Warehousing and fulfilment providers · Referral marketing
Brands trust the provider another brand uses, so make the introduction easy to ask for.
Referral marketing for a warehousing provider means turning people who hear about brands in trouble, such as clients, consultants, packaging suppliers and Shopify developers, into a steady source of introductions. GullySales builds the list, the ask and the record of who sent whom.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
What referral marketing means
Referral marketing is asking an existing customer to recommend you to someone they know, usually with a reward for both sides. It differs from a loyalty scheme because it brings in a new customer rather than a repeat purchase. GullySales builds the ask and the reward into a point where a customer is already satisfied.

For warehousing and fulfilment providers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Clients never refer because nobody asks”
A founder pleased after a clean festival peak is ready to name a friend who is struggling. Most providers wait for it to be offered.
“Consultants and brokers do not know what you take”
A broker places a brand's space requirement with the first provider he thinks of. If he does not know your goods or your minimum, he does not think of you.
“The source of a client is not written down”
Ask a signed brand how it found you and the answer is gone, because the register has no field for it.
What we do
What we deliver for warehousing and fulfilment providers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A referrer list with an owner for each
Live clients, ecommerce agencies, packaging suppliers, courier account managers and property brokers, each with one person on your team who keeps the relationship.
Result: Introductions are asked for on purpose.
A what-we-take sheet
Goods, minimum volume, cities served and what you do not do, short enough to forward in a message.
Result: A referrer can pass you on in one line.
A request worded for the right moment
The words for asking a client after a clean peak or a smooth go-live, with a two-line introduction he can forward.
Result: The ask is easy to say yes to.
A way to thank each kind of referrer
A note and a call for clients, and a fee agreed in writing where a broker or consultant works on commission.
Result: Referrers know what to expect.
A referred-by field on the register
Who sent the brand, when, and what happened to the introduction, filled at the first call.
Result: You can see which referrers bring signed brands.
How the result is measured
- Referrals received
- Referral conversion rate
- Cost per referred customer
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How referrals work in this trade
The people who send brands to a warehousing provider, and how to make it easy for them.
- Brands you already serve
- Ask the founder after a clean peak: who else do you know who is outgrowing his godown? Offer to write the introduction in two lines he can forward.
- Ecommerce agencies and Shopify developers
- They watch a brand's orders rise and its dispatch fail. Send them your what-we-take sheet and a site visit invitation, and note which agency sent which brand.
- Packaging and carton suppliers
- They know which brands are growing, because their orders grow too. Ask whether they would pass on your details, and agree what you say about them in return.
- Courier account managers
- A courier executive hears about delays at a brand's pickup. Keep his contact, and tell him what you take and in which pin codes.
- Property brokers and logistics consultants
- They place requirements for space. Tell them your goods, minimum and area, and agree any fee in writing before the first brief arrives.
- What never to do
- Do not offer cash to clients for introductions, name a client who did not agree, or promise a referrer's contact a rate you have not agreed with that client.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
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.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job

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.

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.
