CRM solution providers · Buyer persona

Know the owner, the sales head and the executive, who each judge a CRM differently.

A buyer persona for a CRM partner describes the people involved in the decision: who feels the pain, who approves the spend and who has to use the system daily. GullySales works with you to write these from your won and lost deals.

What buyer persona means

A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

For CRM solution providers

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

  • “The owner feels the loss and the manager feels the work”

    The owner sees leads going missing and wants control. The sales manager sees extra data entry for the team and worries about resistance. A pitch aimed only at the owner leaves the manager as the quiet blocker.

  • “The executive decides whether the CRM lives”

    A sales executive who finds the system slower than a WhatsApp message will stop using it. Adoption is won or lost at that level, so a persona should include the executive's phone, patience and habits.

  • “An accountant or ERP partner sits in the background”

    In some deals the first suggestion came from the owner's accountant or the ERP vendor. That person never attends the demo but shapes the shortlist. A persona that leaves them out misses a referral route.

What we do

What we deliver for CRM solution providers.

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

  1. Three or four written personas

    Owner, sales head, executive and adviser, each with goals, worries, the words they use and what they check first.

    Result: A one-page profile for each person in the deal.

  2. A review of won and lost deals

    A look back at the proposals you sent, to see who was in the room and what decided each result.

    Result: A table of deals with the deciding person and reason noted.

  3. Objection notes per persona

    The doubts each person raises, such as cost, data entry or switching, with an honest reply from your team.

    Result: A reply sheet for your consultants.

  4. Message variants

    Landing page lines and outreach openers written for each persona, using their own vocabulary.

    Result: Each persona gets wording that matches what they care about.

  5. A discovery question set

    Questions for the first call that reveal who decides, who uses the system and who must be convinced.

    Result: A call outline that surfaces the real decision-makers.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiry match to persona
  • Conversion rate by persona
  • Content aligned to persona

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the buyer persona 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 the current view

    We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is often the finding itself.

  2. 2

    Audit past enquiries and sales

    We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.

  3. 3

    Interview customers and staff

    Short, structured conversations surface the real language, worries and triggers behind a purchase.

  4. 4

    Build the personas

    Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.

  5. 5

    Apply to your marketing

    We show exactly where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

Tell us what you need
Is a persona just a made-up character?
It should come from deals you actually handled. GullySales builds each profile from your notes and from conversations with your consultants, and drops any detail that cannot be traced to a real case.
Do different trades need different personas?
Yes, where the roles differ. A school admissions head and a builder's sales manager want different things from a CRM. Start with the trades where you have the most completed work.
How do we use the personas afterwards?
Hand them to everyone who writes a page, runs a demo or sends a follow-up. A persona that stays in a folder does nothing, so we tie each one to a message and a call question.
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.
