Tea shops · CRM

A tea shop's customer list can be a sheet of names, numbers and the packet each one buys.

A CRM for a tea shop is a simple record of who buys what: regulars, packet buyers, office accounts, gift customers and franchise enquirers. GullySales works on choosing a tool the counter staff will use and setting up the fields that matter for tea.

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 tea shops

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

  • “Customer memory lives in the head of one person”

    The owner knows which regular takes less sugar and which office wants the flask by nine. When that person is away, the knowledge goes with them and the next staff member starts blank.

  • “A notebook or a phone gallery is not a list”

    Orders get written on paper, in a chat or on a bill. When a Diwali gift run starts, nobody can pull a list of last year's buyers without an evening of searching.

  • “Different buyers need different records”

    A cup regular needs a name and a taste. An office account needs a contact, a delivery address, a quantity and an invoice route. A franchise enquirer needs a status. One shared sheet for all of them is a mess.

  • “A heavy tool will be ignored at the till”

    A system that takes a minute to update at the counter will not be updated in the rush. The record has to be quick enough for a busy hour or it will hold nothing.

What we do

What we deliver for tea shops.

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

  1. A simple CRM chosen for the counter

    A spreadsheet, a free tool or a WhatsApp Business catalogue and labels, chosen for what your staff already use.

    Result: Staff can add a customer in a few taps.

  2. Fields for tea, not for a bank

    Name, number, consent to message, usual blend, packet size, last packet date, office or home, and a notes line.

    Result: The record shows what to say to this customer.

  3. Separate lists for offices and franchise seekers

    Account records for office orders and a status column for franchise enquiries, each with an owner at the shop.

    Result: No office order or franchise question sits in the general list.

  4. An import of what already exists

    Bringing in numbers from bills, chat labels and order books into the new list, cleaned of duplicates.

    Result: One list replaces the scattered ones.

  5. A short staff guide for the till

    A single page on what to note, what to leave out and how to record consent.

    Result: Everyone on shift records the same things in the same way.

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 paid CRM software?
Not at the start. A well-kept sheet or the labels in WhatsApp Business do the job for a single outlet. A paid tool makes sense when several staff and outlets need to see the same data.
Is it fine to store customers' numbers?
Store them only with the customer's consent, for the purpose you told them, and keep them safe. Data protection rules apply to businesses; check with your own adviser what applies to you.
What should we record first?
The name, the number with consent, and the blend or packet they buy. Those three let you send a reorder note, offer a new flavour and tell regulars from passers-by.
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.
