Business automation and RPA companies · Email marketing

Write to the finance head who said later, and leave the bought list of CFOs alone.

Email marketing for an automation firm is the follow-up to people who already asked: the discovery call that went quiet, the proof of concept that ended without an order and the client with a second process. GullySales sets up consent, sender identity and short sequences written around a named process, and keeps cold bulk sending out of it.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For business automation and RPA companies

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

“A bought list of CFOs burns the domain”
Addresses bought by job title include wrong ones and people who never asked. The damage lands on the domain your proposals and invoices are also sent from.
“The pilot client is never written to again”
After go-live there is silence. The same finance head has four other processes that people retype, and nobody has sent a note to ask.
“One newsletter goes to everyone”
A note on invoice automation sent to an operations head with a claims backlog is deleted. The message has to name the process the reader raised.

What we do

What we deliver for business automation and RPA companies.

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

A source and consent record for every address
Where each address came from, on what date and for what, kept beside the contact so that nobody has to guess whether a note is welcome.
Result: You can show how any address came to be on the list.
Sender setup on your own domain
SPF, DKIM and DMARC checked with whoever runs your mail, and every message sent from a named person's address, not a no-reply.
Result: Proposals reach the inbox and not the spam folder.
A sequence for the buyer who said later
Three short notes, each with one new example of the process they raised and one question, ending when the buyer replies or asks to stop.
Result: A not now stays a dated lead.
A post go-live sequence for pilot clients
A note on what the bot has done, a question about the team's next chore and an offer of a process walk for the next department.
Result: A client with one bot is asked about the second.
Segments by role and process
Finance heads with a reconciliation chore, operations heads with order entry and IT heads asking about access, each with their own message.
Result: A reader sees their own process in the first line.
A reply path to a named person
Replies land with an owner who answers and logs them. A reply to a nurture note is a lead and is treated as one.
Result: Nothing sent from the system is answered by silence.

What must be in place first

What an automation firm should set up before sending any marketing email.

Where each address came from: Record whether it arrived from a form, a call, a business card or an event, with the date. An address with no source stays off the list.
Consent and the data protection law: India's law on personal data and its rules apply to how you collect and use names and addresses. Ask your lawyer what your forms must say and how long you may keep a contact.
A sender identity buyers recognise: Send from a named person on your own domain, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set by whoever runs your mail. A finance head replies to a person, not to a no-reply address.
Segments by role and process: Keep finance heads asking about invoices apart from IT heads asking about access. One message per segment, naming the process the reader raised.
An unsubscribe that works: Every marketing email carries a clear way to stop, honoured and noted in the CRM. Project and proposal mail is different, so ask your lawyer where the line falls.
A reply path with an owner: Replies go to a monitored inbox, logged against the contact. A reply to a nurture note is a lead and should be answered like one.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You have no record of where your addresses came from, so you could not show a recipient how they came to be on the list.
Nobody can write to a finance head about their own process, so the mail would be a general newsletter that gets deleted.
Your domain is not set up for authenticated sending, and proposals already reach spam folders.

How it works

How the email marketing 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 list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.
2
Audit past sends
We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.
3
Segment and plan
The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.
4
Write and set up
Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.
5
Measure and adjust
We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

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.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Tell us what you need

Can we email people we met at a conference?

A badge scan is not always consent. Send a personal one-to-one note that refers to the conversation, and add the person to a list only when they agree. Check the event's own terms for how contact data from the scan may be used.

Is a newsletter worth running for an automation firm?

Only if you have something to say about processes. A newsletter that repeats your service list is deleted. A short note on one process a buyer might have, sent to people who asked, is read. Start with the follow-up sequences.

Our proposals land in spam. What is wrong?

Look first at the sender setup, and at whether the same domain also sends bulk mail. Ask whoever runs your mail to check SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and keep one-to-one proposals separate from any list mail. Ask a buyer to confirm receipt.

Can we buy a list of CFOs and finance heads?

Do not. Names from a bought list never asked to hear from you, and India's data protection law covers how personal data is collected and used. Build a list from people who enquired, from clients and from contacts you met in person.

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.
