ICSE schools · CRM
Keep every admission enquiry in one record, from first call to the first day of school.
A CRM for an ICSE school is a shared record of each family's enquiry, visit, assessment and offer, so nothing depends on one person's memory. GullySales sets up the fields, stages and reminders, and trains the office to use them.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What CRM means
A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For ICSE schools
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The register is a notebook on one desk”
When the admissions clerk is on leave, the enquiries on that desk wait. A shared record lets anyone in the office see where a family stands and what was last said.
“The principal's memory is the follow-up system”
A principal who answers serious enquiries personally holds details in their head. A note after each call, entered by the office, keeps the follow-up going when the principal is in class or at a meeting.
“Stages differ for a school”
A school sale runs through enquiry, campus visit, assessment, offer, fee and joining. A generic sales tool has stages that mean nothing here. The stages should match the steps a parent actually takes.
“Child and parent are one record”
A family may have two children, or return a year later for a sibling. A record that links siblings and previous enquiries saves the office from asking the same questions twice.
What we do
What we deliver for ICSE schools.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Fields and stages for admissions
Fields for entry class, current board, source and stage, set to match your admission process.
Result: Each enquiry shows its class, source and current step.
A tool choice that fits the office
A recommendation between a sheet and a CRM tool in ordinary use in India, based on staff and budget.
Result: The office uses a tool it can maintain.
A routine for entering enquiries
A rule for who enters each call, form and walk-in, and by when it must be on record.
Result: Every enquiry has an owner and an entry.
Reminders for next steps
Task reminders attached to each record, such as a call after a campus visit.
Result: No visit ends without a next step on the record.
A sibling and alumni link
Fields that connect brothers and sisters and flag alumni families.
Result: The office sees at once that a family already has a child in the school.
A reading of the pipeline
A plain summary of how many enquiries sit at each stage, prepared for the principal.
Result: The principal can see where families wait.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries logged in the CRM

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 CRM work runs
- 1
Map the sales process
We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.
- 2
Configure stages and fields
The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.
- 3
Set up automations
Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.
- 4
Test with real deals
We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.
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.
