Adventure tour companies · CRM

Keep every enquiry, deposit and past trekker in one place the whole team can read.

A CRM for an adventure tour company is the record of every person who asked, paid, travelled or left a review, linked to the batch they asked about. GullySales works on setting up the fields, the stages and the habits that keep it current.

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 adventure tour companies

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

  • “The phone of the person who answered is the database”

    When that person is on a trek, nobody knows who paid a deposit. One shared record removes the dependence on a single phone.

  • “A batch is a unit of seats, not a list of names”

    The company needs to see for each departure how many are confirmed, how many have paid in part and how many are waiting. A contact list cannot show that.

  • “Past trekkers are the cheapest next booking”

    Someone who completed a beginner trek is ready for the next grade. Without a record of what they did and when, no one thinks to tell them.

  • “Cancellations and refunds need a trail”

    When weather cancels a trip, the team must contact everyone by name, offer the choice and record what each chose. Memory fails here, and disputes follow.

What we do

What we deliver for adventure tour companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A pipeline built around batches

    Stages from enquiry to deposit to full payment to completed trip, with each person attached to a trip and date.

    Result: Each batch shows its seats at a glance.

  2. Fields for what matters in this trade

    Experience level, medical note, emergency contact, group name and consent for photographs, kept with each person.

    Result: The guide has what is needed before departure.

  3. A deposit and balance tracker

    A column showing what each person has paid and what is due, with a date for the balance.

    Result: Nobody is chased wrongly or missed.

  4. Tags for past trips and next steps

    Each completed trekker marked with the grade done and the natural next trip.

    Result: Reactivation messages name the right trek.

  5. A cancellation record

    The batch, the reason, each customer's choice and the refund or transfer made.

    Result: Every dispute has a written trail.

  6. Easy entry for the team on the road

    A simple way for staff to add or update a record from a phone.

    Result: The record is kept up to date in the field.

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.

How it works

How the CRM 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

    Map the sales process

    We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.

  2. 2

    Configure stages and fields

    The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    Set up automations

    Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.

  4. 4

    Test with real deals

    We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.

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.

Is a spreadsheet enough as a CRM?
For a small operator, a shared sheet with disciplined columns is a fair start. It fails when several people edit it or when you need reminders. Move to a CRM once the sheet is out of date more often than current.
Which CRM should an adventure company use?
Choose one with a mobile app, batch-style grouping and WhatsApp integration, within what the team will actually use. Several tools in ordinary use in India fit. A tool nobody updates is worse than a sheet.
What medical details can we store?
Collect only what the guide needs, such as a declared condition and an emergency contact, with the traveller's consent. Rules on personal data apply, so ask your own adviser how to store and protect it.
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.
