Business consultants · Content marketing

Publish the thinking that makes an owner want your opinion.

Content marketing is how a consultant shows judgement before anybody has hired them: articles, anonymised cases, a checklist an owner can run over their own business. GullySales turns the questions you answer in meetings into pages an owner can find and forward, published under the partner's name.

What content marketing means

Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For business consultants

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

  • “The article gets forwarded to the person you never meet”

    An owner sends your piece on succession to the brother who is blocking the handover. Writing for that second reader is what turns an article into a meeting.

  • “A case study with no client name still does the job”

    Confidentiality does not stop you writing about a textile unit that shortened its collection cycle, and how it was done. The industry and the approach carry the proof.

  • “Write what you would say for free”

    Consultants hold the method back in case somebody copies it. An owner who reads something thorough enough to act on decides he wants the person behind it.

What we do

What we deliver for business consultants.

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

  1. A running list of questions from scoping calls

    Gathered after each call and kept as the source everything else is written from, since the same questions repeat more than owners realise.

    Result: The writing comes from what owners are actually asking.

  2. Articles written for the second reader

    The brother blocking the handover, the CFO, the banker: the person your article gets forwarded to, addressed directly.

    Result: A forwarded article becomes a first meeting.

  3. Cases written at the level of the industry, not the client

    A textile unit that shortened its collection cycle, a family firm that settled signing authority, with the method shown and no name used.

    Result: Your proof does not need anybody's permission.

  4. A checklist an owner can run over his own business

    A short, usable document, such as a working capital check or a succession readiness list, that gives a real answer rather than a sales pitch.

    Result: An owner who used it decides he wants the person behind it.

  5. Everything published under the partner's name

    A byline, a photograph, the credentials and a way to reply, instead of articles that appear to come from a company nobody has met.

    Result: The reader knows whose judgement they are testing.

  6. Meetings booked reported instead of reads

    Each article, case and checklist tagged so the report shows which one an enquiry came through.

    Result: You stop writing the kind of piece nobody acts on.

How the result is measured

  • Pages published
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from content pages

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

Questions buyers ask first

The questions an owner asks before calling a consultant, and the piece that answers each.

Is my problem the one you solve?
One page per problem, in the owner's words: for example sales depend on two people, or margins fell after growth. List the signs and the first questions you would ask.
What happens in the first meeting?
Say what to bring, such as last year's accounts and the organisation chart, what you will ask, and what the owner leaves with. An owner who knows the meeting is not a sales pitch will book it.
How is an engagement scoped?
Show the structure: diagnosis, plan, support during implementation. Say what each part contains and how the fee is set, as a fixed sum or a retainer, without quoting a figure.
How much of my team's time will it take?
State what you ask of the owner and of managers, and who nominates a point person. Promoters fear being distracted from the business.
Will you take sides between me and my brother?
For family businesses, explain how you work with partners, what you keep confidential from whom and who the client is. Succession cases fail on trust, so say so plainly.
What will I have when you leave?
A handover page: documents, review routines and a plan the owner can run alone. It answers the fear that an engagement ends and the business falls back.

Who it is for

This is written for these business consultants.

  • Independent management consultants
  • Boutique strategy and operations consulting firms
  • Family business and succession consultants
  • Business growth and turnaround consultants for SMEs
  • Lean, Six Sigma and process improvement consultants
  • ISO, ZED and quality certification consultants
  • Startup, fundraising and business plan advisers
  • HR and organisation design consultants
  • Export, import and market entry advisers

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 content marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Confirm the plan

    Topics and formats for the coming month are confirmed against the content strategy.

  2. 2

    Produce and review

    Content is written or filmed, then reviewed by someone who knows your trade before it goes out.

  3. 3

    Publish and distribute

    Finished content is published to the site and pushed through the channels your buyers actually use.

  4. 4

    Track enquiries

    Enquiries are traced back to content where a direct line exists, and reported honestly where it does not.

  5. 5

    Report and adjust

    We report results and adjust the next topics based on what actually worked.

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
Where do we find topics without breaking client confidentiality?
In the questions owners ask on scoping calls, which repeat more than you would expect. Write at the level of the industry, not the client, and check the draft against your engagement letter.
How long before an article brings an enquiry?
Months. The first ones come from people who already know you sharing the piece, and search traffic builds after that. So we report meetings booked, not reads.
Is a webinar better than an article for a consultant?
An article is found and forwarded, a webinar is where an owner decides if they want to talk to you. Write the article first, then use it as the outline for the webinar, and publish the recording with the article.
How do we know whether an article led to a meeting?
Ask each new enquirer what they read or who sent it, and write it beside the meeting entry. A forwarded article often arrives through a banker or a chartered accountant, so ask about who sent it as well as where it was found.
How can we market our work if every client is confidential?
Describe the problem and the approach without the name. For example, an account of how an auto component supplier fixed its costing is useful proof with no name attached. Some clients will also agree to be named once asked properly.
Should a consultant specialise or stay general?
Specialise in how you are presented, even if you take broader work. Owners search for their problem, and a consultant known for one thing gets referred more often than one who does everything.
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.
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.
