Stay in the inbox of the manager who will run L and D somewhere else.

Email marketing for a coach or trainer is staying in touch with past participants and HR contacts through the years it takes for a training need to return. GullySales builds the list from people you have actually met, writes the emails around your own sessions, and times them to the budget year.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For business coaches and corporate trainers

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

  • “Participants change companies and take you with them”

    A manager who did your programme in Whitefield and has moved to a Hyderabad company is the warmest enquiry you will get. Only a list keeps that alive.

  • “February is a different email from June”

    In the last quarter of the financial year you offer a programme that can still run before 31 March. In June you ask to be in next year's plan.

  • “A bought HR database is not a list”

    Names scraped from a database have never heard you speak. Mailing them gets your domain marked as spam, which then buries the proposal you send to a real client.

What we do

What we deliver for business coaches and corporate trainers.

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

  1. A list built from talks, webinars and programmes

    Names, roles and companies collected with consent at every session you run, held in one place instead of across old spreadsheets.

    Result: Everyone on the list has met you.

  2. Contacts tagged by role, company and programme attended

    Each contact marked as an HR buyer, a business head or an individual client, and linked to the programme they sat in.

    Result: An email about first-time managers goes only to people who care about first-time managers.

  3. A year-end email for budget that lapses on 31 March

    A short, direct message to past clients and warm HR contacts with the dates you can still deliver before the financial year closes.

    Result: Unspent training budget has somewhere to go.

  4. A planning-season email that asks to be in the calendar

    A February and March message carrying next year's programme calendar, written for an L and D team building its plan.

    Result: You are on the list before the budget is divided up.

  5. A routine for spotting a past participant's new job

    A check on where past participants and HR contacts have moved, with a short congratulations note and an offer for the new team.

    Result: A job change becomes an enquiry instead of a lost contact.

How the result is measured

  • Open rate
  • Click rate
  • Enquiries from email

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

What must be in place first

What a trainer or coach needs in place before emailing HR heads and past participants.

Three lists: buyers, participants and referrers
HR and learning heads who buy, participants who attended and founders or peers who refer are separate lists. Each reads a different note, and each gave you their address for a different reason.
Participants' addresses are often the client's
If a company hired you, the attendance sheet came from its HR. Ask the HR head before writing to participants, or invite them to opt in at the end of the session with their own address.
An opt-in line on the feedback form
Add a tick box on the form: would you like occasional notes from me? Keep the sheet. A person who ticks it can be mailed. A person who only gave feedback has not agreed.
Testimonials used only with written permission
Quote a participant or an HR head only after they agree in writing, and say whether their company may be named. A kind remark on a call is not permission to print it.
A short signature that says what you do
State your name, the kind of programme and the sort of company you work with in two lines. An HR head who receives one mail a year should know at once who you are.
An opt-out and a reply read by you
Replies go to you or the person who runs your diary. A buyer's question about dates or fees is answered by someone who knows. Opt-outs are removed from the list the same day.

Who it is for

This is written for these business coaches and corporate trainers.

  • Independent corporate trainers for soft skills and leadership
  • Sales training and sales coaching specialists
  • Executive coaches for senior managers and CXOs
  • Business coaches for founders, family businesses and SMEs
  • Training companies with a panel of facilitators
  • Life coaches for career, relationships and wellbeing
  • Outbound, team-building and offsite facilitators
  • Communication, public speaking and presentation trainers
  • Behavioural assessment and psychometric practitioners

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the email marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your list

    We review who is on the list, how they got there, and how long it has been since they last heard from you.

  2. 2

    Audit past sends

    We check open and click rates from past emails to see what has and has not worked.

  3. 3

    Segment and plan

    The list is split into meaningful groups and a sending calendar is agreed.

  4. 4

    Implement content and automation

    Emails are written, scheduled and, where useful, set to trigger automatically based on behaviour.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track performance and adjust subject lines, timing and content based on what the list responds to.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

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 list without buying one?
Take names at every talk, webinar and programme, with permission, and add the HR contacts you have already met in person. Four hundred people who have heard you speak beat forty thousand scraped addresses.
What do we send when there is nothing to announce?
The question a participant asked last month, and how you answered it. That is a real email. A newsletter about leadership trends is one nobody in HR opens twice.
Can we email participants of a workshop a company hired us for?
Ask the company's HR first, since the list came through them. A better route is an opt-in tick on the session feedback form. Without either, thank them once for attending from the session address, and do not add them to a list.
Is a newsletter or a one-to-one note better for HR heads?
For HR heads and founders, a short personal note about a real need, such as a new batch of managers, gets read. A newsletter suits past participants who agreed to it. Do not send the same text to both groups.
Do we need to be empanelled with a company before we can train there?
Often, yes, for larger companies. Procurement usually wants GST and PAN details, bank information and sometimes an MSME certificate before it raises a purchase order. We keep these in a ready kit, so an approved proposal does not lose weeks to paperwork.
Should a trainer publish rates on the website?
For corporate programmes, usually not, since the fee depends on group size, days and customisation. For life coaching packages, a starting price can save time on discovery calls with people who cannot afford the package.
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.
