MSME and business finance providers · CRM
Know which CA, dealer or DSA sent the file, and where it is stuck, without opening the loan system.
A CRM for an MSME and business finance provider holds the stage before the loan: who enquired, who sent them, what they need, which papers are in, where the file is stuck and when someone calls next. The loan system stays with credit and operations. GullySales sets up those fields, links the two by file number and trains your officers 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.

Sales and marketing for MSME and business finance providers, the overview.
Last updated 6 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.
For MSME and business finance providers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The loan system starts after the file, not before it”
Your origination system knows a sanctioned file. It does not know the owner who enquired three times, the CA who sent him or why he dropped out in week one.
“A partner's files sit in his own sheet”
DSAs send files by email and keep their own tracker. When two partners claim the same owner, nobody can say who reached you first.
“Field officers update the record when they remember”
A visit to an estate is written in a diary or a WhatsApp message to a manager. The enquiry reaches the system days after the owner's attention has moved on.
What we do
What we deliver for MSME and business finance providers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Fields for what a lender needs to know
Business type, GST number, product asked for, the need, existing loans, papers received and missing, source and consent, agreed with your credit head.
Result: The first call and the credit team start from the same facts.
A source and partner code on every enquiry
The CA, dealer, DSA or ad that sent each owner, recorded at the first touch and not reconstructed when the loan is paid.
Result: Partner payouts and introducer notes come from the record.
Stages that match how a file really moves
Enquiry, papers pending, with credit, sanctioned, drawn down, declined and revisit date, with an owner at every stage.
Result: You can see where files stall and for how long.
A link to the loan system by file number
A shared file number so credit, operations and the sales team find the same owner, while holdings and repayment stay in the loan system.
Result: Two systems, one owner, no copy of sensitive data.
Officer and partner training on the record
A short session for the team and for the main partners on what to write after each call and what not to put in free text.
Result: Notes written the same way are notes someone can use.
Reports on files, not on activity
Files by source, by product and by stage, and declined owners due for a call, against the baseline taken before the work starts.
Result: You see which sources bring loans and where files die.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries logged in the CRM
- Data completeness
- Reports generated from CRM data
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
What to record, and when
What a business finance provider should record on every enquiry, and whether software is needed yet.
- Business, constitution and GST number
- Write the trade name, whether it is a proprietorship, partnership or company, and the GST number at the first call. It is the key you will use to find the owner again.
- Source, introducer and consent to contact
- Record who sent the owner, with the partner code, and the date he agreed to be called. A file with no consent record is a risk the day someone complains about calls.
- What the money is for
- Note whether the need is stock, a machine, unpaid invoices or a property purchase, and which product it points to. It is the first thing a credit officer asks and the owner changes it as the file goes on.
- Papers received and missing, with dates
- Keep a short list of what has come, what has not and the date the owner promised it. It stops a second officer asking for the same paper twice.
- Stage, decision and the reason in plain words
- Record where the file stands and, if it stopped, why, in the owner's words and the credit team's. Add a date to look again if the reason can change.
- Do you need software yet?
- A shared sheet with one owner per file is enough for a small team with one product. Move to a CRM when several officers and partners touch the same owners, or when callbacks are missed.

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.
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.
