Accounting software providers · Lead generation

Fill the trial queue with shops that bill every day and file GST.

Lead generation for an accounting software provider is the work of bringing traders, retailers and small firms to a trial when they already keep books, file returns and have a reason to move. GullySales works on the trade pages, the partner routes and the enquiry handling that feed that trial queue.

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 accounting software providers

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

  • “A trial installed by the wrong person goes nowhere”

    The owner downloads the trial on a Sunday, the munim opens it on Monday, finds the ledger screen unfamiliar and closes it. The lead report counts an install, yet the person who decides whether the product survives never saw a demo.

  • “Search intent is written by trade, not by feature”

    A pharmacist types billing software with expiry alerts. A garment wholesaler types stock by size and colour. Hardly anyone types accounting software on its own. Lead sources have to be organised around the shop the buyer runs.

  • “The CA is a lead source nobody counts”

    A chartered accountant who keeps the books of a long list of small clients recommends one product out of habit. That recommendation does not appear as a campaign, so it is credited to direct traffic and the CA is never thanked or equipped.

  • “Switchers are the best leads and the hardest to spot”

    A buyer unhappy with Tally or Busy searches for the old product's name next to the word alternative. Without a page that answers that search, the switcher lands on a competitor's comparison and the enquiry never reaches you.

What we do

What we deliver for accounting software providers.

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

  1. Lead sources split by trade and channel

    Every enquiry is tagged with the trade of the shop and the route it arrived by: search, video, dealer, CA or personal referral.

    Result: You can see which trade and which route brought each enquiry.

  2. A trial form that asks who will use it

    Fields for the owner, for the person who keeps the books and for the CA, so follow-up reaches the user as well as the payer.

    Result: Each trial record carries a named accountant contact.

  3. Pages for people leaving other software

    Pages for buyers moving from Tally, Busy or Excel, written around what moves over and what must be re-checked.

    Result: Switcher searches land on a page made for them.

  4. A partner registration route

    A short form where CAs and dealers register a lead, so credit is recorded before the demo and not argued about after it.

    Result: Partner-sourced buyers appear in the same list as web enquiries.

  5. A handover note for the sales team

    A one-page summary of each enquiry: trade, current software, return volume and the question asked first.

    Result: Whoever calls knows the buyer's trade before dialling.

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.

Which leads deserve a call first?
Rank by fit: a trade you serve well, a current tool the buyer dislikes, a CA already involved. A casual download from an unrelated trade can wait. GullySales helps you write the ranking down so the whole team applies it.
Do paid ads belong in lead generation here?
They can, for trades with clear search words. The ad spend is yours, set by you and kept separate from our fee in the written agreement. Start with the trades where your demo already wins.
How do we stop paying for installs that never open?
Count the first invoice raised, not the download. Make the trial ask for an opening balance import, and treat an unopened trial as an unfinished lead rather than a closed one.
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.
