Your book follows you, which is exactly why your employer hesitates.

Personal branding for a wealth manager or investment adviser is the visibility of the individual a family will actually talk to about money, built without performance figures or client names. GullySales writes it on an hour of your month, with your compliance team's approvals built into the calendar from the start.

Where this sits

For wealth managers and investment advisers

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

  • The client arrives after a liquidity event, through two friends

    A promoter sells a stake, or a family settles a property. Within a week they have asked the two people they trust most who handles their money. The search comes afterwards, to check, and it can still kill the introduction.

  • Your employer may not want you visible

    A bank knows that a relationship manager with a following takes the book along on the way out. Expect the permission to be slow, and get it in writing before a word is drafted.

  • Discretion is the service being sold

    A family office that spots another client hinted at in your post assumes theirs will be next. Material has to work with no identifying detail at all, or it works against you.

  • The next generation is deciding whether to keep you

    The founder's children studied abroad, read differently and compare you with an app on their phone. If nothing under your name speaks to them, the relationship ends when the founder does.

What we do

What we deliver for wealth managers and investment advisers.

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

  1. A profile that survives a private bank's review

    Registration, employer, mandate type and coverage, written to the firm's own disclosure standard. Nothing about assets under management and nothing about a client.

    Result: A profile your compliance officer signs the first time rather than the fourth.

  2. The hour on how a decision was reached

    One call a month on the reasoning behind an allocation call, never on the holding or the household. The judgement is publishable, the position is not, and nobody on your team can give that hour for you.

    Result: Readers see how you think, which is the only demonstration open to you.

  3. Notes on process, not on portfolios

    What an asset allocation review covers, what changes after a business sale, how a family sets a withdrawal rule. No product, no numbers, no comparison.

    Result: Writing a prospect recognises because they are living it this month.

  4. Material written for the second generation

    Short pieces aimed at the children who are now in the room, on governance, on succession and on what the family has already agreed.

    Result: The heir treats you as their adviser rather than their father's.

  5. Closed-room panels and family office forums

    A speaker biography and two subjects offered to the private events your clients attend, which are almost never the events your industry attends.

    Result: Thirty of the right people in a room where nothing gets recorded.

  6. The approval chain mapped before anything is written

    Reviewers, timings and escalation, agreed with the compliance team at the start so the calendar is realistic.

    Result: No month where the whole programme stalls waiting for one signature.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 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 wealth managers and investment advisers

  1. 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. 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 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. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

What may an investment adviser publish about performance?
Take it as heavily restricted. The advertisement rules for registered advisers and portfolio managers limit claims about returns and past performance, set out how anything comparable must be presented, and in some cases require prior clearance. The exact position depends on your registration and it changes. Your compliance officer confirms it, because your registration is what is at stake.
I work for a bank. Can I do this at all?
Only with the bank's written permission, and some will refuse outright. Ask before you spend anything. The audit call is free and it is a reasonable place to test whether there is a version of this your employer would allow.
Can I write about a client's situation with the details changed?
Be careful. In a market this small a changed name and a changed city still identify a family to the people who matter. Write about the question rather than the case, and ask the client whenever there is any doubt.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
