E-commerce software providers · Lead generation

Bring in sellers who already have products and orders, not curious visitors.

Lead generation for an e-commerce software provider means attracting founders and agencies who are about to choose a platform, then separating them from people who are only browsing. GullySales works on the sources that bring those sellers in and on the questions that tell the sales team who is ready.

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 E-commerce software providers

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

  • “A signup is not a lead until products exist”

    A trial form collects students, hobbyists and competitors along with real sellers. The sales team cannot tell them apart from the name and email alone, so the real brand waits behind the browsers. Lead generation starts by deciding what a ready seller looks like.

  • “Agencies bring several stores in one introduction”

    A web agency that builds stores for Instagram sellers sets up a platform again and again for its own clients. One agency that likes your product is worth more than a single founder, yet it rarely appears in a signup list unless it is asked where it came from.

  • “Founders ask in seller groups before they search”

    A D2C founder with a shipping problem posts in a seller community or asks a friend who runs a similar brand. The answer they get names a platform. If nobody from your side has been useful in that thread, the shortlist is already written.

  • “The migrating seller is a different lead”

    A brand moving from a global platform or from marketplace listings carries a catalogue, customers and fears about lost orders. That person needs a page about the move itself, not a general invitation to start a free store.

What we do

What we deliver for E-commerce software providers.

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

  1. A definition of a ready seller

    A short list of signals such as products listed, a gateway account, courier in use and orders a day, agreed between marketing and sales.

    Result: The sales team and marketing read the same list when they call a lead ready.

  2. Qualifying questions on the demo form

    Two or three questions on what the seller sells, where orders come from today and whether a catalogue exists.

    Result: A demo request arrives with enough detail to decide who calls first.

  3. Source tagging for every signup

    Each store carries the page, community, agency or campaign it came through.

    Result: You can see which source brings sellers who reach a first order.

  4. A migration entry page

    A page for sellers leaving another platform or a marketplace, covering catalogue, customers and order history.

    Result: A seller who is switching lands on a page about switching.

  5. An agency lead route

    A separate form and tracking for web agencies and freelancers who set up stores.

    Result: Agency introductions are logged apart from seller signups.

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

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 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.

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.

Tell us what you need
Should we gate our demo behind a long form?
A long form turns away real sellers along with the browsers. Ask a few pointed questions about what the seller sells and where orders come from, and let the sales team judge the rest from the answers.
Which source should we put effort into first?
Look at which source already brings stores that take a first order. If agencies do, start there. If sellers arrive from search on Indian selling problems, write for that. The data in your own signup list decides.
How do we stop competitors and students filling the demo form?
Use work-email checks and the qualifying questions, and have the sales team mark such requests so they stop counting as leads. Keep the form short enough that a real founder finishes it.
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.
