Fleet operators · CRM
Know which company's contract ends in the next review and who signs it.
A customer relationship management (CRM) record for a fleet operator holds every buyer, the routes and vehicles they use, the quote you sent and the date their contract is reviewed. It is the difference between knowing a client and remembering one. GullySales sets it up around your trip sheets and booking register, not the other way round.
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 fleet operators
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The booking register shows trips, not buyers”
Dispatch records vehicle, driver and date. Nowhere does it say who the decision-maker is, which operator they compared you with or when the rate was last revised.
“The relationship sits with one coordinator”
The person who handles the account at the office, or at the client, leaves. The next person knows the routes but not the history, and the contract is renegotiated from scratch.
“Event bookings and contracts get the same record”
A one-day wedding trip and a three-year employee transport contract need different fields. Put into one list, the contract is lost among the hundred small trips.
What we do
What we deliver for fleet operators.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Account records separate from trip records
One record per client company, school or agent with contacts, roles and contract terms, linked to the trips run for them.
Result: You can see a client's whole history in one place.
A contract tracker with review dates
Each running contract with its start date, routes, vehicles allotted, payment terms, review date and the person who signs the renewal.
Result: Renewals are prepared before the client opens the rates.
Fields for quotes lost and quotes won
The route, vehicle, rate quoted, the operator compared against and the reason given when a quote is lost, so the pattern shows up.
Result: You learn whether rate, vehicle age or reliability loses the bookings.
Complaint and escalation notes on the account
Delays, driver issues and breakdowns recorded against the client and the route, with what was done and when the coordinator was told.
Result: You walk into a review knowing every complaint raised.
A simple setup your dispatchers will use
A shared sheet or a light CRM with a few required fields, a form for new enquiries and a short training for the people on the phone.
Result: The record is filled by the person who takes the call.
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.
What to record, and when
Write these down per buyer and per contract, and the rest of the record follows.
- Who decides and who rides
- Record the signing authority, the daily coordinator and the passenger group. Their needs differ and they leave at different times, so each gets its own line.
- Source of the first enquiry
- Write how the buyer first reached you: RFQ, a referral, Maps, an agent. Enter it on day one, because the buyer will not remember in a year.
- Route, shift and vehicle type
- Pick-up zones, shift timings, headcount and vehicle type decide your cost. Record them at quote stage, then update them when the roster changes.
- Quote and the operator you were compared with
- Enter the rate, what it includes and the rival named. When you lose, ask why and record the answer in the buyer's own words.
- Contract start, review date and payment terms
- Put the review date in a calendar field and have it flag well before. Record payment terms and the days actually taken, since slow payers cost working capital.
- Do you need software yet?
- Not until several people edit the same sheet or reviews are being missed. Start with a shared sheet, and move when reminders and access control become the problem.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Map the sales process
We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.
- 2
Configure stages and fields
The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.
- 3
Set up automations
Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.
- 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.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
