Structural contractors · Lead generation
Find the builders who are about to pour, before the frame is sublet.
Lead generation for a structural contractor means reaching the builders, main contractors and engineers who hand out frame work, and the owners of old buildings who need strengthening. GullySales sets up the sources, the capacity sheet and the enquiry record so that each lead is traced to an order or a loss.
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 structural contractors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The best lead is a plot that has not yet been sublet”
A builder who has cleared a plot and received a sanctioned plan is choosing a frame gang just as a foundation starts. A contractor who learns of the plot from the steel yard or the ready-mix plant is in the room first. One who waits for a tender notice meets four rivals.
“Builders call the gang they have already seen finish”
A builder gives a new block to the contractor whose last slab was cast on the promised date. Lead generation here is partly memory: every finished site is a reason for the same builder to ring again, and nobody records that call as a lead.
“Strengthening enquiries arrive without an engineer's report”
An owner with a cracked beam rings a contractor before any engineer has looked at it. If the call is treated like a normal frame lead, the contractor either chases a job with no scope or turns away a genuine one. The report comes first, and the enquiry needs sorting on that basis.
What we do
What we deliver for structural contractors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A map of builders by site stage
A list of builders and main contractors in your towns, marked by whether they are at plot, plan, foundation or frame stage, built from public information and your own contacts.
Result: You can see which builders are likely to need a gang next and which you have not called.
A capacity sheet to attach to every introduction
Gangs, shuttering, props, pumps and supervisors, written in one page so a builder can judge fit without a visit.
Result: Each introduction carries the same sheet, kept current by your office.
An enquiry record with a source column
Every call, message and referral entered with where it came from: builder, engineer, steel yard, search, owner or another contractor.
Result: At the end of a quarter you can name the source of each order won.
A sorting note for strengthening calls
A short script and page that asks the owner for the building's age, the damage seen and whether an engineer has been consulted.
Result: Strengthening calls are separated from frame leads on the first conversation.
An introduction to steel yards and ready-mix plants
A brief for the suppliers who hear of pours before anyone, saying what work you take and the towns you cover.
Result: Suppliers know what to say when a builder asks them for a frame contractor.
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.
