Tura, Meghalaya
Tura serves the Garo Hills, and the Garo Hills trade across the Bangladesh border.
Tura sits below Tura Peak and serves the villages of West Garo Hills and nearby districts. The town depends on its bazaar, government offices, a college and the farm trade in cashew, areca nut and rubber.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
At a glance
Tura is the main town of the Garo Hills in west Meghalaya, a long road from Guwahati and close to the Bangladesh border. Shops, builders, farm traders, schools and clinics sell to the district's families. GullySales helps them reach buyers in Guwahati and nearby towns as well as in Tura.
The road to Guwahati runs through Assam and takes a long day. Border trade with Bangladesh, Wangala in November and Christmas shape the town's year.

How buyers decide
How buyers in Tura find and choose a business
Garo and English are the languages of the town, and Hindi and Bengali help in the bazaar and at the border. Buyers rely on shops they know and on Facebook pages for notices. Wangala in November and Christmas are the high weeks for clothing, food and gifts.
Farm traders sell cashew, areca nut and rubber through buyers from Assam and Bengal. A grower with a direct contact in Guwahati or Siliguri gets a better chance of fair price than one who sells only to the visiting trader.
The problem
Where Tura businesses lose orders.
What we see most often in Tura, in the words owners use on the first call.
“The road to Guwahati makes everything slow and dear”
Stock takes a long day to arrive, and freight raises prices. Shops that publish a delivery and pickup route keep buyers from the next town.
“Farm buyers set our price”
Growers who sell to one visiting trader accept his rate. A phone list of other buyers in Assam and Bengal gives growers a second quote.
“Courier companies skip our address”
Online orders fail to reach the Garo Hills. A shop that arranges its own transport or pickup wins the order.
What we do
What we would do for Tura businesses.
Usually in this order, starting with whatever we rank first once we have read your brief.
Local SEO
A Google Business Profile, reviews and location pages set up so the right Tura buyers find you on Maps and call.
WhatsApp marketing and automation
Quote follow-ups, reminders and repeat-order messages on the channel Tura customers already use.
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 Tura buyers stop going to whoever replied first.
Google Ads
Campaigns judged on cost per enquiry and cost per order, with wasted searches cut as they appear.
CRM implementation and customisation
One record of every enquiry and customer, set up so your team opens it daily and the pipeline is visible.
Search engine optimisation
Pages built for what buyers actually search, so enquiries arrive from search without paying for every click.

How it works
Working from Bengaluru
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 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.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
