Business consultants · Social media

Post under your own name, where owners and referrers are reading.

Social media for a consulting practice means LinkedIn, posted by the partner rather than by a company page, because an owner follows a person whose thinking they want to test. GullySales plans the posts from questions owners ask in real meetings and keeps them going through the delivery months.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For business consultants

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

  • “A company page nobody follows is worse than none”

    A firm page with forty followers and a festival graphic tells an owner the practice is quiet. The partner's own profile already reaches the CAs and bankers who know them.

  • “The reader who matters never comments”

    A promoter reads your posts for months, says nothing, then quotes one of them in a first meeting. Judging LinkedIn on likes hides the person the posting is for.

  • “Confidentiality limits what you post, and that is workable”

    Last week's diagnostic numbers cannot go on a public feed. The pattern behind them can, such as what three family businesses got wrong about who signs what.

What we do

What we deliver for business consultants.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. Posting done from the partner's own profile

    The personal LinkedIn profile written properly, with the company page kept only for the things a page is needed for.

    Result: Your posts reach the CAs and bankers who already know your name.

  2. Post topics taken from real meeting questions

    The questions owners ask on scoping calls, collected after each one and written up at the level of the industry rather than the client.

    Result: You are never staring at an empty box on a Sunday evening.

  3. A pace you can hold through a delivery month

    A posting rhythm set at what is possible when you are on a client site, with a few drafts banked before the engagement starts.

    Result: There is no three-month silence after a busy January.

  4. A confidentiality rule for what may be posted

    What can go out and what stays, checked against your engagement letters, so the pattern can be written about while the client stays invisible.

    Result: You can publish without a call from a nervous promoter.

  5. The association WhatsApp groups your buyers already use

    Which industry and chamber groups are worth being in, what is worth sending there, and what marks you out as somebody selling.

    Result: You reach owners in the place they actually talk to each other.

  6. Profile views and first meetings counted, not likes

    Who viewed the profile, what they do and how many meetings followed, reported, since the reader who matters never comments.

    Result: You can tell whether the quiet readers are buyers.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

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

Platform for this buyer

Where an owner or promoter looks at a consultant, and what to post in each place.

LinkedIn, from the partner's own profile
Write a pattern seen across engagements at the level of the industry, never the client. The reader who matters is a promoter who rarely comments. The action wanted is a connection request or a call about the same problem.
WhatsApp groups of chambers and associations
Join the groups you are invited to, read the rules, and share a one-page checklist when a member raises the problem. Do not post offers. The action is a reply asking for a conversation.
LinkedIn document posts
Turn the questions you ask on a scoping call into a short checklist a promoter can use alone. The action is to message you with their answers, which starts a first meeting on their terms.
YouTube, for the talk you gave
Record the talk you give at an association or a bankers' meet, and keep one clean copy to send to prospects. It shows how you explain a problem to owners. The action is to forward it.
What not to post
A client's name or numbers, anything your engagement letter marks confidential, a promoter's family dispute, or a claim such as doubled profit. State what you did, not what the client earned.

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.

  • The partner will not post under their own name, and a firm page that nobody follows would carry the whole effort.
  • Ythe firm's clients are promoters who never open LinkedIn, and your referrers talk only on the phone.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

Social media marketing for business consultants: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

Review the posts that produced useful conversations, not only the ones with the most views. Gather buyer questions and decide which team member can contribute credible material.

Make the scope clear

Choose the audience and channel before setting a posting volume. Agree who supplies material, approves posts, and handles messages, including complaints or questions the agency cannot answer.

Check the work in use

Follow a post through to the profile, website, and response. A useful report explains the quality of conversations and enquiries, alongside reach and engagement.

Know when to change course

If publishing takes time away from unanswered buyer messages, fix the response routine first. Do not expand to another channel without a clear reason for being there.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

How it works

How the social media 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

    Platform and access agreement

    We confirm the audience and platforms covered, then check account ownership. You retain control of the pages and grant the access needed for the agreed work.

  2. 2

    Content input handover

    Your team supplies approved product information and usable images or footage. We review existing posts and agree who will answer factual questions during drafting.

  3. 3

    Calendar approval

    You review the proposed themes and response routes. Missing information is identified before posts enter production, rather than holding up a finished calendar.

  4. 4

    Draft approval and publication

    The named approver checks captions and creative files before scheduling. We also agree which replies can be sent directly and which need your team's decision.

  5. 5

    Sales handover and content decisions

    Buying questions go to the agreed sales contact with the conversation attached. Reported enquiries and sales feedback guide changes to the next calendar.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
How often should the partner post on LinkedIn?
At a pace you can hold through a busy delivery month, which for most practices is a post or two a week. Three silent months cost more than the posting gains.
Is Instagram worth anything for a consulting practice?
Rarely. Owners scroll it, but they do not pick an adviser there. Put the time into LinkedIn and the association groups on WhatsApp where your buyers already talk.
Can our associates post from their own profiles?
Yes, if they follow a short rule: no client names, no numbers, and a read by the partner before posting. Owners follow a person they meet in a meeting. Associates who write well also make the practice less dependent on the founder.
Should a checklist be behind a form or open for anyone?
Keep the first one open. A form in front of it cuts the readers who matter, and you do not need an email to start a conversation. Ask the reader to message you their answers, and keep forms for longer material that a promoter would ask for.
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.
