Cloud consulting companies · Lead generation

Fill the pipeline with buyers who already have a cloud bill or a migration to decide.

Lead generation for a cloud consulting company means attracting CTOs, engineering heads and finance heads who have a live cloud problem and need an outside review. GullySales works on the assessment offer, the routes that bring in each type of buyer and the record that shows which route produced a paid assessment.

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 cloud consulting companies

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

  • “The enquiry arrives with a trigger”

    A cloud lead is rarely curious. Something happened: an invoice doubled, a data centre lease is ending, an audit found open ports. Lead generation that starts from the trigger reaches the buyer at the moment a consultant is wanted.

  • “Two buyers need two doors”

    The CTO asks about architecture and risk. The finance head asks why the line item grew. One contact form for both sends each of them to a page that answers only half of the question, and the budget holder leaves.

  • “Referrals come from three directions”

    Platform account managers, integrators and peer CTOs each send leads, and each wants a different reason to pass your name on. Counting them together hides which route is worth more of your time.

  • “A lead is not a paid assessment”

    A downloaded checklist is a contact, not a project. The step that matters is the first scoping call and what the buyer is asked to bring to it, because that step separates the browsers from the sponsors.

What we do

What we deliver for cloud consulting companies.

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

  1. Lead routes written down by buyer

    A short map of each route to a lead, from search to platform referral to peer introduction, with the buyer type and the first question that route should open with.

    Result: One page showing every route and who it brings.

  2. Assessment enquiry form for both buyers

    A form that asks what triggered the enquiry, the platform in use and who holds the budget, so the first reply is specific.

    Result: Every enquiry arrives with a trigger and a named budget holder.

  3. Scoping call outline

    A set of questions and a list of items for the buyer to bring, such as a recent invoice and an architecture sketch.

    Result: A first call that ends with a clear yes or no to a paid assessment.

  4. Lead source record

    A simple record of where each lead came from, who handled it and whether it became an assessment.

    Result: A view of which route produces paid assessments, not only enquiries.

  5. Referral request note for platform and integrator contacts

    A short note that tells a contact what kind of client you suit and what to say when passing your name on.

    Result: Referrers know what a good introduction to your firm looks like.

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.

What to capture or send

What a cloud consultancy should record when an enquiry arrives.

A trigger is worth more than a name, so capture it on the first contact.

The trigger behind the enquiry
Whoever takes the call writes down what prompted it: a bill jump, an approved migration, an audit or a lost engineer. It decides who replies and what is sent first.
The platform and the account size
Record whether the firm runs on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud and roughly how the spend is split. It tells you whether the enquiry fits your partner badge and your minimum scope.
Who raised the enquiry and who pays
A CTO writes in and the finance head approves. Note both roles so the reply addresses the person who will sign, not only the one who asked.
The route the enquiry came through
Mark whether it came from search, a platform account manager, a past client or a talk. Over time it shows which route brings paid assessments and which brings only downloads.
The deadline the buyer mentioned
A renewal date, a data centre contract end or a board meeting. A dated enquiry gets a call; an undated one gets the checklist.
Access the buyer can give
Ask whether read-only billing or console access can be shared for an assessment. It shows whether a scoping call is enough or a paid review has to come first.

Who it is for

This is written for these cloud consulting companies.

  • AWS partners and consultants
  • Microsoft Azure partners and migration specialists
  • Google Cloud partners and data platform advisers
  • Cloud cost optimisation and review specialists
  • Cloud security and architecture review firms
  • Data centre exit and migration advisers
  • Multi-cloud and hybrid strategy consultants
  • Landing zone and cloud governance advisers for larger firms

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no one who can scope an assessment, so a lead from a bill shock would be left waiting.
  • You cannot yet describe what your assessment includes and costs, so an enquiry would stall at the first price question.

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 ask how many enquiries your team can answer well, who answers after hours, and what a good enquiry looks like. Without this, the system fills a funnel nobody is watching.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We read your call log, WhatsApp chats, enquiry sheet and platform dashboards. The baseline is recorded: enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Search and maps are chosen for people ready to buy, ads for people who are not yet looking, and content and referrals for trust.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms, tags, the lead record and the first-reply message are built and tested end to end. We submit test enquiries ourselves before any media money is spent.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    Enquiries are traced to source and judged by what became orders, not by volume alone. Channels that fill the sheet with poor enquiries are cut back. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

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.

Tell us what you need
Should we run paid ads for cloud leads?
Possibly, for cost-shock searches, where the buyer is actively looking. We look at your routes first and recommend ads only where a search term shows a buyer with a trigger. We make no promise on lead volume.
How do we stop low-quality enquiries?
Ask for the trigger and the budget holder on the form, and state what the assessment covers. Buyers who only want a rate card read that and leave, which saves your senior people's time.
Should an enquiry be answered by sales or by an architect?
Let a named person acknowledge it and book the call, then bring an architect to the scoping. A buyer with a bill problem wants to hear technical judgement early, but the architect's time is wasted on enquiries that never fit.
How do we handle a lead who wants the review for nothing?
Offer a short scoping call and describe what the paid assessment covers. Doing the review for nothing gives away the work you sell, and a buyer with a real bill problem accepts a defined, priced review.
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.
