General construction contractors · Lead generation
Bring in owners who are ready to build, not people asking for a free rate.
Lead generation for a general contractor is the work of putting your firm in front of owners, architects and trust committees at the point they need a building built. GullySales works on the sources that bring real project enquiries, and records which of them end in a signed contract.
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 general construction contractors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A plot owner and a developer are different leads”
The plot owner has one building, one loan and one chance to get it right. The developer has a pipeline and compares your rate with three others. Treating both with one pitch wastes the plot owner's trust and the developer's patience, so each source needs its own first conversation.
“Referrals arrive but are never counted”
Work comes through an architect, a dealer or a past client, yet nobody writes down who sent it. When one referrer goes quiet, the diary thins and no one can say why, because the source was never on any sheet.
“The enquiry that says only 'rate per square foot'”
A bare rate request is not a project. The contractor who replies with a number loses to the one who asks about the plot, the drawings and the structure. A short set of questions turns a price hunt into a scoped job.
What we do
What we deliver for general construction contractors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Source map of past contracts
We list the contracts you signed and the quotations you lost, and mark how each owner first heard of you.
Result: A sheet showing which sources brought signed work.
An enquiry form built for building jobs
Fields for plot location, built-up area, floors, drawings available and who supplies material, so the first call starts with facts.
Result: Every enquiry arrives with enough detail to price or decline.
Separate entry points by job type
One route for houses, one for commercial shells, one for institutional work, each with its own page and first reply.
Result: Each owner lands on a page that matches the building they have in mind.
Architect and consultant outreach list
A list of practices in your area who draw buildings, with a short pack of finished work for each.
Result: A named list of practices contacted, with a note on who replied.
Lead record by origin
Each enquiry is logged with its origin, its stage and the reason it ended.
Result: You can read cost and result for each source side by side.
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.
