Locksmiths · CRM
Keep a record of the 2am call that the technician answered on his own phone.
A locksmith's CRM is a job log rather than a sales pipeline: the call that came in at 2am, who took it, the address, what was quoted on site and whether a van actually went. GullySales sets up that record and the short list of fields a technician can fill in from the roadside.
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 locksmiths
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The job is over before a pipeline stage would update”
A lockout is quoted and finished inside an hour, so stages like proposal sent and negotiation have nothing to hold. What the record needs is the job itself: time of call, address, lock type, price agreed and who went.
“Calls answered on a personal mobile never reach the record”
At 2am the call goes to whoever is awake, and the job is done and paid in cash before anyone opens a computer. Unless the technician can enter it from his phone, that job never existed.
“The lock and the address are the two fields that pay you later”
A customer who lost one key will lose another, and an apartment block has the same lock on most of its doors. A record naming the lock model and the block lets you quote the second job without sending anyone to look.
What we do
What we deliver for locksmiths.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A job entry short enough to fill at the gate
One record covering time of call, caller, address, lock or vehicle, quote given, technician sent and outcome, built to be typed on a phone.
Result: The job is written down before the van reaches the next call.
Entry rules for calls taken after hours
A written rule for who logs a call answered on a personal mobile at night, and by when, so a 2am job is not left to memory.
Result: A night job sits in the same place as a daytime one.
Lock, key and address history kept against the customer
Each job stores the lock model, key type and the flat or block, so a repeat call from the same building can be quoted from the record.
Result: You quote the second job without a visit to see the door.
An account view for societies and builders
Jobs grouped under the apartment complex, builder or office that called, not only the individual resident who rang.
Result: You can see what one complex is worth across a year.
The handful of views a manager reads
Jobs by technician, calls where no van was sent, and quotes given but never accepted, pulled from the same log the team fills in.
Result: Management reads the record instead of asking each technician.
The old diary moved across without losing it
Customers, lock details and society contacts carried over from the notebook or the WhatsApp group into the new record.
Result: Nothing already written down is thrown away in the switch.
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 locksmith should record about every call, and whether software is needed yet.
- Time of call and how it reached you
- Note the time and whether it came from the Maps listing, Justdial, a society notice or a repeat customer. A night call is the clearest sign of which listing is working for you.
- Address with block, flat and landmark
- Record the full address with a landmark. A repeat call from the same flat then opens one history, and the technician can find the gate without ringing back.
- Lock, door or vehicle
- Write the lock make and door type, or the car model and year. For car keys add whether a key was cut or programmed, because the next call is usually for the spare.
- Price quoted on the phone and price at the door
- Log both figures. The gap between them is where doorstep arguments start, and the record shows which kinds of job it happens on.
- Proof of occupancy checked
- Note that you saw ID or a document showing the person lives there or owns the vehicle, and who checked it. A tick is enough. It protects the technician if a dispute follows.
- Do you need software yet?
- Not while one or two technicians share a phone form that feeds a sheet. Look at software when calls reach several phones after hours, or when you hold society and office contracts with visit dates to keep.

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
