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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

What to capture or send

Note the product, the stage and the team behind it, since a design enquiry is judged on its fit before its price.

Product and its stage
An app in idea stage, a live product with drop-offs, or a redesign of an old dashboard. It tells the studio whether to offer research, a sprint or a design system.
Who holds the decision
The founder, the product head or a developer lead. The pitch differs for each, and the portfolio link they open first changes with the role.
Visible problem
A weak onboarding, a cluttered dashboard or a checkout that loses buyers, as the studio sees it from outside. It becomes the first line of outreach.
Where the enquiry came from
Referral, portfolio view, a post or direct outreach. It shows which route brings buyers with a real budget.
Existing design resources
Whether an in-house designer or a freelancer exists. It decides whether to offer a full project or work alongside them.

Who it is for

This is written for these UI/UX design companies.

  • Product design studios for start-ups
  • Mobile app design specialists
  • Enterprise and SaaS dashboard design firms
  • Design system and component library builders
  • UX research and usability testing consultancies
  • Website and landing page design studios
  • Service design firms for banks and public bodies
  • Product design teams embedded with a client by the month

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no case study you can show, so outreach would send founders to a portfolio that cannot explain a decision.
  • Your studio is booked through the coming projects and cannot start a discovery sprint, so a new lead would wait and move on.
  • You plan to message hundreds of founders about their apps with the same note, and each would see it as copied.

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 cold-message founders about their app?
Write about the product, name one real issue a user would meet, and keep the message short. Check the platform's current rules on messaging, and stop when someone says no. A note that reads as a critique of their team lands badly.
How do we handle people who only want a price per screen?
Explain that screens are the output and research is what decides them, then offer the paid discovery sprint. Some buyers still want only a quote, and you may decide to decline those enquiries.
What do we say to a founder who only wants a price per screen?
Explain that screens depend on the flow, the research and the states each one must cover, so a price per screen hides most of the work. Offer a paid discovery sprint that produces a scoped plan, and the founder then compares like with like.
Should we message founders about their app's problems?
Only with a specific, respectful observation and an offer to share more, never a list of faults. Founders know their product, so a note that shows you used it carefully earns a reply. Skip anyone whose product you have not looked at, and never send the same note twice.
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.
