Domestic tour operators · CRM

Keep every enquirer, quote and traveller in one place your whole team can read.

A CRM for a tour operator is the single record of who enquired, what was quoted, who paid and who travelled. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habits so that WhatsApp chats stop being the only memory of the business.

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 domestic tour operators

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

  • “The business lives in one phone”

    Quotes, deposits and traveller details sit in the owner's WhatsApp. When that person is on a trip, nobody can answer a returning guest. A shared record lets anyone on the team see where each enquiry stands.

  • “Enquiry stages differ from a shop's”

    An enquiry moves from first message to dates known, to quote sent, to deposit paid, to documents collected, to travelled. Each stage needs a next step and an owner. A flat list of names hides which quotes are waiting.

  • “Seat inventory belongs beside the lead”

    For a fixed departure, the record must show seats sold, seats held and seats open, next to the people who asked. Without that link, nobody knows whom to message when a seat opens.

  • “Past travellers are your best list and the worst kept”

    The guest who travelled to Rajasthan two years ago is a prospect for Goa. If the record holds only a name, you cannot write to them sensibly. Store trip, month, group size and what they said at the end.

What we do

What we deliver for domestic tour operators.

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

  1. A simple CRM set up for trip sales

    Fields for dates, headcount, car or seat, destination, source and quote status.

    Result: Every enquiry has the same details recorded in the same place.

  2. Stages and next steps

    A pipeline from first message to travelled, each with a named owner and a next action.

    Result: You can list the quotes waiting for a reply.

  3. Departure and seat view

    A view linking each departure to the people interested and the seats left.

    Result: Open seats sit beside the names to contact.

  4. A traveller history record

    Past trips, group size, preferences and review status held for each guest.

    Result: A returning guest is greeted with their own history.

  5. Team habits

    A short rule for logging a chat the same day, and a handover note for trips in progress.

    Result: A colleague can pick up a conversation without asking the owner.

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.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM tool should we use?
One that your team will actually open. A sheet works for a small operator; a purpose-built tool suits more volume. We choose with you on how many people use it and how much you sell.
Can the CRM link to WhatsApp?
Some tools connect to the WhatsApp Business platform, which has its own rules and costs. Check the provider's current terms. Even without a link, logging the chat outcome the same day keeps the record useful.
Who should update the CRM?
Whoever handles the chat, at the end of that conversation. Updating later from memory loses detail. The owner reviews the pipeline rather than typing it all.
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.
