Personal branding · Sales and marketing
You have built the company an audience and have none of your own.
Personal branding for a marketing manager or head of marketing is the visibility of the person who spends the budget: what a founder, an agency or a candidate finds before deciding whether to back you. GullySales writes and runs it from a monthly conversation, and hands the whole thing over when you want it.

Personal branding for a marketing manager or head of marketing is the visibility of the person who spends the budget: what a founder, an agency or a candidate finds before deciding whether to back you. GullySales writes and runs it from a monthly conversation, and hands the whole thing over when you want it.

For marketing managers and heads
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The budget is argued for in a room and decided before it”
A founder working out next year's spend has already formed a view of whether you know what you are doing. Part of that view comes from what other people in your industry say about you, and you have given them nothing to say.
“You hire your own team, and they check you first”
A good performance marketer picks between three offers on the question of who they will learn from. The team page belongs to the company. The part they read is yours, and it has not been touched since you joined.
“Everything you make goes out under somebody else's name”
Five years of campaigns and the credit sits with the brand. When you look for the next role the only proof you own is what you can describe in an interview, which is the weakest kind there is.
“You already know how to do this”
It is your own trade, which is exactly why it has not happened. The company's calendar takes the hours and your own goes to the bottom of the list, quarter after quarter.
What we do
What we deliver for marketing managers and heads.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A profile written by somebody who is not you
Your LinkedIn and bio rebuilt around the channels you have genuinely run, the budgets you have carried and the things you decided to stop doing.
Result: A founder or a head-hunter reads a marketer with judgement instead of a list of tools.
The monthly interview, put in your own calendar first
One hour on a campaign that underperformed and what the numbers actually said, or on the agency conversation you had been putting off.
Result: A month of drafts out of a call you can take in the car.
Writing other marketers argue with
Pieces on what a two lakh rupee monthly media budget will and will not buy, on attribution that disagrees with the sales sheet, on the brief you now refuse to accept.
Result: Comments from people whose opinion your founder already respects.
Your team credited by name
Named contributions for the people who ran the campaigns, so the department is visible and not only the person who heads it.
Result: The analyst who did the work is findable, and stays longer.
The handover, from the first month
Subject list, interview notes and calendar written the way you would brief a freelancer, and given to you as they are produced.
Result: You can stop paying us in month four and keep publishing.
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 marketing managers and heads
- 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.
