Luxury hotels · CRM

A hotel CRM should remember the guest even when the front desk changes.

A CRM for a luxury hotel is a single record of every guest, planner and corporate account, with their preferences, stays and conversations. GullySales works on the fields, the entry habits and the reminders that make that record useful to reservations, sales and the front office.

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 luxury hotels

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

  • “The knowledge sits in people, not in a record”

    The guest who prefers a high floor and hates feather pillows is remembered by one butler. When that person moves on, the next stay begins from zero and the guest notices.

  • “The property system and the sales record are different things”

    Your hotel software holds bookings and bills. It does not hold the planner who sent the guest, the promise made over WhatsApp or the date a corporate desk renews. A CRM carries what the booking system leaves out.

  • “A tool no one updates is worse than a sheet”

    A CRM that front desk staff find slow to fill is abandoned within weeks. The fields must be few, the entry quick, and the reward visible, such as a note that surfaces on the guest's next arrival.

What we do

What we deliver for luxury hotels.

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

  1. A field plan for guests, planners and corporate accounts

    The few facts worth keeping for each type of record, such as preferences, special dates, the booker and the source.

    Result: The record holds what the hotel actually uses.

  2. Tool selection for your size

    A comparison of ordinary CRM tools used in Indian hospitality against your reservations volume and your team's habits, with a recommendation.

    Result: You choose a tool the team will open.

  3. A one-time import of existing contacts

    Guest lists, planner contacts and enquiry sheets cleaned of duplicates and loaded under a single format, with consent noted.

    Result: The past is in one place.

  4. Entry habits for the desk

    A short routine for what is noted at check-in, during the stay and at check-out, written for the front office.

    Result: Preferences are recorded where the guest meets the hotel.

  5. Reminders for special dates and renewals

    Prompts to the right person before an anniversary, a planner's quiet season or a corporate rate renewal.

    Result: No important date passes unnoticed.

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
Do we need a CRM if the PMS holds guest data?
Check what the system stores and who can see it. If it holds preferences and the sales team can read them, you may need less. If planners and promises live in WhatsApp, a CRM fills that gap.
Who owns the CRM in a hotel?
One named person, in sales or guest relations, who checks that entries are made. Shared ownership means no ownership. We set the habit up, and the owner keeps it alive.
What about guest privacy?
Keep only what the hotel needs, record how the guest agreed to be contacted and restrict who can see the record. Ask your own legal adviser about the data rules that apply to your hotel.
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.
