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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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. 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.

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.

  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.

Which kind of work should we generate leads for first?
The work you want more of and that pays on time. Sort last year's jobs by payment speed and margin, then build pages for the best two. We help you read the sheet; the choice is yours.
Will lead generation bring government work as well?
Government work comes through registration and notices, not search. We help you track notices and keep papers ready, and your team bids. Selection follows each department's current rules and we do not influence it.
Do we need paid advertising to get enquiries?
No. Pages, a Maps listing and referrals from engineers come first, and cost little. Paid adverts are worth testing only for a job type with a clear margin, and only after the enquiry reply is working.
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.
