GIS and geospatial service companies · Lead generation

Find the officer with a mapping budget before the tender notice names the winner.

Lead generation for a geospatial firm means reaching the department heads, utility project teams and contractors who need maps, surveys or a GIS database, and being known before a notice appears. GullySales works on the lead sources, the sample material and the record of each opportunity.

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 GIS and geospatial service companies

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

  • “Notices are late, relationships are early”

    By the time a tender is published, the scope is set. The officer who drafted it has talked to a few firms first. A sample sheet left with that officer earlier is what puts a firm in the room.

  • “Prime contractors are buyers too”

    A road or water contractor bids for a project and needs a mapping subcontractor. A bid manager choosing among firms looks for ready documents and past work in similar terms. Recording these contractors as leads brings repeat work.

  • “Departments have several doors”

    A municipality, a revenue department and a utility may each need mapping but sit in different offices. Without a record of who was met, the same office is approached twice and another never.

  • “Private buyers search online”

    Agri-input firms, mining companies and telecom planners search for services and call. These enquiries need a quick, clear reply and a sample, not a tender response.

What we do

What we deliver for GIS and geospatial service companies.

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

  1. Buyer-wise lead sources

    A list of sources for each buyer type: tender portals, department visits, contractor networks, events and search.

    Result: The team knows where each kind of lead comes from.

  2. Sample sheet set

    One finished sample map per sector to leave with an officer or attach to an email.

    Result: Every visit and reply carries something to show.

  3. Contractor register

    A list of civil and survey contractors who bid for work with a mapping component, with contacts and past dealings.

    Result: Prime bidders are tracked as a lead source.

  4. Enquiry form for private buyers

    A form asking area, purpose, output format and date.

    Result: Private enquiries arrive with facts for a reply.

  5. Department contact map

    A record of which offices were met, who attended and what was left behind.

    Result: No office is approached twice by accident.

  6. Qualifying questions

    A script on area, deliverables, data ownership and the buying route.

    Result: The team can tell a tender prospect from a private buyer in a few minutes.

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.

Should we approach officers before a tender?
Meetings to explain what a mapping output looks like are normal, but each department has its own rules on dealings before a tender. Check with your own adviser and keep a record of what was shared.
How do we find notices?
Watch the portals of the departments and utilities you serve, and subscribe to the alerts they offer. GullySales sets up the watch list and the response checklist.
Can lead generation promise tenders won?
No. Awards depend on the department, competitors and the terms. GullySales works on visibility, material and the record, and reports which source brought which bid.
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.
