Commercial property brokers · Buyer persona

Know who actually decides, signs and objects before the first site visit.

A buyer persona for a commercial broker describes each person involved in taking or letting space: who raises the requirement, who approves the rent and who blocks the deal. GullySales works on writing these from your own closed and lost files so messages reach the right person.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 property brokers

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

  • “The requester is not the signer”

    An admin head sends the requirement, a finance head questions the rent and a director signs. A pitch aimed only at the first person loses the deal at the second. Each needs a different answer.

  • “The landlord's family decides”

    In a family-owned building, the person who meets you may not hold the decision. A son handling the building, a parent holding the title and a manager collecting rent each hear different concerns.

  • “Franchise and retail brands buy on footfall”

    A brand opening a shop cares about the road, the neighbours and the corner position, and rarely about the carpet area first. The broker who speaks of frontage and nearby brands is heard.

  • “Investors ask for paperwork before price”

    A buyer of a pre-leased unit asks for the tenant, the agreement and the documents. Their persona is a careful reader, and marketing aimed at them lists what you can supply.

What we do

What we deliver for commercial property brokers.

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

  1. Persona sheets for each decision-maker

    One sheet each for the admin head, finance head, founder, franchise owner, landlord and investor.

    Result: Your team knows who they are speaking to.

  2. An objection list per persona

    The questions each one raises, taken from your lost and stalled requirements.

    Result: Replies are ready before the objection arrives.

  3. Message sets by persona

    Opening lines for LinkedIn, email and calls, written for each role.

    Result: Outreach to a facilities head differs from outreach to an owner.

  4. A deal map template

    A one-page chart naming each person at a company or building and their part in the decision.

    Result: You see who has not yet been spoken to.

  5. Persona checks against closed deals

    A review of recent leases and losses to confirm or correct each sheet.

    Result: The sheets reflect what happened, not what was assumed.

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.

Do I need a persona if I deal with only a few clients?
Yes, in a short form. A few lines on who decides and what they ask for are enough, and a small firm benefits as much as a large one.
Where does the information come from?
From your files: who was on each call, who asked for what and why a deal stalled. Interviewing a few past clients adds more. Do not use personal data you have no consent to hold.
Can I keep personal details of owners in the persona?
Keep roles and concerns, not private information. Advertising rules differ by profession and state, so check your own council or adviser before publishing.
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.
