UI/UX design companies · Lead generation
Find the product teams with a visible problem before they start collecting quotes.
Lead generation for a UI/UX design company means finding founders and product heads whose app, dashboard or sign-up flow is already costing them users, and starting the conversation about that flow. GullySales works on the list of target products, the opening note about the problem, and the paid discovery sprint that gives an enquiry somewhere to go.
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 UI/UX design companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The best lead is a product with a flaw you can name”
A start-up whose onboarding asks for a long form before showing any value is a better prospect than a funded company with a polished app. A note that names the flaw and the question you would ask users earns a reply that a portfolio link does not.
“Inbound enquiries arrive as a request for screens”
Founders write in asking for a quote for twelve screens or a redesign of the app. Priced per screen, the work gets compared with a freelancer. Reframing the first conversation around the user problem moves the buyer toward research and away from a line-item price.
“Referrals come from developers, not from past clients alone”
App and web development firms receive design requests they cannot staff. A design studio that tells them plainly what it takes on, and how handover works, becomes the name they pass along when a client asks who should draw it.
“A free mock-up is the lead that costs the most”
Prospects ask for a sample screen before any contract, and the idea travels to a cheaper team. Treat that request as a signal to offer the paid sprint, and decide in advance which requests you will decline.
What we do
What we deliver for UI/UX design companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Target product list
Start-ups, SaaS firms and service companies whose public product shows a specific problem, grouped by app, dashboard and website, each with the flaw written beside it.
Result: A list where every name carries a reason for contacting that product team.
Problem-led opening notes
Short messages to founders and product heads that describe what a user would hit on a named screen and ask one question about it.
Result: Notes that start with the product, not the agency.
A discovery sprint landing page
One page that sets out the research, flows, prototype and test session, who does the work and what the buyer receives at the end.
Result: A destination for every enquiry that explains the paid first step.
Enquiry qualification questions
A short set of questions on who the users are, what has been tried, who builds the product and who decides, asked before any quote.
Result: A form that separates product problems from requests for cheap screens.
Developer partner outreach
A one-page offer for development firms that need a design partner, with the handover process and the kinds of project you accept.
Result: A page a development firm can forward to a client.
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
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
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
