GullySales

Water treatment solutions providers · Referral marketing

Get specified by the consulting engineer before the tender is even drafted.

Referral for a water treatment company runs through consulting engineers, builders, plumbing contractors, facility managers and the apartment secretary who tells the next one. Each needs a different ask. GullySales builds the list, gives each group something useful, and records where every enquiry actually came from.

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 water treatment solutions providers

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

  • “The consulting engineer writes the specification you will be bidding against”

    For an industrial or a large residential project, the consultant decides the technology and often the make before anybody is invited to quote. Being useful to him at the drawing stage is worth more than any enquiry that arrives afterwards.

  • “Facility managers move, and they take vendors with them”

    A facility manager who trusted your service at one apartment complex is running a hotel two years later. That single relationship is the most reliable referral route in this trade, and almost nobody keeps track of where their old contacts went.

  • “One apartment secretary talks to the next one”

    Managing committees in the same area know each other, and water is the complaint they all have. A committee that got a straight answer from you will say so when a neighbouring association asks, provided somebody has given them your name to pass on.

What we do

What we deliver for water treatment solutions providers.

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

  1. A worked list of consultants, builders and contractors

    Consulting engineers, developers, plumbing contractors and facility management firms in your region, with who has specified you and who has never been approached.

    Result: You know where the next specification is being written.

  2. A technical pack a consultant can use in his drawing

    Capacities, footprints, power and running cost data in a form an engineer can lift straight into a specification without redrawing it.

    Result: Your equipment ends up in the document you will bid against.

  3. A compliance pack ready for a builder

    Certificates, test data and documentation a developer needs for approvals, kept current so it goes out the day it is asked for.

    Result: A slow document request stops costing you the project.

  4. Reference sites named, with permission

    Installations a prospective buyer may visit or ring, with the contact agreed in advance and the site's water problem described.

    Result: A facility manager can check you without taking your word.

  5. Old contacts tracked to their new sites

    A record of where satisfied facility managers and engineers have moved, so the relationship is used rather than lost.

    Result: One good service year keeps paying for several more.

  6. Referral source captured on every enquiry

    The consultant, builder, committee or customer behind each enquiry recorded when it arrives, and reported back to your team.

    Result: You can see which relationships are worth the visits.

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.

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.

  1. 01 · First

    Free audit call

    90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · 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.

  3. 03 · 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.

  4. 04 · 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.

  5. 05 · 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.

  6. 06 · 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.

How the work runs for water treatment solutions providers

  1. 1

    Assess

    We look at how clearly your site explains common water problems, how fast site surveys get scheduled, and where your enquiries currently come from.

  2. 2

    Build trust with the right content

    Pages that explain water problems in plain terms, and case studies from real installations a buyer can actually verify.

  3. 3

    Speed up survey and quote

    A routine for scheduling a site visit within days of an enquiry, so a slow process never quietly loses a deal.

  4. 4

    Bring buyers in

    Local search, content for specific problems and buyer types, and outreach to builders and facility managers.

  5. 5

    Keep the maintenance contract

    Renewal reminders set well ahead of expiry, and a fast response routine for service calls that protects recurring revenue.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How do we get in front of consulting engineers we do not know?
With data, not a brochure. Take him the water analysis for an area he is designing for, or the running cost comparison between two technologies at that hardness. A consultant is protecting his own reputation with his client, so he specifies people who make him look thorough.
Should we pay a commission for a referred project?
Many in this trade do, and if you choose to, put it in writing and keep it consistent. The risk is not the payment, it is a buyer discovering an arrangement nobody mentioned. Decide your position and make sure everyone on your team describes it the same way.
How do we compete against unbranded local installers on price?
Show the running cost over five years, not just the plant price. Membrane life, salt use, power and reject water add up, and a facility manager can compare those. A cheaper plant with no service record loses once the committee sees the whole picture.
Should we publish the water test reports from our installations?
Yes, with the customer's permission. A before-and-after report showing TDS and hardness against the IS 10500 drinking water limits is the proof a committee trusts. We remove the address unless the customer agrees to be named.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after the audit, 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?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Ads can follow soon after follow-up is in place. SEO and content take longer. How long each takes depends on your business, and the audit tells you which applies to you. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 90 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the review meetings.
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.
