SaaS and software companies · Digital marketing

Decide the measurement before the channels, because the board asks first.

Digital marketing for a software company is the plan across search, paid, content and review sites, plus a decision about what each is allowed to cost. GullySales sets the measurement first, puts the money where your named accounts are, and names the channels to leave alone.

A steam traction engine belted across a stackyard to a wooden threshing machine: the long flat belt taut between the flywheel and the drive pulley, the flywheel spinning, a straw elevator raking up off the far end, a full sack hanging on the sack spout, a corn stack half taken down behind and a water cart standing by

What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For SaaS and software companies

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

  • At seed stage almost none of it should go on brand

    A company with forty accounts worth winning does not need awareness. It needs somebody working those forty accounts properly.

  • The channels that close are not the ones in a dashboard

    A conference floor, a review site placement and a partner introduction all produce closed-won, and none of them appear in a digital marketing proposal.

  • You cannot work out your acquisition cost afterwards

    The fields, the sources and the definitions have to be set before spend goes out, because no dashboard reconstructs where last quarter's pipeline came from.

What we do

What we deliver for SaaS and software companies.

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

  1. A measurement plan written before any spend

    Source fields, campaign naming, the meeting definition and what counts as pipeline, agreed with your AEs and set up in your CRM first.

    Result: Next quarter's question already has an answer.

  2. A channel plan that names what you will not do

    The two or three channels worth your stage, with a written reason for leaving the rest alone until the company is larger.

    Result: Nobody spends a quarter on a channel that was never going to work.

  3. Budget weighted to your named accounts

    Money pointed at the companies on your target list through search, job title on LinkedIn and direct outreach, rather than split by channel convention.

    Result: Spend follows the accounts your AEs want.

  4. Review site presence treated as a channel

    Category placement, review recency and the comparison entries on the sites where your shortlist gets made, worked to a schedule rather than left to chance.

    Result: A buyer comparing you finds current reviews.

  5. Events and partners counted in the same plan

    Conference tickets, side events and partner introductions given a cost and a meeting target alongside every paid channel.

    Result: The booth cost sits next to the advertising spend.

  6. One monthly report across every source

    Meetings held, pipeline created, cost per meeting and closed-won by first touch, read against the baseline recorded before work started.

    Result: The board deck stops being assembled by hand.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Who it is for

This is written for these SaaS and software companies.

  • Seed and Series A B2B SaaS still selling founder-led
  • Bootstrapped vertical SaaS with a small team
  • Product-led companies adding a sales motion
  • Developer tools moving upmarket into team plans
  • Healthcare, fintech and other compliance-heavy software
  • Agencies and services firms productising a platform
  • Marketplaces with a supply side to recruit
  • Companies with a full AE bench and no pipeline to feed it
  • Software companies entering the US from another market

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · Within a few working days

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

  3. 03 · Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

How the work runs for SaaS and software companies

  1. 1

    Assess

    In the free audit we trace last quarter's pipeline to its real source, check reply rates and meeting show rate, and look at what happened to inbound signups.

  2. 2

    Stop the inbound leak first

    Routing, a first human reply and a call attempt on inbound, because those leads are already paid for and usually the cheapest pipeline in the building.

  3. 3

    Build the list and the message

    The account list from your closed-won pattern, the sending domains, and a first sequence written around a trigger your prospect would recognise.

  4. 4

    Run outbound and hand over

    Sequences worked daily, objections logged, and every qualified meeting handed to your AE with the research already in the CRM record.

  5. 5

    Report on held meetings

    Meetings held, cost per meeting and pipeline by source each month, with the sequences that produced nothing retired instead of quietly continuing.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep

    Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • Hours that fit your day, agreed up front

    Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

We are three people. What should we not be doing?
A company podcast, a paid booth and a brand refresh. At your size the return sits in the accounts you can name and the inbound you already receive. We would rather say that in the audit than sell you the rest.
Our agency reports on impressions. Is that useful?
To the agency. Ask for meetings held and pipeline by source instead, and accept that the numbers will be smaller and true. If nobody can connect the spend to a meeting, the reporting is not measuring what you buy.
Is this cheaper than hiring an SDR?
Per month, for most companies, yes. The more useful difference is that the work does not stop when one person resigns. You are also not paying for a quarter of ramp before the first call goes out. Put our fee next to the fully loaded seat cost your finance lead already tracks.
Will your team cold call our US prospects?
Where it fits, and we will tell you where it does not. A cold call from somebody who is not on your payroll is a real objection in US mid-market, and pretending otherwise would waste your money. For most companies we lead with email and LinkedIn, book the call, and put your AE or founder on it.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
