Chemical traders · CRM

Keep each buyer's chemicals, packs and balance where the next person can read them.

A CRM for a chemical trader is one shared record of every buyer: the contact, the chemicals and packs bought, the last order and the credit position. GullySales sets up the fields, moves the details out of phones and account books, and writes the habits that keep the record 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 chemical traders

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

  • “The register must hold what the salesman remembers”

    The pack a buyer prefers, the gate the vehicle enters and the person who signs the receipt are held in one head. Those are the fields a replacement needs on the first morning, and the first to be lost when someone leaves.

  • “Credit belongs beside the order history”

    Order dates alone do not tell the owner whether to accept another order. The buyer's limit, overdue balance and last payment date sit in the same record, so the decision is made with the facts in view. The register holds these details so any colleague can ring and be recognised.

  • “The accounts package and the CRM must agree on names”

    Billing sits in one tool and relationships in another. Typing a buyer's name twice creates two records, so one source is chosen for names and the other refers to it by a shared code. The shared code keeps the ledger and the register describing the same buyer.

  • “A simple tool beats a heavy one the team will skip”

    A shared sheet or a light CRM filled in after every call serves better than a full system the counter staff leave empty. The test is whether the person on duty updates it while the buyer is still on the line.

What we do

What we deliver for chemical traders.

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

  1. A buyer record layout

    The fields for each buyer: contact, plant, chemicals, packs, usual quantity, last order, credit terms and the salesperson who owns the account.

    Result: Open any buyer and read what they buy and who handles them.

  2. Import from phones, ledgers and marketplaces

    Existing buyer details gathered from salesmen's phones, the account book and marketplace exports into one list, with duplicates merged.

    Result: Each buyer appears once in the register.

  3. Credit and overdue fields

    A limit, an overdue balance and a last payment date for each buyer, filled from the ledger.

    Result: The owner reads a buyer's credit position before approving an order.

  4. Ownership rules

    A rule that each buyer has one named salesperson, with a second person recorded as cover.

    Result: No buyer is left without a name against the account.

  5. A handover note for departures

    A one-page routine for passing accounts to a colleague when a salesperson leaves, with the register as the source.

    Result: A leaving salesperson's accounts pass on with their notes intact.

  6. Working views

    Saved views for buyers due to reorder, buyers gone quiet and buyers overdue.

    Result: Each view lists the buyers the team should call that day.

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

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the CRM work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we have to replace Tally?
No. Your accounts package stays for billing and stock. The CRM holds the buyer relationship, and the two are matched on the buyer's name or code so the same account is never typed twice.
Which CRM tool should a small trader use?
Start with whatever your counter staff will open every day, which may be a shared sheet or a light CRM sold in India. Check each tool's current features and terms before choosing, and move up only when the sheet stops coping.
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.
