Warehousing and fulfilment providers · Sales management

Review what is stuck between the costing and the signature, because that is where warehousing deals stall.

Sales management for a warehousing provider means the owner or sales head going through the enquiry register, the costings out and the proposals due for follow-up, and acting on what is stuck. GullySales sets up the register the review runs on and the questions asked in it.

A warehouse manager leads a business buyer through the packing area

What sales management means

Sales management is the ongoing work of reviewing a sales team's pipeline, calls and targets, and stepping in on deals that are stuck. GullySales sets the review rhythm and the reports a sales manager needs to run this without relying on gut feel.

For warehousing and fulfilment providers

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

  • “The review is a total of values”

    A list of brands with a value against each cannot show which ones have gone quiet or which costing is waiting on data from the brand.

  • “The best salesperson keeps the proposals to themselves”

    Costings sit on one laptop, so when the salesperson leaves the brand relationship leaves with them.

  • “Sales and operations review separately”

    Sales counts signed contracts and operations counts pallet positions filled. Nobody asks whether a signed brand ships what it said it would.

What we do

What we deliver for warehousing and fulfilment providers.

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

  1. A review sheet built from the register

    Enquiries received, answered, costed, visited and signed on one page, with brands past their follow-up date at the top.

    Result: The meeting starts with what is stuck.

  2. A rule for stale proposals

    When a costing is called stale, who rings the brand, and when it is closed with a reason.

    Result: Proposals stop ageing without a decision.

  3. A loss review

    Lost brands' reasons read together, with the rival and the step at which the brand left.

    Result: You change the costing or the visit, not only the price.

  4. A volume check on live clients

    What each client said they would ship set beside what they ship, flagged to the account manager as the gap widens either way.

    Result: Growth and decline are noticed while they can be acted on.

  5. A one-page record standard

    What must be on a deal before it counts in the review: source, volumes, costing version, next contact date and owner.

    Result: A deal that is not on the record is not discussed.

How the result is measured

  • Target achievement
  • Pipeline coverage
  • Stuck deals resolved

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What the sales manager reviews

What a warehousing sales head looks at in the register, and what to do when it looks wrong.

Enquiries received and answered
Count enquiries on the register by source, then compare the reply date with the received date. Where replies lag, check who was on leave or which channel nobody watches.
Costings sent and still waiting for data
List costings that went out without the brand's sample order file. These are guesses, so ring the brand for the file or close the deal.
Site visits booked from enquiries
Compare visits with qualified enquiries from the register, source by source. A source with many enquiries and no visits needs a better first reply, not more leads.
Proposals past their follow-up date
Sort the register by next contact date and read the overdue ones aloud in the meeting. Ask each owner what was last said and what happens next.
Reasons for losing
Read the closing reason on every lost brand. If it is price, check whether the structure was explained. If it is location, ask what you could have offered instead.
Clients whose volume is moving
Compare the volume a client signed for with what the system shows they ship. Growth calls for a conversation about space, and a drop for a call before the renewal.

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 sales management work runs

  1. 1

    Assess current management practice

    We look at what cadence, if any, currently exists and where it breaks down.

  2. 2

    Set the rhythm

    The touchpoints are agreed and scheduled in writing before the first review.

  3. 3

    Run or coach the cadence

    We either run the reviews and one-on-ones directly, or coach your manager to run them.

  4. 4

    Address performance directly

    Issues are raised as they appear, not left until a review period.

  5. 5

    Report to the owner

    A summary keeps ownership informed without needing to sit in every review.

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.

Tell us what you need
Who should attend the sales review?
The sales head, the person who runs operations and whoever handles accounts. Brands fail on promises that sales made and operations never heard, so operations sits in the room.
A salesperson does not update the register. What do we do?
Make the register the only source for the review: a deal that is not on it is not discussed. Ask the salesperson to speak from the record, and recognise the person who keeps it clean.
Should we set the team a target?
Set it on site visits booked and costings answered with data as well as signed contracts. Contracts take weeks, and one large brand can distort a period. Do not copy a target from another firm.
Should the owner stay in every deal?
Join the site visit and the final negotiation for large brands and leave the rest to the team. If every costing needs the owner's approval, brands wait, and the register will show it.
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.
