Convention hotels · CRM

Keep every enquiry, quote and site visit in one record the team can read.

A CRM for a convention hotel is a shared record of every planner, enquiry, proposal and event, so the next call is always known. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habits that keep it filled in, using a tool your team will actually open.

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 convention hotels

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

  • “Quotes live in individual inboxes”

    When a sales manager leaves or goes on leave, the open proposals leave too. A shared record with date, headcount, hall and next call keeps the pipeline with the hotel.

  • “Event deals have more stages than a room booking”

    An enquiry becomes a quote, a site visit, a revised quote, a hold on the date and a signed contract. Each stage needs a clear meaning so the team agrees what is open.

  • “Date holds create conflicts”

    Two planners wanting the same hall on the same date is a daily risk. A record that shows holds and their expiry avoids a promise being made twice.

  • “Repeat business needs a memory”

    A company's last event, its approver, what it ordered and what it complained about should be one click away when the next enquiry arrives.

What we do

What we deliver for convention hotels.

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

  1. A stage list for event deals

    Enquiry, quote sent, site visit, revised quote, date held, signed and lost, each with a plain definition.

    Result: The team agrees on what each stage means.

  2. Fields for the details of an event

    Date, headcount, layout, hall, rooms needed, budget, approver, source and loss reason.

    Result: A new enquiry can be entered completely in one sitting.

  3. A date-hold view

    A calendar view of holds and signed events by hall, with the hold expiry visible.

    Result: Anyone can see which hall is held on which date.

  4. Import of past clients and events

    Existing planners and previous events entered from files, mail and sales notes.

    Result: Past clients appear in the record with their last event.

  5. Team habits and a short guide

    A one-page rule for what must be entered and when, with a named owner for the record.

    Result: The record has one owner who checks it.

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.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM tool should we use?
One your sales team will use daily and that you can afford to keep. A spreadsheet can start the habit. If you move to a paid tool, we help set the fields up and bring your data across.
How do we get the team to fill it in?
Keep the form short, make it the only place the pipeline is reviewed, and have the sales head open it in every meeting. If the pipeline is discussed from the record, the record gets filled.
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.
