Wealth management firms · Buyer journey

Map the months between a first search and a signed mandate.

The buyer journey for a wealth management firm starts with a worry, such as what to do with a retirement payout. It moves through research, a first meeting and a proposal that is often compared against two other advisers. GullySales maps each stage so nothing is left to a single follow-up call.

A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.

What buyer journey means

The buyer journey is the sequence of steps a customer actually takes, from first hearing about you to deciding to buy, which is rarely a single visit or call. GullySales maps this sequence for your business and checks that something useful happens at each step instead of only at the final call.

For wealth management firms

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

  • “It starts with a worry, not a product”

    Nobody searches for a portfolio management service for fun. They search after a bonus, a property sale or a retirement date, and the first page they read has to speak to that moment.

  • “The proposal stage is where mandates are lost”

    An investor takes a written plan away to compare. Without a scheduled follow-up on day five and day fifteen, the plan sits in an inbox and the decision defaults to inaction.

  • “The first review meeting decides the second year”

    An investor who gets a clear, on-time first quarterly review is far more likely to add money later than one who has to ask for an update.

What we do

What we deliver for wealth management firms.

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

  1. Stage map from first worry to signed mandate

    A written map of what an investor does at each stage, from a retirement payout search through the proposal to the first review meeting.

    Result: Your team knows what an investor needs at each point in the decision.

  2. Day five and day fifteen follow-up routine

    A fixed follow-up schedule after every proposal is sent, so a plan taken away to compare does not sit unanswered.

    Result: Fewer proposals are lost to silence while an investor is still deciding.

  3. First review meeting checklist

    A short checklist for the first quarterly review after a mandate is signed, covering what to bring and confirm.

    Result: A new investor's first review happens on time and feels organised.

  4. Referral pathway alongside the direct journey

    A separate, shorter set of steps for a referred investor, who still expects a proper meeting and a written plan.

    Result: A referred investor gets the same careful process as a direct enquiry.

  5. Comparison-stage material for investors weighing three firms

    A one-page summary of your process and fees to leave with an investor comparing your firm against others.

    Result: Your firm stays in the comparison instead of fading from memory.

How the result is measured

  • Drop-off rate by step
  • Time from first contact to sale
  • Steps with no content

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 want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • 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. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    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 month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    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 the end of the term

    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 wealth management firms

  1. 1

    Assess

    We look at how investors currently find you, what your website tells them about fees and advisers, and how long a proposal sits before anyone follows up.

  2. 2

    Build trust before the call

    Adviser profiles, credentials, a clear explanation of the fee structure, and content that answers the questions investors search before they pick up the phone.

  3. 3

    Get the enquiry answered fast

    A response routine for calls, WhatsApp and referrals, and a record of every enquiry so none sit unanswered.

  4. 4

    Bring investors in

    Search visibility for the planning questions investors ask, and a referral process that gives existing investors an easy way to introduce someone.

  5. 5

    Keep the mandate

    A reporting rhythm the investor can rely on, and a review-meeting cadence that surfaces the next need before the investor goes looking elsewhere.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    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.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    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.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Book the free audit
How long does the journey usually take?
From first enquiry to a signed mandate is commonly six to twelve weeks for a new investor, longer for large portfolios that need family discussion.
Can this journey be mapped for referrals too?
Yes, and it should be, since referred investors still expect a proper meeting and a written plan, not a shortcut.
Can we show our past portfolio returns in ads?
Not freely, and usually it is safer not to. SEBI and AMFI rules restrict how past performance appears, and require set disclosures where it is allowed. We build the content around your process, your advisers and the plans you write instead.
Do you know the advertising rules for investment advisers?
Yes, in outline, and your compliance officer has the final word. SEBI's advertisement code for registered advisers rules out promised returns and testimonials, and asks for registration details to be shown. Nothing goes live until your compliance officer signs it off.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit 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 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.
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 monthly review.
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.
