Fleet operators · Sales process
Run the trial route as a sales step, not as a favour.
A sales process for a fleet operator is the set of steps between a company's first call and the vehicle reaching its gate on the first day, written down so that the owner and dispatcher do the same thing each time. GullySales maps your steps from enquiry to handover, and fixes the points where quotes and trials go missing.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
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 fleet operators
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The quote is sent before anyone asks who is buying”
A rate goes out to a clerk who was told to collect three prices. The decision is made by the admin head, who never saw your reply.
“The trial route is free work with no end date”
A company asks for one route for two weeks to 'see how it goes'. Without a written scope and a review date, the trial runs for months and the rate never improves.
“The first week after the win is handled by whoever is free”
The contract is signed and the first morning goes wrong because the roster was not final and the driver had not seen the route. The client remembers the first week.
What we do
What we deliver for fleet operators.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written sequence from enquiry to first trip
Steps named the way your office says them, who does each, what is recorded and what the buyer is told, on a single page the whole team uses.
Result: Two dispatchers handle the same enquiry the same way.
A qualifying set of questions
Route or zones, shifts, headcount, current operator, why they are looking, who signs, the papers they need and the date they want to start.
Result: You find out in the first call whether a quote is worth building.
A route survey and costing sheet
Distance, dead mileage, traffic windows, parking and the empty run back, worked into a cost per vehicle per day before any rate is spoken.
Result: A rate is quoted from the route's real cost.
A trial route agreement
A one-page note listing the route, vehicles, duration, the rate for the trial, what counts as a miss and the review date.
Result: A trial ends in a decision, not in drift.
A first-week handover checklist
The final roster, the driver briefed on each pick-up, a reserve vehicle named, the coordinator's contact and a call after the first morning.
Result: The first week is the best week you give the client.
Reasons for lost quotes on record
A line on every quote that did not convert: rate, vehicle age, tracking or timing, taken from the buyer's own answer.
Result: You change the step that is losing the contracts.
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
Six steps from the first call to the first morning, in the words a transport office uses.
- Enquiry
- Log the source, contact and role on the register. Reply the same day with two questions on route and dates, and the vendor pack if it is a company.
- Qualify
- Ask the headcount, shifts, zones, current operator and who signs. A buyer who cannot say who signs is still collecting prices; note that and continue.
- Survey and quote
- Drive or map the route, count the empty run back and work the cost per vehicle. Send one written quote that lists what is included and what is extra.
- Trial and follow-up
- Agree the trial in writing with a review date. Follow up after the first morning and again before the review, and record what the client said.
- Close and empanelment
- Fill the client's vendor forms, send the papers and agree payment terms. Get the contract or purchase order in writing before the vehicles are added.
- Handover to dispatch
- Pass the route, the roster, the standby and the coordinator's number to the person who will run it. Call the client after the first week and write down their remarks.
Who it is for

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
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.

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.
