Civil contractors · Lead generation
Bring in enquiries for the walls, drains and tanks your crews build well.
Lead generation for a civil contractor means steering search, site visits and referrals towards the specific works your crews are equipped to build, instead of taking whatever rings. GullySales builds the work pages, the enquiry capture and the source log that show which channel produced a work order.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 civil contractors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A named job brings a better enquiry than a general one”
An owner who types retaining wall for a sloping plot already knows the work they need. That enquiry carries a location and a purpose. An enquiry from a page that merely says civil works arrives vague, and the first call is spent finding out what the owner wants.
“The engineer's phone book is a lead source nobody logs”
A site engineer or architect gives a contractor's name to a plot owner long before any search happens. If the office does not note who recommended whom, the contractor never learns which engineer is worth a thank-you visit and a set of fresh photographs.
“Government notices are leads that expire”
A quotation notice carries a closing date, so a late discovery is a lost lead. Treating notices as a separate stream, with a person responsible for reading them against your registrations, stops them from sitting in a clerk's inbox.
“Small jobs repeat when the first one is remembered”
The owner whose drain you cleared will need a boundary wall when the next plot is bought. A list of past clients with the work done and the date gives the office a reason to call that is not a sales pitch.
What we do
What we deliver for civil contractors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Enquiry pages for each kind of work
One page each for compound walls, retaining walls, drains, tanks and levelling, with finished-site photographs and what the owner must arrange before the crew arrives.
Result: Each page can be opened and judged on one test: does it describe one job in the owner's words.
A source column on every enquiry
The office notes whether the call came from search, Maps, an engineer, a notice or a past client, and the column is filled before the quotation goes out.
Result: Any week's enquiries can be sorted by source on one sheet.
A site-visit request form
A short form and a prepared WhatsApp reply that ask for the location, the approximate length or volume, and photographs of the spot.
Result: The first reply already holds what the supervisor needs to plan a visit.
A past-client list
Every finished job with the owner, the locality, the work and the month it closed, kept in one sheet the office updates.
Result: The office can name ten owners to call for repeat work without searching old files.
A lost-enquiry note
One line recording why an owner chose someone else, whenever the owner says so.
Result: The reasons for losing work sit in one place and can be read together.
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
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
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
