Franchise development, recruitment and expansion · Channel and partners
Pick the cities and the franchisees that will actually make your model work twice.
Expanding a franchise brand often starts with whoever enquires first, not with a plan for where the model actually works. A city gets added because a candidate with capital showed interest, not because the footfall, competition and rent levels there suit the format.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Franchise development, recruitment and expansion is the work of finding new cities and franchisees for a proven outlet model and taking each one from enquiry to opening. GullySales builds the expansion sequence, screens candidates against a franchisee fit profile, and manages the pipeline from first enquiry to signed agreement.
We treat expansion as sequencing and screening, not just accepting applications. We help decide which cities and localities to open next, and build a fit profile for the kind of franchisee your model needs. Then we run the enquiry-to-signature pipeline, so growth is chosen rather than accidental.
The problem
Does this sound like your business?
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Cities get added because someone enquired, not because they fit”
A candidate with money and enthusiasm gets a location approved without checking whether footfall and competition there resemble your working outlets.
“Every enquiry is screened differently”
One candidate gets a detailed conversation about capital and commitment, another gets a quick call and a form. Nobody can say why some franchisees succeed and others struggle.
“The pipeline from enquiry to opening has no owner”
Enquiries sit in an inbox or a spreadsheet, follow-up is inconsistent, and strong candidates go quiet while waiting for a reply.
What we do
Everything that is included.
Each deliverable, and what it gets you. Nothing here is an extra.
Franchisee fit profile
A written profile of the capital, experience and commitment level that predicts success in your format, built from your existing outlets.
City and location prioritisation
A ranked list of target cities and localities based on footfall, competition and rent, not just where enquiries have come from.
Enquiry screening and pipeline
Every enquiry logged, screened against the fit profile, and tracked through to a decision, with nothing left unanswered.
Franchise pitch and information pack
A clear pack covering investment, support, timelines and expectations, so serious candidates can decide with real information.
Agreement to opening handover
Signed franchisees handed to your operations team with a set opening timeline, ready for onboarding.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries received and screened
- Candidates matching the fit profile
- Franchise agreements signed
- Time from enquiry to signature
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.
- Brands with one or two proven outlets ready to expand through franchising
- Franchisors receiving enquiries with no consistent way to screen them
- Businesses that have opened franchises in the wrong locations before
- Companies planning multi-city expansion in the next one to two years
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Your outlets are already open through partners and the issue is their performance, not new signings. Look at channel partner franchise and retail growth
- You have not yet proven the model works in even one outlet
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 work runs
- 1
Define the fit profile
We study your best-performing outlets to define what a good franchisee and location actually look like.
- 2
Prioritise expansion targets
Cities and localities ranked so effort goes where the model is most likely to work.
- 3
Screen the pipeline
Enquiries handled through a consistent process from first contact to a signing decision.
- 4
Hand over to opening
Signed franchisees passed to operations with a defined path to opening day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
