Software development companies · Digital marketing
Keep selling through the month the release is late.
Digital marketing for a software firm is one plan across search, LinkedIn, listings and outreach, kept running while the founders are buried in delivery. GullySales sets the calendar, names an owner for each piece, and reports opportunities against it.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For software development companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The pipeline dies in a release month”
Every founder-led firm has the same cycle: a good quarter of selling, then months of silence while a product ships.
“Two buyers who read nothing alike”
A funded founder wants speed and a team he can trust. An IT head wants references, process and a support plan.
“Clutch is a support, not a channel”
Overseas and startup buyers check the profile, but Indian buyers still decide on a referral and a case study.
What we do
What we deliver for software development companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A plan that survives a release month
Material drafted and scheduled in the quiet weeks, so nothing depends on a founder being free during a launch.
Result: The quarter after a big release is not empty.
Material for the founder and for the IT head
A speed and team story for funded founders, and a references, process and support story for an IT head in an established company.
Result: Each buyer reads something written for him.
Listing profiles kept current with real reviews
Clutch and GoodFirms completed properly, with verified reviews requested from the clients whose projects went well.
Result: The shortlist check does not stop at your profile.
A named owner and a regular hour
One person accountable for the firm's own marketing, with what is due written down in advance.
Result: It does not stop when production breaks.
One view of opportunities by source
Opportunities, discoveries and contracts by channel and domain on a single page, against the baseline recorded before work began.
Result: You can close a channel that never produced a contract.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Where to start for software firms
Write the work up safely, then put it where founders and IT heads already look.
- Case studies without breaking an NDA
- Write each project as problem, approach and outcome without the client's name, and have the client approve it. Note which case study a prospect read before the first call.
- A page for each kind of build
- Write separate pages for MVPs, mobile apps, business systems and maintenance retainers, naming the stack you use. Record the page behind each enquiry.
- The founder's LinkedIn profile
- Make the founder's and delivery head's profiles say what you build and for whom. Record any discovery call that starts from a profile or post.
- Clutch and GoodFirms profiles
- Complete the profiles and ask finished clients for an honest review. Treat them as proof for people who already know your name.
- One sheet for discovery calls
- Record buyer type, source, project type and stage for each call. It shows which channel brings scoped projects rather than idle enquiries.
- What to leave until later
- Ads on the phrase software development company and conference sponsorship can wait until the sheet shows where good projects come from.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 digital marketing work runs
- 1
Understand the objective
We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.
- 2
Audit available channels
We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.
- 3
Strategise the central idea
One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.
- 4
Implement across channels
Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.
- 5
Measure as one campaign
Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.
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.
