Plywood and timber dealers · Lead generation

A photograph of the designer's material list is the enquiry.

Enquiries at a depot arrive as a carpenter asking for fourteen sheets, a photograph of a material list, or a builder wanting a rate on frames. GullySales puts counter, phone and WhatsApp enquiries into one log, sets the site questions that decide a quote, and dates every follow-up.

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 plywood and timber dealers

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

  • “The site decides the quote, not the sheet count”

    Which floor, is there a lift, when does the carpenter start. A fourth-floor walk-up changes both the price and the day.

  • “A rate given on WhatsApp disappears into the chat”

    Nobody can say what was quoted three weeks ago, so the depot either repeats itself or loses the order over ten rupees.

  • “The person asking is rarely the person paying”

    A carpenter collects rates for a client he has not named, and until you know whose flat it is you are quoting into the dark.

What we do

What we deliver for plywood and timber dealers.

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

  1. One log for counter, phone and WhatsApp

    Every enquiry in a single list with the product, who asked, the site and the rate given, including messages to the owner's personal number.

    Result: An enquiry stops living inside somebody's chat.

  2. Site questions asked before the rate

    Locality, floor, lift, the date the carpenter starts and whether the client or the carpenter is paying, asked in that order.

    Result: The quote fits the job instead of guessing at it.

  3. A quote sent as a document, not a message

    A short file carrying the grade, brand, size, quantity, rate and how long the rate holds, sent instead of a typed figure.

    Result: Your rate is still readable next week.

  4. Follow-up dates on every timber quote

    A date in the calendar for each teak, frame and door quotation, with a call and a note of why it was won or lost.

    Result: Timber quotes stop vanishing for a month.

  5. The referrer recorded on every enquiry

    Which carpenter, designer, builder or neighbour sent this buyer, written down at first contact rather than remembered later.

    Result: You know who is actually sending work.

  6. Quotes against orders reported

    Enquiries by source, quotes given and orders confirmed by product, read against the figures from before the log existed.

    Result: You can see where the orders are leaking.

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

A plywood depot is approached by carpenters, designers and contractors, and each should be logged with the list and the grade.

Carpenter at the counter
Write the carpenter's name, the customer he is buying for and the site's area. Ask for the sheet list before the price, and note who pays the bill.
Interior designer's schedule
Log the designer, the project and the material list with grades and thickness. Quote from the list as a document, and record the date the designer decides.
Homeowner with a carpenter
Record both names and the work, such as wardrobes or a kitchen. Ask the homeowner what the carpenter has specified, and note which brand and grade was named.
Contractor asking for shuttering ply
Note the site, the quantity, the number of reuses expected and the delivery date. Ask for the credit terms in writing before the load leaves.
WhatsApp message with a photo of a sample
Ask for the brand mark, the thickness and the quantity. Reply with the matching grade and a note on how to check it, such as the ISI mark and the stamp on the sheet.
Builder or fit-out contractor tender
Log the project, the BOQ lines and the closing date. Check each line for the grade and the make, and keep an eye on timber prices before you commit a rate.

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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
A carpenter asks for rates ten times and buys once. Is he worth logging?
Yes, because the log is what shows you that pattern. A carpenter collecting rates for other depots looks the same as a busy one until somebody counts. After a season the list tells you which is which.
Should we quote on WhatsApp at all?
Quote on WhatsApp, but send it as a document with the grade, the size and a validity on it. A typed number gets forgotten, argued over and undercut. A sheet with your name on it survives the conversation.
A customer wants us to hold stock at today's rate while he decides. What do we record?
Record the items, the rate, the date the rate holds until and who asked for it. Put the validity in writing. Timber and plywood prices move, so an open-ended hold becomes a dispute. If the date passes, say the rate has lapsed.
A carpenter brings his customer's list. Whose enquiry is it?
Both. Record the customer as the buyer and the carpenter as the source. Ask the customer what they have agreed with the carpenter. If the carpenter is a regular, credit him in your book, but do not quote past him to the customer.
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.
