Tinsukia, Assam
Tinsukia's suppliers sell on credit and a phone call, until a new garden manager arrives.
Tinsukia grew as a railway and trading junction, and its wholesale markets still supply tea gardens, oil towns and the districts across the Arunachal border, such as Namsai and Lohit. Much of the trade is run by families who have supplied the same estates and shops for generations.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
At a glance
Tinsukia is the trading town of Assam's far east. Its wholesalers supply the tea gardens around Doom Dooma, the Digboi oilfield, the Margherita coal mines and shops across eastern Arunachal. GullySales helps Tinsukia traders, estate suppliers and contractors turn phone orders into recorded, followed-up accounts.
Digboi, a short drive away, has one of the oldest working oil refineries in Asia and an oilfield that has produced for over a century. Coal India's mines at Margherita and Ledo, and the tea factories around Doom Dooma, buy equipment, spares, chemicals and transport from Tinsukia suppliers.

How buyers decide
How buyers in Tinsukia find and choose a business
Tinsukia's buyers are garden managers, oil and coal contractors, and shopkeepers from Arunachal who come down to restock. They buy from suppliers they know, on credit that runs for months, and the order is placed by phone to the owner, often in Hindi or Assamese.
The tea season sets the rhythm: estates buy fertiliser, machinery and packaging before and during plucking, from spring to late autumn, and slow down in winter. Oil and coal work follows tenders and rate contracts, with urgent breakdown orders in between that go to whoever answers first.
The problem
Where Tinsukia businesses lose orders.
What we see most often in Tinsukia, in the words owners use on the first call.
“Our Arunachal buyers order only when they come to town”
Shopkeepers from Namsai or Tezu restock on their trips down. Between trips nobody sends them rates or new stock, and a supplier on their side of the border gets the order.
“Garden orders go to whoever the new manager already knows”
Estate managers change, and each brings his own suppliers. A Tinsukia firm with no record of what it supplied, and no way to introduce itself, loses an account it held for years.
“Breakdown calls from Digboi and Margherita come after hours”
Oilfield and mine contractors need a part or a repair at any hour. A missed evening call is a job, and often a relationship, handed to the next supplier.
What we do
What we would do for Tinsukia businesses.
Usually in this order, starting with whatever we rank first once we have read your brief.
Lead response and follow-up
A named person for every enquiry, a reply routine and a follow-up date on each one until it is won or closed, so Tinsukia buyers stop going to whoever replied first.
WhatsApp marketing and automation
Quote follow-ups, reminders and repeat-order messages on the channel Tinsukia customers already use.
Local SEO
A Google Business Profile, reviews and location pages set up so the right Tinsukia buyers find you on Maps and call.
Search engine optimisation
Pages built for what buyers actually search, so enquiries arrive from search without paying for every click.
Website design and development
A page for each thing you sell, with the call, WhatsApp and quote request one tap away.
CRM implementation and customisation
One record of every enquiry and customer, set up so your team opens it daily and the pipeline is visible.

How it works
How the work runs from Bengaluru for Tinsukia businesses.
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.
Working from Bengaluru
- 1
The conversation, by call
No travel needed to find where orders are lost. Last month's enquiries in any format are enough.
- 2
Kick-off in person, when it helps
For sales process, CRM or dealer work, a visit to your premises can help. Whether one is needed is decided with you, and any travel is agreed in advance.
- 3
Day to day on WhatsApp
Questions, approvals and drafts in one thread, and an enquiry record both sides can see.
- 4
Review sessions in person when needed
When the plan changes direction or the team needs training, we come back.
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.
