Global capability centre and offshore development centre consultants · Buyer persona

Know the four people in the room and what each of them is afraid of.

A buyer persona for a capability centre consultant describes the people inside a parent company who decide, influence and block the move. GullySales works on writing those people down from your own engagements so that each page and call speaks to the right one.

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 global capability centre and offshore development centre consultants

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

  • “The finance head asks about control”

    The chief financial officer wants to know what the parent will own, how cost is tracked and how the centre can be wound down if it does not work. Credentials do not answer these.

  • “The technology head asks about talent and ownership”

    This person worries about hiring leaders, keeping engineers and whether the centre will be treated as a vendor or as part of the team.

  • “The general counsel asks about boundaries”

    Legal wants to know what the consultant will do and what stays with the company's own advisers. A consultant who is vague on this raises concern.

  • “The India sponsor asks about the first year”

    Someone will move to India to run the centre. They want a consultant who has seen the first year and will not leave after the study.

What we do

What we deliver for global capability centre and offshore development centre consultants.

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

  1. Four written personas

    Finance, technology, legal and India sponsor, each with questions, fears and the proof they accept.

    Result: Your team prepares for the person on the call.

  2. A message map for each persona

    The points to lead with, the proof to offer and the words to avoid.

    Result: Each page and email is aimed at a reader.

  3. A question bank from past evaluations

    The questions that came up in meetings, grouped by role.

    Result: New evaluations start from what you have already learnt.

  4. A stakeholder map template

    A sheet to record each person at a parent company, their role and their stance.

    Result: You can see who is missing from the conversation.

  5. A review of the personas against lost evaluations

    A check on what the winning buyers asked and what the lost ones did not say.

    Result: The personas reflect how decisions are made.

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 many personas do we need?
Enough to cover the people who decide, influence and block. In an evaluation that is four or five. More than that and the document is not used.
Do personas differ for foreign and Indian parents?
Yes. An Indian group has a closer owner, a shorter chain and a different sense of risk. Write separate personas rather than adjust the foreign one.
Where do we get the information?
From your own engagements, the questions you were asked and the people who joined each call. Interviews with past clients, with their permission, add depth.
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.
