Commercial architects · Buyer persona

Write down who weighs the shortlist at a developer, because it is never one person.

A buyer persona for a commercial architect describes each person who sits in on an appointment, since the decision is made by a team. GullySales builds one persona per decision role and per building type.

What buyer persona means

A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

For commercial architects

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

  • “The projects head wants an easy process”

    This person has to defend the shortlist internally. They look for a practice that has built the same building type, handles approvals without drama and will answer when the site calls.

  • “The finance lead reads cost per square foot”

    The same project has a person who studies fees, construction cost and saleable area. Showing how the design protects efficiency of the plan speaks to this buyer and means nothing to the projects head.

  • “The promoter wants to like the building”

    The final voice belongs to the owner, who cares how the block looks, how it photographs and what it says about the company. A reference to an award or a handsome lobby counts here.

What we do

What we deliver for commercial architects.

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

  1. Decision-role cards

    A card for the projects head, finance lead, promoter and adviser, each with concerns, questions and what convinces them.

    Result: You know what to bring to each person in the room.

  2. Building-type personas

    Separate profiles for a hospital buyer, an office developer and a warehouse client, since each looks for different proof.

    Result: Pitches differ by building type, not only by name.

  3. Corporate first-timer persona

    A profile of the company executive appointing an architect for the first time, with the questions they ask and the fears they carry.

    Result: Your explanation starts from what this buyer does not know.

  4. Adviser persona

    A profile of the project management or land adviser who recommends practices, including what makes them comfortable passing on a name.

    Result: You can give advisers what they need to refer you.

  5. Checking the cards against past pursuits

    A review of won and lost pursuits to test whether each card matches who really decided.

    Result: Cards are corrected by what happened, not by guesswork.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiry match to persona
  • Conversion rate by persona
  • Content aligned to persona

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

How it works

How the buyer persona 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 the current view

    We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is often the finding itself.

  2. 2

    Audit past enquiries and sales

    We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.

  3. 3

    Interview customers and staff

    Short, structured conversations surface the real language, worries and triggers behind a purchase.

  4. 4

    Build the personas

    Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.

  5. 5

    Apply to your marketing

    We show exactly where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have.

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
Do we need cards if we already know our clients?
Knowing the lead client is not the same as knowing the whole table. Cards record the other people who decide, so a partner leaving the practice does not take that knowledge with them.
How do we build them without inventing?
From your own pursuit history. Note who attended each presentation, what each asked and what the winner did. Where you have no record, mark the card as a guess to test.
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.
