Paint stores · Lead generation

Find the repaint jobs before the painter has chosen the counter.

Lead generation for a paint store means reaching the people who are about to repaint, whether the homeowner with a shade card or the contractor who buys the tins. GullySales works on the sources that send those people to your counter and on a single sheet that records each one.

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 paint stores

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

  • “The job is decided before the tin is bought”

    A homeowner decides to repaint weeks ahead, asks the painter for an estimate and only then hears which dealer will supply. A store that waits at the counter meets the buyer after the choice is made. The lead is the planned repaint, not the walk-in.

  • “A flat handover is a repaint waiting to happen”

    A new owner holding keys needs putty, primer and two coats on every wall. Builders know the handover dates, the interior designers know the budgets, and a dealer who has not met either hears about the job from the painter after the material is chosen.

  • “Brand enquiries arrive by phone and die in the pocket”

    The company passes a name, a site representative mentions a customer, a cousin forwards a number. Each is a warm lead held on one person's handset. Without a shared sheet nobody can tell which were called, which bought and which went to the shop across the road.

  • “Searching for a shade is different from searching for a shop”

    Someone typing a colour name or a waterproofing problem is asking for help, not for an address. A store with a page that answers the problem and a button to book a colour consultation meets the buyer at the question.

What we do

What we deliver for paint stores.

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

  1. A lead sheet for every source

    One list with columns for the source, the site, the product wanted and the call made, filled in the same day an enquiry arrives.

    Result: The owner can see where each enquiry came from and who called back.

  2. Builder and designer introduction routine

    A short profile of your counter, stock and delivery area, and a named person to meet the site engineers and studios in your area.

    Result: A list of builders and designers met, with the project each is running.

  3. A consultation booking page

    A page and a WhatsApp link that book a colour consultation at the shop, with the shade, the room and the wall photograph asked up front.

    Result: Every booked visit arrives with the room and the job already described.

  4. Waterproofing and putty problem pages

    Plain pages for damp walls, peeling paint and cracked plaster, each ending in a request for a site visit.

    Result: Searchers with a wall problem land on a page that answers it and asks for the visit.

  5. Painter-sourced lead capture

    A way for the counter staff to note a painter's upcoming job and the owner's name, with the painter's agreement.

    Result: Painter register entries that show the next job before the order is placed.

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

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the lead generation work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is a lead the same as a walk-in customer?
No. A lead is a person you know is planning a repaint and whose contact you hold. A walk-in is a buyer who has already chosen. The work here is to hold contacts earlier, so you speak to the buyer before the choice.
Should we pay painters for sending customers?
That is a decision for the owner, and it changes the relationship with the painter. Some dealers prefer a thank-you and a good rate. If you offer anything, write down the arrangement so the painter and the shop read it the same way.
We stock one brand. Does the brand not send the leads?
The brand sends some. Those you receive still need a call and a record. The leads from the painter, the builder and the search for a paint shop near you are yours to find.
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.
