Home and office automation · CRM
Hold the site, the stage, the designer who sent it and the panel you installed.
A CRM for an automation integrator is half a sales record and half an as-built list: the site and its construction stage, the architect who specified you, the rooms quoted, the hardware installed and the date its contract falls due. GullySales agrees the fields and gets the team filling 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 home and office automation, the overview.

For home and office automation
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The record is also the as-built list”
Three years on, somebody rings about a dimmer that has stopped. If nothing says which panel, which make and which firmware went into that villa, an engineer drives across the city to find out what he is looking at.
“The referring architect belongs in a field, not in somebody's memory”
Unless the enquiry carries the designer's name, you cannot tell which of them actually sends work and which one you have been taking to lunch for two years. That is the single most useful thing this record holds.
“Stage beats status on a project that waits for a building”
Hot and warm mean nothing here. Record where the site has reached, from concept drawing to first fix to handover, and anyone can tell what the next action is without ringing the client to ask.
What we do
What we deliver for home and office automation.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
The fields agreed with your team, and no more
Site address, construction stage, referring designer or builder, rooms quoted, decision-makers and the next action with its date.
Result: The sales person can fill it in between two site visits.
An installed-base register linked to the enquiry
Make, model, panel location, point count and commissioning date recorded against the address once the job is done.
Result: A service call starts with the file open, not with a phone call to the client.
Contract and warranty dates carried in the same record
Warranty expiry and maintenance renewal dates stored against the site, visible to whoever is looking at the account.
Result: A renewal comes up on a list before it comes up as a complaint.
Source recorded as a named person
The architect, interior designer, builder or electrical contractor written in by name, rather than a source field that just says referral.
Result: You can rank your design contacts by the work they send.
A standing review of stalled sites
A short run through the projects whose stage has not moved, done with the sales and technical people together.
Result: A quiet project gets noticed while it can still be saved.
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 an automation integrator should record about every site, and whether it needs software yet.
- Site and construction stage
- Write the address, and whether the site is at drawing, shell, electrical first fix, finishing or handed over. Conduits and cabling must go in at the right stage, so a late enquiry on a finished wall costs the client more.
- Architect, designer or builder who specified you
- Record the named person. The record then shows which architects bring work, and a call to them after a handover is as important as a call to the homeowner.
- Rooms and systems quoted
- List what was quoted room by room: lighting scenes, curtain motors, AV, door locks, CCTV. Note which were dropped. A dropped item is a sensible thing to return to, once the client is living in the house.
- Hardware installed and where
- After the job, record the brand, model and room of each installed unit, with the date. When the client calls for a fault years later, you can see what is in the wall without a site visit.
- Warranty and service contract dates
- Write when the warranty ends and when any service contract falls due. A date in a field produces a call to a client who is still happy with you.
- Do you need software yet?
- A sheet is enough while the owner personally follows every site. Use a CRM once several sales people and site engineers share sites. Keep installed hardware list in the same record as the enquiry, and not only in accounts.

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.
