Personal branding · Healthcare
A family picks a paediatrician in the first six weeks and keeps them for a decade.
Personal branding for a paediatrician works on a very narrow window.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

In one paragraph
Personal branding for a paediatrician works on a very narrow window. In the weeks after a birth a parent picks the doctor they will ring at two in the morning for the next ten years. GullySales writes that from a call with you and keeps it inside what your council allows.
Also written for
Paediatrician, Child specialist, Neonatologist, Pediatrician.
Where this sits
For paediatricians
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The decision is made once, by somebody who has not slept”
A first-time mother in the second week chooses on the discharge summary, a neighbour's name and whatever her phone shows at three in the morning. After the first vaccination visit she stops looking.
“Parents search the symptom and panic”
A rash, a temperature of thirty-nine, a baby who will not feed. What they find is a forum from another country and an article about a disease their child does not have, and they reach your clinic already frightened.
“Your referral comes from the obstetrician, not from parents”
For a neonatologist and for most first appointments, the name is given by the woman's gynaecologist or by the maternity ward. That relationship is your distribution and it is entirely invisible online.
“Vaccination schedules hold families, and nothing holds the ones who move”
A family shifting to another part of the city starts the search again, and so does a family whose child is now twelve. Neither of them looks up the clinic they used to visit.
What we do
What we deliver for paediatricians.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A profile written for a frightened new parent
Qualifications, registration, clinic timings, what to do outside them, and whether you handle newborn follow-up yourself. No claims, no superlatives.
Result: A mother awake at three can tell whether you are the person to call and when you will answer.
A call with you before anything is written
What parents have been bringing in and what they worried about needlessly. Everything written comes from that call, and nobody else can give it.
Result: Your reassurance on record, without you writing after an evening clinic.
Plain answers to the two o'clock searches
When a fever needs to be seen, what a rash after a vaccine means, how much a newborn should feed. Educational, with no claim about any child's outcome.
Result: A parent finds a paediatrician's answer before they find a forum.
The schedule, written where parents look
The immunisation schedule set out by age, with what each visit involves and what to expect afterwards, in language a tired parent can follow.
Result: Families keep the appointments instead of postponing the ones they do not understand.
The obstetric relationship made visible
A short note and a current biography for the gynaecologists and maternity units that hand out your name, with what you take on for newborns.
Result: The name given at discharge is yours more often, and the parent has somewhere to check it.
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 paediatricians
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 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
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 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
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.
- Search your own name and your practice or business name in a private browser window, and list the first ten results.
- Open your profile on each major platform and check that the name, photo, description and contact details agree.
- 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.
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.
