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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Who it is for

This is written for these general construction contractors.

  • Contractors who build independent houses and villas for plot owners

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.

Should we pay for enquiry lists or portals?
Test one source at a time and count what reaches a site visit. A source that sends a stream of calls but no site visits is costing your engineer's time. We help you set the count before you spend, then you decide whether to continue.
Can lead generation work if we only build houses?
Yes. A house builder needs plot owners who have a sanctioned plan, and the architects who draw those plans. We focus the work on those two groups and leave the commercial sources alone.
Do you promise a number of enquiries?
No. Enquiries depend on your area, your finished work and how you reply. We build the sources and the record, and you read what each one produces.
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.
