The policy is bought online now, so what you sell is the claim.
Personal branding for an insurance adviser is the visibility of the person a family rings when they have to claim. That matters most in a trade whose reputation was set by other people's mis-selling. GullySales writes and runs it from a monthly conversation, inside the approvals your insurer requires.

Where this sits
For insurance advisers and agents
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The term plan went online and took the easy sale with it”
A thirty-year-old compares premiums on an aggregator and buys in eleven minutes. They did not need you for that. They will need somebody the night a hospital wants a pre-authorisation approved.
“You are carrying somebody else's mis-selling”
Every prospect has a relative who was sold an endowment policy as a fixed deposit. That conversation happened long before you arrived, and nothing in a brochure answers it.
“An agent's advertisement is not the agent's to approve”
Material naming an insurer or a product generally needs that insurer's sign-off and has to carry the prescribed registration details. The regulator's rules on advertisements by agents and intermediaries are specific, and a breach puts your licence at risk.
“The money is in renewals, and lapses happen in silence”
A policy that stops in year three costs you more than a new case earns. Nobody rings to say they have stopped paying, and by the time you notice it is a revival conversation.
What we do
What we deliver for insurance advisers and agents.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A profile carrying your licence details and who you represent
Your registration, whether you are tied to one insurer or act as a broker, and the lines you actually handle. Stated the way the rules require rather than the way a brochure would.
Result: A family checking you before handing over a proposal form sees a licensed person, not a phone number.
The monthly interview about a claim you handled
An hour with you on a claim that was queried and what it took to settle. Names and amounts stay out of it on the call itself.
Result: The one story in this trade that a reader will actually finish.
Explainers on what a claim really needs
Which documents a hospital asks for, what a query letter means, how long a reimbursement takes, what a nominee has to produce. No product mentioned anywhere.
Result: People find you while researching a claim and remember you when they buy.
The insurer approval route built into the calendar
Anything naming an insurer or a product goes through their compliance team first, with the time for it allowed in the schedule.
Result: Nothing published that your insurer would ask you to withdraw.
A note the family keeps with the policy
A one-page written record of what is covered, who to ring and what to bring, prepared for the nominee rather than the policyholder.
Result: The family calls you first instead of calling a helpline.
Your name findable during a hospital admission
Your listing, your bio page and your contact details kept current, because the search that matters happens in a waiting room.
Result: A client's brother-in-law finds you at the moment he needs to.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries that name you or came through your profile
- Searches for your name, from Search Console
- Profile views and connection requests from your industry
- Speaking invitations, press enquiries and podcast requests
- Posts published against posts planned, and what held up the rest
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
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.
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.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for insurance advisers and agents
- 1
Work out whether this is even your bottleneck
The audit call covers how enquiries reach you today. Plenty of owners come asking for this and leave with a report saying the company's own site is the weaker link, and that comes first.
- 2
Search your own name with you
We look at what a buyer sees today: every profile, old listing and photograph. Some of it you will want taken down, and some of it only you can take down.
- 3
Agree what you will and will not say
The subjects you know cold, the ones that belong to your clients, and the lines your regulator or association draws. Written down before anything is published.
- 4
Rebuild the profiles
The bio page, LinkedIn and the directories that matter in your field, done once and done properly.
- 5
The monthly rhythm
Interview, drafts, your approval, publication. The interview is the only part that needs you, and it is the part that cannot be skipped.
- 6
Hand it over
The subject list, the drafting notes and the calendar are yours. Plenty of owners keep it running themselves after a few months, and that is a fair outcome.
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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. 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.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
