ERP and enterprise software implementation partners · Buyer persona

Write for the four people who each read the same proposal differently.

A buyer persona for an ERP partner describes the roles on the committee, what each fears and what each needs to see. GullySales builds these from the firm's past wins and losses, not from guesses.

Enterprise software consultants reviewing a system configuration

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 ERP and enterprise software implementation partners

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

  • “The CFO fears cost overrun and a failed close”

    The finance head reads the statement of work for hidden lines, change request terms and who is accountable if the first month-end fails.

  • “The IT head fears integration and data loss”

    The IT head reads the migration approach, integration with billing, banking and GST tools, and who supports the system after go-live.

  • “The operations head fears disruption on the floor”

    Plant and warehouse managers read whether the team understands how stock moves and what stops if the system is down.

  • “The promoter fears the second bill”

    The owner has heard of projects that kept growing in scope. The promoter looks for clear terms, a named lead and references from owners like themself.

What we do

What we deliver for ERP and enterprise software implementation partners.

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

  1. Persona sheets for each role

    One page per role with the questions asked, the objections raised and the proof that settles them.

    Result: Every proposal speaks to the reader of each section.

  2. A buying-committee map for live deals

    A table of the people in each opportunity, their stance and the next conversation.

    Result: No deal depends on one contact.

  3. Objection and answer notes

    The common worries, such as cost overruns or training, with the answers the firm gives and the proof behind each.

    Result: Sales conversations stay consistent across the team.

  4. Message variants per role

    Short versions of the firm's pitch for finance, IT, operations and the promoter.

    Result: Outreach reads as relevant to the recipient.

  5. Win and loss interviews

    Short calls with buyers who chose or declined the firm, recorded and summarised.

    Result: Personas rest on what buyers said.

  6. Reference-call briefing

    A one-page note for each client who agrees to take a call, listing the role of the caller, the questions that role asks and the part of the project to describe, so the finance head hears about the close and the plant head hears about stock.

    Result: Reference calls answer the question each role holds.

  7. Proposal reading order

    A cover page telling each role which sections to read first: the statement of work and change terms for finance, the migration and integration plan for IT, the go-live and training plan for operations.

    Result: Each reader finds their section without searching.

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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
How many personas do we need?
One for each role that votes: finance, IT, operations and the owner. Add others only if they appear in your deals. A consultant from the software vendor or an external auditor can be added later, if either appears in your deals.
Where does the information come from?
From past proposals, call notes and conversations with clients. Do not buy a persona template that has no link to your wins. Interview the consultants who ran those projects too, since they heard the objections raised after the contract was signed.
Do personas change by industry?
Yes. A pharma quality head and a distributor's warehouse head worry about different things, so keep a short note per industry. Name the industry's own concern in the note, such as batch tracking in pharma or e-way bills in distribution.
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.
