Home and office automation · Sales management

Keep every showroom visit and quotation moving instead of quietly going cold.

Sales management for home and office automation means tracking every enquiry from showroom visit through quotation to signed order. This long sales cycle loses deals to inaction more often than to a lost pitch. GullySales sets up the tracking and the follow-up discipline this requires.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

For home and office automation

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The biggest loss in this business is silence, not rejection”

    Most lost deals are not explicitly declined, they simply go quiet after a showroom visit because nobody followed up at the right interval.

  • “Pipeline stages need to match the buyer's actual decision process”

    A pipeline built around showroom visit, quotation and revision, then decision, mirrors how buyers actually move, better than a generic sales-stage template.

  • “Referral source tracking belongs inside sales management”

    Recording which architect or builder sent each enquiry lets you see which referral relationships are actually converting, not just generating interest.

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.

  1. Pipeline built around showroom visit and decision

    A tracking structure matched to how buyers actually move, showroom visit, quotation, decision, rather than a generic sales-stage template.

    Result: You see exactly where a deal is sitting at any point.

  2. Scheduled follow-up at fixed intervals

    A set follow-up point after every showroom visit and quotation revision, instead of leaving it to memory.

    Result: The call after a quotation revision happens on a date, not when somebody remembers.

  3. Referral source field in every record

    Every enquiry logged with which architect or builder sent it, if any, alongside the usual sales details.

    Result: You can see which referral relationships are actually converting.

  4. Simple shared tracker sized to your team

    A shared tracker built to what a small team will actually use consistently, rather than an oversized system nobody updates.

    Result: The pipeline stays accurate because it is easy enough to keep using.

How the result is measured

  • Target achievement
  • Pipeline coverage
  • Stuck deals resolved

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What the sales head reviews

Read these six things in the project pipeline before the sales meeting.

Showroom demos with no next step
List homeowners and office clients who saw the demo of lighting scenes, curtains or video door phones and have no follow-up date. Call with a short video of a similar finished home.
Quotations under revision
Check quotes being revised for a brand change, such as KNX to a wireless system, or fewer rooms. A revision waiting on the engineer for days stalls the deal, so set a date for it.
Architect and builder referrals
Read which architect, interior designer or builder sent each enquiry, and whether it became an order. Visit the ones whose referrals convert with your latest project video.
Orders waiting on the site stage
Note quotes where the client is ready but the site is not, with wiring, conduits or false ceiling pending. Keep in touch with the site supervisor so the order is placed before the walls are closed.
Office and boardroom enquiries
List office enquiries with the facility or admin contact, the decision date and who else is quoting. A boardroom AV job with no named decision-maker is not yet a real pipeline item.
Lost projects and the reason
Write why each lost project was lost: budget, a cheaper brand, the electrician's own supplier or no reply. Read these before changing your brands or packages.

Who it is for

This is written for these home and office automation.

  • Residential smart-home integrators
  • Office and boardroom automation specialists
  • Villa and apartment builder tie-up specialists
  • Security and CCTV integration specialists
  • Home theatre and AV specialists
  • Motorised curtain and gate automation specialists

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You close a few projects a year and the owner follows each, so a review of the pipeline would repeat what is known.
  • Nobody records what was quoted after a showroom visit, and the review would start with a blank sheet.
  • You want a salesperson measured on closed orders when projects take months, which punishes the wrong person.

How it works

How the sales management work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Look at what exists

    We ask for the last few weeks of calendars, pipeline records and review notes, and find where the routine breaks.

  2. 2

    Write the routine down

    Slots, agendas, attendees and the records each meeting uses are agreed in writing before the first one.

  3. 3

    Clean the pipeline first

    Stage definitions are fixed and stale deals removed, so the first review is about real deals.

  4. 4

    Run or coach

    We lead the meetings, or sit in while your manager leads and give feedback afterwards.

  5. 5

    Deal with problems as they appear

    A slipping number is discussed at the next one-on-one with notes, not stored up for an appraisal.

  6. 6

    Hand over

    Your manager or owner takes the routine, with the templates and records, and we step back.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we need a CRM for a small team?
A simple, shared tracker works for a small team, and we help you set one up sized to what your team will use consistently.
How often should follow-up happen?
At set intervals after a showroom visit and after each quotation revision, rather than left to memory, which is where most deals are currently lost.
Should the installation engineer join the sales review?
Yes, for revisions and sites waiting on wiring. The engineer knows whether a design can be done in the client's walls and when conduits must go in. Without that, a salesperson may promise scenes or dates the site cannot take.
How do I measure a salesperson when projects take months to close?
Look at the steps they control: demos given, quotations sent, revisions turned around and follow-ups done on the date set. Orders depend on the client's construction schedule, so judge orders over a long enough stretch. A salesperson with strong steps and few orders so far is not failing.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
