Account-based selling · Sales

Stop treating every enquiry the same way and go after the accounts worth winning.

Most small sales teams handle every enquiry the same way: whoever calls in first gets followed up first. Take a manufacturer or a professional firm that sells to five or six large accounts a year. That habit means the biggest opportunity on the books gets the same three-line follow-up as a one-time buyer.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Editorial illustration for Account-based selling

In one paragraph

Account-based selling (ABS) means picking a defined list of target companies and running a coordinated approach to every decision-maker inside each one, instead of treating every enquiry alike. GullySales builds the account list, maps who to reach in each company, and coordinates calls, WhatsApp and email so the account is worked as one deal, not several disconnected conversations.

Account-based selling starts the other way round. We help you name the companies worth pursuing. We find out who actually decides and who influences the decision inside each one. Then we build a plan to reach all of them together, rather than waiting for one contact to reply.

This runs after account-based marketing has already opened a conversation, or on accounts your sales team has known by name for years without a plan. Either way, the work is coordinating who inside that account gets reached and in what order, not chasing a fresh lead.

The problem

Does this sound like your business?

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “The same message goes to a small order and a five-year contract”

    One follow-up sequence is used for every enquiry, so a large manufacturer with real budget gets the same generic WhatsApp message as a walk-in order.

  • “Nobody knows who else in the company can say no”

    A rep talks to one contact for months and then loses the deal to an approver on the other side of the building they never met.

  • “A lost account never gets revisited with a plan”

    When an account says no, it drops out of the pipeline instead of being re-approached later with the right person and the right reason.

What we do

Everything that is included.

Each deliverable, and what it gets you. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Target account list

    A ranked list of the companies worth pursuing, built from your past wins, your margin per deal and the effort each account is worth.

  2. Stakeholder map

    For each target account, the likely buyer, influencer and approver, with a note on what each one probably cares about.

  3. Coordinated outreach plan

    A sequence of calls, WhatsApp messages, email and content aimed at each stakeholder over weeks, not a single call to one contact.

  4. Account-level CRM tracking

    One record per account showing every contact and conversation, instead of scattered notes across separate deal cards.

  5. Account-specific material

    A case study, proposal or reference chosen to match what that particular account cares about, not a generic brochure.

How the result is measured

  • Accounts actively worked against the target list
  • Stakeholders reached per account
  • Accounts advancing to the next stage
  • Enquiries traced back to a named account

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for you if these sound familiar.

  • Manufacturers and exporters who sell to a short list of large buyers rather than a high volume of small ones
  • B2B firms where a deal needs sign-off from a buyer, a finance approver and a technical evaluator
  • Businesses trying to re-open an account after a stalled or lost deal
  • Sales teams handed a marketing-qualified account who then work every contact inside it separately

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your sales are high-volume and low-value with one contact per sale; ordinary lead follow-up will do more for less effort
  • You do not yet know who your best accounts are; start with market sizing and opportunity assessment first

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the account-based selling work runs

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We review how your current accounts and enquiries are actually being worked before changing anything.

  2. 2

    Build the account list

    We rank prospects by likely deal size, likelihood of winning and strategic value to your business.

  3. 3

    Map the stakeholders

    We identify who needs to be reached inside each account and what each person's role in the decision is likely to be.

  4. 4

    Coordinate outreach

    Calls, WhatsApp and email go out timed to reach every stakeholder, not just whoever answered first.

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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. 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.

Engagement options

Ways to work with us.

Pick the size of commitment that fits. Every option starts with your brief and a conversation.

  1. Option 1

    The conversation on its own

    A call after you send your brief. It says honestly whether you need outside help, and many fixes are ones your own team can make.

  2. Option 2

    One fix, scoped

    Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.

  3. Option 3

    An ongoing programme

    We run the work, report against the baseline, and you renew on the numbers. The term and the reporting are agreed in writing first.

  4. Option 4

    Guidance for your own team or agency

    We plan, brief and check the work of your in-house team or current agency, instead of replacing them.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How is this different from normal lead follow-up?
Lead follow-up treats each enquiry as its own conversation. Account-based selling treats a whole company as one deal with several people to reach, and coordinates the outreach so nobody works it alone or in the wrong order.
How many accounts should we target?
Usually a list your team can research properly and follow up every week, not everyone who might buy.
Do we need our CRM set up before starting?
It helps, but is not required. If your CRM cannot track an account with several stakeholders yet, we set that structure up as part of the engagement.
How is this priced?
There is no published price. We scope the work in a free 90-minute audit. We put the fee in writing, split three ways across our time, any media spend and production costs. The engagement runs three to six months.
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?
Fixes to reply time and follow-up are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Process, CRM and training changes show as the team uses them. Each one is tracked against the baseline.
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?
To start, last month's enquiries in any format and time with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM.
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.
