Software development companies · Lead generation
Turn the two-line idea into a scope before quoting it.
Lead generation for a software firm is bringing enquiries in and finding out, before an estimate is given, what is actually being built and who is paying for it. GullySales builds the outreach lists, the qualifying questions and the record of what each source produced.
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.

Sales and marketing for software development companies, the overview.
For software development companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A price given on a two-line idea becomes the ceiling”
Whatever number you say first is what the founder remembers once the scope has doubled.
“One client paying the salaries is not a pipeline”
The month that account cuts scope, the founders are back on LinkedIn between production releases.
“Delivery stops selling every release”
The people who can sell are the people fixing production, so the pipeline dries in exactly the busy months.
What we do
What we deliver for software development companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A qualifying call before any estimate
The problem, the users, the deadline, where the budget comes from and who signs, asked in order and written into the CRM.
Result: Nobody quotes a number on a WhatsApp message.
A paid discovery offer with a fixed fee
A short priced stage producing a scope, an architecture note and an estimate, with the fee set against the build if it goes ahead.
Result: The estimate rests on understanding rather than a guess.
An outreach list narrowed to one domain
Companies in the trade you know best, with the founder, the IT head and the problem they are likely to have researched beforehand.
Result: Replies come from people who recognise themselves.
Referral arrangements with ERP vendors and CAs
A note for the advisers who see clients outgrowing spreadsheets, setting out what you take on and what you do not.
Result: Projects arrive from somebody the buyer already pays.
One view of every live opportunity
Each deal by stage, owner and next action in a single view, reviewed with the partners at a fixed time each month.
Result: Selling continues through a heavy release month.
Every opportunity marked with its source
Where each enquiry, discovery and signed contract came from, reported monthly against the baseline from the audit.
Result: You invest in the source that produced contracts.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries by source
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
Who it is for
This is written for these software development companies.
- Custom software development companies

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
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 software development companies
- 1
Assess
The free audit looks at revenue by client, where each project came from, how proposals are priced, and how much founder time goes into selling.
- 2
Choose the specialism
A written decision on domains, project types and markets to lead with.
- 3
Build the proof
NDA-safe case studies, a discovery offer and a proposal that answers the buyer's risk questions.
- 4
Run the pipeline
Research-led outreach, partner referrals and a CRM that shows every opportunity.
- 5
Grow the accounts
Account plans, next-phase proposals and support contracts for every client you have delivered for.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.
Sentence Labs

- What we did
- Research first
- The website rebuilt
- Search work across the board
- Google Business Profile
- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

- Website rebuilt around patient needs
- Search visibility
- Social media on a schedule
- Review management
- Result

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.
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.
