Punjab · Locations
Punjab's factories sell to dealers, and its clinics to families with one foot abroad.
Punjab's money comes from two directions. The fields and factories of the Malwa, from Ludhiana down to Bathinda, sell wheat, cotton, knitwear and machine parts to the rest of India. The Doaba around Jalandhar has close family ties to the UK and Canada and spends remittance money at home.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
At a glance
Punjab's manufacturers in Ludhiana and Jalandhar sell knitwear and sports goods through dealers and exporters. Its hospitals and immigration firms sell to families who compare everything first, often with a relative abroad. GullySales builds the enquiry and follow-up system behind both kinds of sale, and measures it on orders rather than clicks.
Those two economies buy differently. A Ludhiana dealer wants a rate list and a sample by courier. A Jalandhar family building a house or booking a wedding hall decides partly on what a cousin in Brampton says on a video call.

How buyers decide
How buyers in Punjab find and choose a business
Most Punjab buyers search and message in Punjabi or Hindi, even when the website is in English, and many prefer a WhatsApp voice note to typing. A dealer from Haryana or Rajasthan buying from Ludhiana usually finds the unit on IndiaMART or through a wholesaler, then asks for the rate list on WhatsApp before calling.
Punjab buys by the farm and wedding calendar. Wheat is cut in April and paddy in October, and rural spending follows each harvest. The wedding season runs through the winter, when NRI families fly home. The Canadian and Australian study intakes set the pace for IELTS centres and visa consultants.
Trust still travels through people. A buyer will try a new supplier or clinic because a relative abroad or a dealer already buying named it. The order then goes to whoever replies the same day, in their language, with a price.
The problem
Where Punjab businesses lose orders.
What we see most often in Punjab, in the words owners use on the first call.
“Our NRI enquiries arrive while we are asleep”
NRI families in Canada and the UK message during their evening, which is early morning in Punjab. A hospital, builder or wedding venue that replies after the office opens has often lost the family to one that answered first.
“Our dealers only buy at the start of the season”
Knitwear and farm implements sell on a fixed calendar in Punjab, and a dealer who has booked stock with a competitor will not switch for a year. Units that start calling dealers once the season has opened are selling to the leftovers.
“Everyone asks for a lower rate on WhatsApp”
Punjab buyers are used to bargaining face to face, and a rate list sent as a bare PDF invites a counter-offer. Businesses that explain what the price includes, and follow up with a call, hold their rate more often.
“Our best customers came through relatives, and that has slowed”
Referrals inside extended families built many Punjab businesses, but those families are now split between Punjab and Canada. The referral still happens, as a search or a forwarded WhatsApp message, and a business with no reviews or website loses it.
What we do
What we would do for Punjab businesses.
Usually in this order, starting with whatever we rank first once we have read your brief.
WhatsApp marketing and automation
Quote follow-ups, reminders and repeat-order messages on the channel Punjab 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 Punjab buyers stop going to whoever replied first.
Local SEO
A Google Business Profile, reviews and location pages set up so the right Punjab 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.
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.

How it works
How the work runs from Bengaluru for Punjab 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.
