Operations consultants · Lead generation
Bring in owners who have a named delay, not browsers who want free advice.
Lead generation for an operations consultant means attracting owners who already feel a specific problem on their floor, such as late dispatch or rework. GullySales works on the symptom pages, the referral routes and the enquiry log that put those owners in front of you.
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 operations consultants
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The enquiry is a symptom, not a service”
An owner rarely asks for an operations consultant. They ask why the Friday dispatch slips, why a branch runs differently from the others, or why wastage keeps climbing. A lead engine that waits for the word consulting misses the person who is already in trouble.
“Referrers hold the warmest leads”
The chartered accountant, the banker and the machine vendor each see a client in difficulty before the client says so. If none of them can describe in one sentence what you fix, the introduction goes to someone else.
“A lead from the wrong sector wastes a visit”
A foundry owner and a day-care chain owner both write in with the same words, late and costly. The first call has to find out which floor it is, or you spend a site visit on work you cannot do well.
“Students and job seekers arrive with the method names”
Searches for lean, Six Sigma or Kaizen bring in people looking for courses. Pages built round those words fill the inbox with the wrong readers.
What we do
What we deliver for operations consultants.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Symptom landing pages
One page for each problem you are known for fixing, written in the owner's words and listing what you look at first.
Result: Each page names one problem and the first three things you would check.
A sector qualifier on every form
A short field asking which sector, how many shifts and which delay, so the enquiry arrives already sorted.
Result: You can tell the sector and the delay before you pick up the phone.
Referrer notes for accountants and bankers
A one-page note that a CA or branch manager can forward, saying what you look at when a client reports rising costs.
Result: A referrer can describe what you do in a sentence and attach the note.
An enquiry register
Every enquiry recorded with its source, symptom, sector and the person who referred it.
Result: You can see which source produced diagnostics and which only produced calls.
Search ads for the symptom
Paid search aimed at problem phrases rather than method names, sent to the matching symptom page.
Result: Ad clicks land on a page that matches the phrase typed.
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.
