Tile, flooring and bathware dealers · Lead generation

Nobody should leave with twenty photographs and no name written down.

Lead generation for a tile and bathware dealer is the showroom visit, the Maps call and the designer's request turning into a written quotation and a delivery date. GullySales sets up the visitor record your floor staff will actually fill, and the follow-up that runs before the family reaches the next showroom.

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 tile, flooring and bathware dealers

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

  • “An hour at the display board is the enquiry”

    Nobody fills a form. The lead is the couple who spent an hour choosing between two beiges, and it is gone the moment they walk out unrecorded.

  • “Which room they are buying for decides the quotation”

    Hall, bathroom, kitchen, balcony and parking each need a different tile and a different rate. Ask at the counter or the follow-up call has nothing to say.

  • “The mason is a second lead standing next to the first”

    The mason will be back next month with another family. Take the mason's name and number too, not only the customer's.

  • “A designer cannot be answered like a walk-in”

    An architect wants a sample, a trade rate and a promise you will not go around them to their client. Send a showroom price list and you lose the specification.

What we do

What we deliver for tile, flooring and bathware dealers.

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

  1. A visitor slip the floor staff will fill

    Name, number, locality, the rooms being chosen for and the stage the house has reached, taken in under a minute while the family is still at the display.

    Result: Every visit has a name attached to it by closing time.

  2. Room-by-room quotation sent on WhatsApp

    Area, tile, wastage, skirting, adhesive and fittings shown for each room, as a message the family can open at home and show the mason.

    Result: They can compare your quotation without guessing what is missing.

  3. Follow-up at the three points that matter

    A message the evening of the visit, a call when the quotation is a week old, and a note when the lot they liked is running low.

    Result: The family hears from you before they sit in the next showroom.

  4. A separate route for architects and designers

    Sample dispatch, trade rates and a record of which project each firm is specifying for, kept apart from walk-in enquiries.

    Result: Specification requests get the answer they expect.

  5. One log for Maps calls, IndiaMART and walk-ins

    Calls from the listing, marketplace enquiries, designer requests and showroom visits recorded together, with the person responsible named against each.

    Result: No enquiry sits with somebody who has forgotten it.

  6. Visit to order reported

    Visits recorded, quotations written, orders confirmed and the rooms they covered, held against the count taken before any of this was in place.

    Result: You see how many of last month's visits actually bought.

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 ways a tile or bathware enquiry reaches your showroom, and who to note down at each.

A family visiting the showroom
Record the room they are buying for, who decides and who will pay, and the number of the person who will answer. Fill the visitor slip before they leave the display board.
A Google Maps or Justdial call
Ask what room, what size and whether the mason has seen the site. Offer a showroom visit or a WhatsApp catalogue, and tag the source.
An architect or interior designer
Write down the project, the site and the finish being considered. Designers want samples and a rate, so log which brands they use and who to call about stock.
A builder or contractor
Record the project, the number of units and the finish. Builders buy in volume and compare supplier rates, so ask for the schedule of rooms before quoting.
A mason or tile contractor
Note the mason and the family the mason brought. A mason may send customers to you or take them elsewhere, so log which one and whether the mason was paid for the introduction.
A WhatsApp photo of a tile or bathroom design
Save the photo, the name and the room. Reply with the nearest catalogue item, the size and the rate range, and invite the family to see the real finish in the showroom.

Who it is for

This is written for these tile, flooring and bathware dealers.

  • Multi-brand tile and sanitaryware showrooms
  • Single-brand exclusive tile galleries
  • Bathware, CP fittings and bath accessories dealers
  • Wooden, laminate and vinyl flooring retailers
  • Granite, marble and natural stone dealers
  • Tile distributors supplying builders and sub-dealers
  • Premium imported tile and bathroom studios
  • Flooring retail and installation businesses

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your floor staff are too few to write a visitor slip while serving, so more footfall would only mean more unrecorded names.
  • You hold no quotation format, and a lead would be answered with a verbal rate that cannot be compared or followed up.

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.

Our staff say they have no time to write down every visitor.
Then cut it to a name, a number and the room. Thirty seconds at the display board is the whole job, and the shortest slip is the one that gets filled. We set it up standing with the counter staff, not by handing over a form.
How soon should we call a family who took a quotation?
The same evening, with the written quotation attached, and again about a week later. Families visit two or three showrooms in one weekend, so the gap before your first message is where the order is lost.
Should we pay masons a commission for bringing customers?
Many dealers do, so decide it openly. Write the rule: a fixed amount paid on the delivered and paid order, not on a visit. Log which mason brought which family, and watch for one who also takes orders to a dealer down the road.
Whose number do we record, the husband's, the wife's or the mason's?
The decision maker's and the payer's, with the mason's noted separately. A family visits with several people, and the mason's number brings the mason, not the order. Write the relationship beside each number so the follow-up call reaches the right person.
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.
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.
