Industrial machinery distributors · CRM

Keep every quotation, visit and service call in one record that outlasts a salesperson.

A CRM for a machinery distributor holds each factory, each person who influences a purchase and each offer, with the next step and date. GullySales works on setting up a record your team will keep up, fitted to long buying cycles and service history.

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 industrial machinery distributors

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

  • “The sale lives in one head”

    A salesperson who leaves takes the owner's trust, the promised visit and the quotation history. A shared record keeps the next call possible for whoever picks it up.

  • “Offers need stages, not just a status”

    Offer sent is not a stage a manager can act on. Visit done, bank papers asked, trial agreed and negotiation are stages that show where an order sits.

  • “Service data is sales data”

    The age of an installed machine, its last service and spares bought point to the next replacement. When that data sits in a separate service book, the sales team never sees it.

  • “A heavy tool is abandoned”

    A system with a long list of fields that nobody fills is worse than a sheet. Keep the record small, name an owner for every entry and review it in the sales meeting.

What we do

What we deliver for industrial machinery distributors.

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

  1. A CRM field plan

    A short list of fields for factory, contact, machine of interest, offer value, stage, source, next step and date.

    Result: Every entry can be filled in under a minute.

  2. Offer stage definitions

    Written stages from enquiry to order or loss, each with a test for moving forward.

    Result: Two people classify the same offer the same way.

  3. Installed machine register

    A list of machines you have supplied with installation date, warranty end and service history.

    Result: Each customer record shows machines supplied and warranty dates.

  4. Import of existing data

    Existing enquiries, quotations and contacts moved from sheets, phones and email into the record.

    Result: The old sheets can be set aside once the import is checked.

  5. Team routine

    A rule for when entries are made and how the sales meeting reads the record.

    Result: Each salesperson knows what to update and when.

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 need a paid CRM?
Not always. Distributors in India start with a well-built sheet or a low-cost tool. GullySales recommends the lightest tool that your team will use and moves later if the volume demands it.
Can the CRM link to IndiaMART?
IndiaMART enquiries can be brought in by the tools it supports. Check which route your account offers, and mark the source on every entry.
Who owns the data?
Your business owns it. Decide who may view, edit and export, and remove access when a person leaves.
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.
