiry. A page headed with your own firm name earns a visit and no call.
“Investors arrive carrying other people's promises”
A buyer who has been shown glossy brochures by a portal reads honest advice as one more pitch. A lead comes only after a page that names no return and says which documents to ask any brand for.
“An expo card without a type goes cold”
Franchise expos put franchisors and investors in the same aisle. A card holding only a name and a number loses which kind of visitor it was. Write the type and the next step down while the person is still at the stall.
What we do
What we deliver for franchise consultants.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A two-route enquiry form
A first question that separates the brand owner from the investor, followed by a short set of questions for each.
Result: Every enquiry arrives labelled as franchisor or investor.
A readiness landing page
A page for the search how to franchise my business, listing what a brand needs in place and asking how many outlets are running today.
Result: The founder can check the business against the list before calling.
An investor buyer's guide
A guide on what to read, ask and verify before buying into any franchise, written without a brand name or a return.
Result: The guide names no brand and quotes no return.
An expo visitor card
A card that records name, type of visitor, trade and the agreed next step at the stall.
Result: Each visitor is entered with a type and a next step.
A source record
A sheet noting whether each enquiry came from search, an expo, a lawyer's introduction or a referral, set against a baseline taken before work starts.
Result: You can read which source brought signed advisories, not only enquiries.
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.

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
Understand your capacity
We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.
- 2
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.
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.
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.
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.
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.
