Editorial illustration for Personal branding

In one paragraph

Personal branding for an oncologist is accurate, humane public education about cancer and an exact professional profile. GullySales drafts it from a conversation with you, keeping to what medical councils permit: no cure claims, no survival figures and no appeal for patients.

Also written for

Oncologist, Medical oncologist, Surgical oncologist, Radiation oncologist, Cancer surgeon, Haemato-oncologist.

Where this sits

For oncologists and cancer surgeons

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The internet fills the gap with false hope and false fear”

    Alternative cure claims, miracle diets and frightening forum threads reach the family before the oncologist does. Clear, sober explanations of diagnosis and options give them something reliable to read.

  • “Cancer is a group of different diseases and the writing has to say so”

    A reader with breast cancer and a reader with a blood cancer face different questions. Specific, separate pieces serve each of them, and make plain which work is yours.

  • “The three branches of cancer care are rarely told apart”

    Medical, surgical and radiation oncology are separate specialities that work together. Explaining your part of a joint plan helps families and referrers understand who does what.

  • “Cure and survival wording is the sharpest line”

    The natural sentences about cancer care are the ones that promise or imply outcomes. The discipline here is to explain the process, the uncertainty and the support, and never a statistic about results.

What we do

What we deliver for oncologists and cancer surgeons.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A profile that is exact about speciality and scope

    Qualifications, fellowships, registration details, the cancers you treat and your role in the care team, with no superlative or comparison.

    Result: A referring physician can see whether a patient belongs with you and in what role.

  2. An hour on what families need to hear

    A conversation about the questions raised at diagnosis and the misunderstandings you correct. The hour is the raw material and cannot be delegated.

    Result: Explanations in your voice, written without extra work in an already heavy schedule.

  3. Plain writing on screening, symptoms and the stages of care

    Pieces on when symptoms need review, how a diagnosis is reached, what treatment planning involves and where supportive care fits. Educational, with no cure claims and no figures.

    Result: A reader understands the process and brings sharper questions to the consultation.

  4. Careful handling of patient material

    A written policy: no stories, no testimonials, no identifiable images and no suggestion of a likely result, with consent recorded for teaching cases.

    Result: Teaching content that respects patients and your registration.

  5. Awareness days and professional platforms

    Support for educational content around cancer awareness observances, and for approaches to oncology societies, tumour boards and conferences.

    Result: Colleagues and the public meet your name in educational settings.

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, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the work runs for oncologists and cancer surgeons

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Work out whether this is even your bottleneck

    The first conversation covers how enquiries reach you today. If the company's own site is the weaker link, that comes first, and we say so.

  2. 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. 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. 4

    Rebuild the profiles

    The bio page, LinkedIn and the directories that matter in your field, done once and done properly.

  5. 5

    The routine

    Interview, drafts, your approval, publication. The interview is the only part that needs you, and it is the part that cannot be skipped.

  6. 6

    Hand it over

    The subject list, the drafting notes and the calendar are yours. If you would rather keep it running yourself, that is a fair outcome.

Before you hire anyone

The first thing to do yourself.

It costs nothing, and it shows what a buyer sees before they ever call you.

  1. Search your own name and your practice or business name in a private browser window, and list the first ten results.
  2. Open your profile on each major platform and check that the name, photo, description and contact details agree.
  3. Ask two people who recently chose you what they looked up first, and write down their answers.

Judge any provider

What to ask any agency or ghost-writer.

Useful whoever you choose, including us.

  • Who writes my words, and do I approve everything before it goes out?
  • Which of my own details and claims will you need to check with me before publishing?
  • What will you not write because of the rules my profession follows?
  • Whose account do the profiles and the content sit in, and what happens to them if we stop?
  • What do you count as a result, and what will you not promise?

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can I describe my treatment as advanced or cutting edge?
We would not. Comparative and promotional descriptions of treatment are restricted, and in cancer care they can also raise false hope. Advertising and publicity rules for doctors differ by council and change, so check with your own medical council.
Can survivors share their stories?
No. Patient stories and testimonials are not used, even with consent offered. Education in your own words can show care and competence without making a patient into an advertisement.
Do you write about alternative medicine for cancer?
Only to explain, neutrally, why claims of cure from untested remedies deserve caution. Anything touching the cure claims restricted by law is checked with you and your council first.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on what is being changed and how many of the people who matter see it. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever the work touches, such as your profiles, your website or your accounts, and time with the people who can answer our questions.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
