Day care centres · Sales process
Turn a trial-day visit into a signed admission within one clear conversation.
A sales process for a day care centre is the fixed set of steps from a first enquiry to a signed admission. It covers how the trial day is booked, what questions are answered on the visit, and how a hesitant parent is followed up afterwards. GullySales writes this with your front desk and gives you the record to see where families drop out.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What sales process means
A sales process is the fixed sequence of steps, such as enquiry, site visit, quote and order, that every deal is expected to pass through in the same order. GullySales writes this sequence down for your business and checks that every salesperson actually follows it.

For day care centres
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The trial day needs a checklist, not an open house”
A parent visiting expects to see the specific room for their child's age group, meet the caregiver, and hear the meal, nap and pickup routine explained clearly. A checklist keeps this consistent across every visit.
“A parent who visits and does not enrol needs a follow-up date”
A family that visited but went quiet is often still comparing centres. Without a follow-up call within a few days, the enquiry is quietly lost to whichever centre called back first.
“The admission form is completed at the visit, not left for later”
A parent who leaves without starting the admission paperwork is far more likely to enrol elsewhere. The process moves every serious visit towards at least a provisional booking on the spot.
What we do
What we deliver for day care centres.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written trial-day visit checklist
A step-by-step checklist for the room tour, meeting the caregiver and explaining the meal, nap and pickup routine, used for every visit.
Result: Every family gets the same thorough, reassuring visit.
A fixed follow-up date for undecided visitors
A rule that every trial-day visit gets a scheduled follow-up call if the family goes quiet afterwards.
Result: A hesitant family hears from you again before choosing elsewhere.
An on-the-spot provisional admission step
A short prompt built into the visit for starting the admission paperwork before the family leaves, even provisionally.
Result: Fewer families leave undecided and enrol somewhere else instead.
A recorded reason for every unconverted visit
A required note on the record for why a visit did not lead to admission, whether fees, location or timing.
Result: You can see the most common reason families choose elsewhere.
A process document your front desk can run
The whole enquiry-to-admission process written as a short, usable document for existing staff, without needing new hires.
Result: The process keeps running the same way whoever is on duty.
How the result is measured
- Deals following the process
- Time spent at each step
- Drop-off rate by step
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Steps of a sale
Take a parent from the first WhatsApp message to a confirmed seat in the same order every time.
- First call or WhatsApp enquiry
- Ask the child's age, the hours needed, the start date and any food or health needs. Record the room the child would join and which parent is making the decision.
- Booking the visit
- Offer a visit slot when the room is running normally, not during nap time, and invite both parents if they can come. Note the slot and the caregiver they will meet.
- Trial day pickup
- At pickup, tell the parent what the child ate, how long they slept and how they settled. Write those notes on the enquiry, since the parent will repeat them at home.
- Fees and admission papers
- Explain the fee, what it covers, the deposit and the notice period for leaving, with the admission form in hand. Record any question the parent could not get answered on the spot.
- Settling-in plan
- Agree shorter hours for the first days and who calls the parent if the child is upset. Keep the plan in the child's file, since this is when a family decides whether to stay.

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.

The process is built into your CRM so it is enforced structurally, not just documented.
- 4
Train the team
Reps are trained on the new process and why each stage exists.

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.
