Professional makeup artists · Lead generation
Bring in brides who have a date, a venue and a budget in mind.
Lead generation for a makeup artist means putting your work where a bride, a photographer or a planner is already looking, and making it simple to send a date. GullySales works on the sources that send real enquiries, the reply that meets them and a record of which source sent whom.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 professional makeup artists
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A rate request is a lead only when it carries a date”
A message that says only "rates?" tells you nothing about whether the bride has a date, a venue or a party of family members. A lead worth chasing names the date, the place and how many people need makeup. Asking for those three things in the first reply sorts the real from the browsing.
“Photographers send brides before the bride has chosen anyone”
The photographer is in the room during the getting-ready hours and is asked who did the makeup. A photographer who knows your style and your coverage area passes your name on without being asked. One who has never seen a look-book recommends the artist they met last.
“Listing sites and Instagram send different kinds of bride”
A bride on a wedding listing site compares several artists side by side and wants a quote. A bride who finds you through a reel has already liked a look and wants a trial. The same reply fits neither, so each source needs its own opening line.
“Enquiries from the previous season are a quiet source”
A guest who admired a bridal look, a bridesmaid who is next in the family, a sister of a past bride: these people already trust the work. They only need to hear that you take bookings and which dates are open.
What we do
What we deliver for professional makeup artists.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A source map for your enquiries
A list of where each enquiry came from: Instagram, a listing site, a photographer, a boutique, a past bride, a guest.
Result: You can read off which source sent the brides who actually booked.
Opening replies for each source
Short WhatsApp and Instagram replies written in your voice, one for a listing-site quote request and one for a reel admirer.
Result: Each reply asks for date, venue and party size before any price is sent.
A photographer and planner introduction
A one-page look-book with your style, coverage area and how to forward a bride's details.
Result: A photographer has something to forward instead of describing you from memory.
A past-bride and guest message
A short note to past clients and guests saying which seasons you are taking bookings for.
Result: The people who already trust the work hear about open dates.
A lead log with a reason for each loss
One sheet recording the source, the date asked, the next step and, when a bride goes elsewhere, the reason given.
Result: Every lost enquiry has a note beside it, so patterns show up.
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.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
How the lead generation work runs
- 1
Understand your capacity
We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.
- 2
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.
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.
