Virtual CFO services · Lead generation

Find the founders who are one bank query away from needing you.

Lead generation for a virtual CFO practice is the work of reaching founders and promoters at the moment a bank, an investor or a cash gap makes them look for finance help. GullySales works on where those founders look, what they find and how each enquiry is recorded.

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 virtual CFO services

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

  • “The need arrives as a trigger, not a search”

    A founder does not wake up wanting a part-time finance head. A bank asks for projections, an investor asks for a model, or the account runs dry before salary day. Lead generation means being findable and recommendable on that specific day.

  • “Friends of friends cap the pipeline”

    When every engagement came through a personal introduction, the number of founders you meet sets the number of clients you win. Referral sources outside your own circle, such as chartered accountants and bank relationship managers, have to be built on purpose.

  • “The founder searches in their own words”

    They type about cash flow, a loan limit or an investor model, and rarely the phrase you use for your service. Leads come from pages written for those worries, each pointing to a sample report the founder can open.

  • “A lead from a fundraise may end with the fundraise”

    Founders who come only for a round may leave when the money lands. Recording which trigger brought each lead shows which sources send engagements that carry on, so effort goes to those.

What we do

What we deliver for virtual CFO services.

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

  1. A map of your triggers

    A list of the events that bring founders to you: a bank query, a model request, a new unit, a succession plan. Each is tied to the pages and introductions that meet it.

    Result: A sheet showing each trigger and the place a founder will be looking when it happens.

  2. Pages built around the founder's worry

    One page for each worry, such as cash running short or a bank asking for projections, each ending with a sample report in dummy figures.

    Result: Pages a founder can read in one sitting and act on.

  3. Introduction notes for referrers

    A short note for chartered accountants, bankers and investor networks saying what you take on, what stays with them and how a founder reaches you.

    Result: A note a referrer can forward without rewriting it.

  4. An enquiry record from the first message

    Source, kind of company, trigger and what the founder asked for, entered the day the enquiry arrives.

    Result: A sheet where every lead shows where it came from and what happened next.

  5. A LinkedIn profile that matches the pages

    The partner's profile edited so it names the same kinds of company and the same problems as the service pages.

    Result: A founder who checks the partner finds the same story.

  6. A review of which leads became engagements

    A reading of enquiries against signed engagements, by source and by kind of company.

    Result: A clear view of which sources are worth more of your time.

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. 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. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 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.

  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.

Tell us what you need
Can GullySales promise a number of leads?
No. We do not promise leads, funding outcomes or revenue. We build the pages, introductions and records that give founders a clear way to find you, and we show you what came in.
Which source should a new practice try first?
Start with the sources closest to the trigger: chartered accountants who file for growing companies and bankers whose borrowers lack projections. We read your own engagement list before choosing, because your history shows where your clients came from.
Can we advertise our practice freely?
Advertising rules differ by profession and change over time. Check with your own council or adviser before a page or ad goes live. We write plain, factual copy and your partner approves it first.
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.
