Real estate investment advisors · Buyer persona

Know whether you are talking to the saver, the sibling or the sponsor abroad.

A buyer persona for an adviser describes the different people who ask about investment property, what each is worried about and who else sits in on the decision. GullySales works with you to write those descriptions from your own client conversations.

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 real estate investment advisors

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

  • “The NRI wants distance managed”

    The buyer abroad worries about title, tenants and who will check the site. They want to know someone trustworthy is on the ground, and they judge you by how clearly you describe what happens after the purchase.

  • “The salaried family wants safety first”

    A couple saving from salary for a plot is afraid of losing the amount they have set aside. They ask about registration, bank loans and exit. They respond to patience and plain explanations, not to launch-day urgency.

  • “A professional wants a rental asset”

    A doctor or a business owner looking at a shop or office thinks in terms of tenants and upkeep. They want to hear about vacancy and lease terms, and they compare you with their accountant's opinion.

  • “The parent in another city decides too”

    Sometimes a parent or an uncle must be satisfied, at times on a phone call in Kannada or Hindi. A persona that ignores the quiet decision maker misses why a keen buyer goes silent.

What we do

What we deliver for real estate investment advisors.

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

  1. Written personas from your own clients

    Four or five descriptions covering the worries, the decision makers and the questions of each type of buyer.

    Result: You can say who an enquiry resembles after the first call.

  2. A question sheet for each persona

    The three or four questions to ask first, with a note on what each answer tells you.

    Result: Your first call is shaped to the person on the line.

  3. Persona-matched page sections

    Reassurance, language and next steps on your pages adjusted to the persona reading them.

    Result: A buyer sees a page that speaks to their concern.

  4. A decision-maker map

    A way of recording who else is involved in the decision and what they need to see.

    Result: You stop losing buyers to a silent family member.

  5. Persona tag in the records

    Each family is tagged with the closest persona in your records.

    Result: You can compare how each kind of buyer moves through the stages.

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 we invent personas or use real clients?
They come from real conversations. We ask you about the families you have advised, without names, and write what they asked and feared. Nothing in them is made up to look good.
How many personas are enough?
As many as there are truly different buyers in your work. Four or five distinct ones is a normal outcome for this trade. More than that means two of them are the same.
Will personas change what we say about returns?
No. They change which worries you address and in what order. The rules on what you may say about returns stay the same, and you should check them with your own adviser.
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.
