Energy management and audit companies · Lead generation

Count a bill photo on WhatsApp as a lead, and stop counting student project requests.

Lead generation for an energy audit company is getting enquiries from plants and buildings that have a trigger, a decision-maker and bills to share. GullySales sets up each source, from calls and WhatsApp to tenders and consultant referrals, so every enquiry is recorded, answered and traced to an audit signed.

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 energy management and audit companies

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

  • “Students and households fill the form”

    Energy audit searches also bring college projects, home solar quotes and job seekers, and a team that treats all of them as leads stops answering any promptly.

  • “The site visit is booked before anyone asks for the bills”

    A plant gets an auditor on the first call although nobody has seen a bill or met the person who decides, so the visit produces notes and no proposal.

  • “Portal and tender leads have no owner”

    Bought leads from marketplaces and tender notices for government buildings land in a shared inbox, where nobody logs the closing date or decides whether to bid.

What we do

What we deliver for energy management and audit companies.

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

  1. One enquiry log for every source

    Calls, WhatsApp messages, forms, marketplace leads, tenders, association contacts and referrals recorded in one place with the source, the trigger and an owner.

    Result: No enquiry lives only in someone's phone.

  2. A qualifying call for plant enquiries

    Questions on connected load, tariff category, whether bills are available, what started the enquiry and who approves spending, asked before any site day is booked.

    Result: Auditors visit plants that can decide.

  3. A reply for the bill photo

    A WhatsApp message that thanks the sender, asks for the other months' bills and the name of whoever approves spending, and books a short call with an auditor.

    Result: A photo becomes a conversation with data behind it.

  4. A tender log and bid or no-bid sheet

    A log for the tenders your team finds, each entered with eligibility, closing date and a written bid or no-bid decision against your accreditation and region.

    Result: Each tender you find gets a decision and an owner before the closing date.

  5. A referral sheet for consultants and dealers

    Each person who sends work recorded with what they sent, what happened and who thanked them, so the sources that matter are visible.

    Result: Referrers keep sending work to the firm that reports back.

  6. Results by source against the baseline

    Enquiries, qualified visits and audits signed for each source, read against the baseline taken before the work started.

    Result: You can see which source is worth more effort.

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.

Where enquiries come from

The places an energy audit enquiry first shows up, and what to record and how to reply to each.

A photo of the power bill on WhatsApp
Record the DISCOM, tariff category and sanctioned demand shown on it. Reply by asking for the other months' bills and the name of the person who approves spending.
A call from a plant head after a penalty
Log the penalty line the caller mentions and what changed before the call. Ask whether anyone has already quoted, and note who.
A referral from an electrical consultant or dealer
Record who sent it and what they told the client. Thank the referrer in writing and tell them when the audit is booked, if the client agrees.
A government or institutional tender
Log the eligibility criteria, the accreditation asked for and the submission date. Write down the bid or no-bid decision and the reason before anyone starts the papers.
A marketplace buy lead for an energy audit
Check whether it names a plant or building or is a student's request. Reply with qualifying questions rather than a rate, and tag the source so you can see whether the marketplace pays.
A card from an association meeting
Enter the contact the day you return, with the event as the source and the plant's trade. Send a one-line note that refers to what you discussed.

Who it is for

This is written for these energy management and audit companies.

  • Energy auditors accredited for designated consumers in sectors such as textiles, cement, paper and metals
  • Energy audit and management consultancies serving MSME factories and industrial area clusters
  • Building energy auditors for hospitals, hotels, malls, IT parks and campuses
  • ISO 50001 consultants who set up and audit energy management systems
  • ESCOs that finance a retrofit and are paid from the savings
  • Energy monitoring and sub-metering companies selling meters and dashboards
  • Power quality specialists working on harmonics, capacitor banks and maximum demand
  • Green building and sustainability consultants who model energy use for rating systems

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Nobody picks up the phone or the bill photo within the working day, so more enquiries would only be lost.
  • You do not yet know which audit types and plant sizes you want, so every form fill would be accepted and the site days wasted.

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 ask how many enquiries your team can answer well, who answers after hours, and what a good enquiry looks like. Without this, the system fills a funnel nobody is watching.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We read your call log, WhatsApp chats, enquiry sheet and platform dashboards. The baseline is recorded: enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Search and maps are chosen for people ready to buy, ads for people who are not yet looking, and content and referrals for trust.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms, tags, the lead record and the first-reply message are built and tested end to end. We submit test enquiries ourselves before any media money is spent.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    Enquiries are traced to source and judged by what became orders, not by volume alone. Channels that fill the sheet with poor enquiries are cut back. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

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 a directory for audit leads?
Try a small test and tag the source. If most of the leads name a real plant or building, keep it. If they are students and quotes for home solar, stop. Judge by audits signed, not by the number of names received.
One plant enquires by phone, WhatsApp and the form. Which record do we keep?
Match on mobile number and plant name, merge into one record with one owner, and keep all three sources noted. It tells you which channel the buyer trusts, which is worth knowing.
What counts as a qualified energy audit enquiry?
A plant or building with bills to share, a named person who can approve spending, and a reason for asking now. Everything else goes into a nurture list. Mark qualified in the CRM only when all three are known.
Where do contacts from exhibitions and association meetings go?
Into the same log, with the event as the source. Offline contacts are the ones that disappear, because the cards stay in a pocket. Someone should own entering them and sending the first note.
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.
