Business coaches and corporate trainers · Lead generation

Fill the diary with enquiries that have a budget holder behind them.

Lead generation for a coach or trainer is getting enquiries in from talks, webinars and referrals, then finding out who behind them can approve a spend. GullySales builds the capture and the qualifying questions, and logs every enquiry against the source that produced it.

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 business coaches and corporate trainers

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

  • “A room of sixty HR managers is a lead source, and it leaks”

    You speak, people nod, and nobody collects the names. The follow-up then depends on who happens to send a LinkedIn request that week.

  • “The free-advice caller books the same slot as the buyer”

    An hour given to someone who wanted a free consultation is an hour the L and D head who wanted a proposal could not get.

  • “A webinar registration is not an enquiry yet”

    Fifty sign-ups for a free session mean nothing until each one is checked for role, team size and whether money was set aside this year.

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 booking form that asks role, team size and dates

    A short form before any discovery call is confirmed: who they are, how many people the programme is for, and when it has to run.

    Result: You know before the call whether there is a programme in it.

  2. Name capture at every talk and webinar

    A way to collect names, roles and companies in the room or on the call, with consent, going straight into the CRM rather than a notebook.

    Result: The people who watched you speak are still reachable next month.

  3. A recorded talk for the people who only want advice

    A recorded session or short guide sent to anyone who is not buying, so the answer is generous and your calendar stays clear.

    Result: Nobody is turned away, and nobody takes an hour they were never going to pay for.

  4. A first-reply script that finds the approver

    The questions asked in the first reply to a corporate enquiry: who owns the problem, who signs, and whether empanelment is needed.

    Result: The proposal goes to the person who can approve it.

  5. Every enquiry tagged to the source that produced it

    Talk, webinar, referral, search or outreach recorded against each enquiry, and reported against the baseline recorded before work starts.

    Result: You stop guessing which effort is filling the diary.

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.

Where enquiries come from

The places a programme enquiry reaches a trainer or coach, and what to record at each.

An HR head's call or email
Record the company, the role, the team size and the programme they have in mind. Ask the date the training must run and who approves the budget.
A referral from a past client's manager
Note who referred and which programme they saw. Reply with a call slot and a one-page summary of a similar programme you ran.
A LinkedIn message after a post or talk
Record the post or talk that led to it. Ask what they are trying to change in the team before sending any programme details.
A training company or panel booking
Write down the training company, the end client, the daily rate they offer and the date. Check the payment terms before accepting.
A founder or manager looking for one-to-one coaching
Record what they want to work on and the length of time they expect. Offer a short discovery call and a clear next step in writing.
A participant from a past session
Write down the participant's name and the company. Ask whether they have a colleague or a team who would benefit from the programme.

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

  • 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 lead generation work runs

  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.

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 stop giving away an hour on every discovery call?
Ask three questions before the slot is confirmed: the role, the team size and when the programme has to run. Send everyone else a recorded talk instead.
Which source brings the best corporate enquiries?
A talk in front of HR heads, and a referral from a past participant who has changed companies. Both take longer than ads to build and hold up better. We count your own enquiries by source first.
How do we find out who really decides on a training budget?
Ask on the first call: who approves the budget, and who signs the purchase order? Write both names down. If the contact cannot name them, the proposal will probably stall in HR, so offer a short note they can pass on.
Should we record webinar sign-ups as leads?
Record them as contacts, not leads, until someone has asked for a programme. Note the webinar, the name, the company and the consent given. Write to the attendees about the next session and the sort of programme that follows from it.
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 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.
