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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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. 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.

Can you give me a list of builders who need a contractor?
We build the list from public information, your past clients and your own contacts. No list can promise that a builder is hiring today, so the record also notes the last contact and the next step.
Do I need a website to get frame leads?
A single page with finished frames, equipment and the towns you cover is enough to start. Builders check a contractor before they ring, so a page that answers their questions helps, but referrals remain a main source.
How do I tell a genuine lead from a price check?
Ask for the drawing, the plot stage and who will pay. A builder with a drawing and a start date is a lead. A caller with only a per-foot question gets the scope explained, and the call is logged as an enquiry only.
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.
