Electrical equipment distributors · CRM

Keep every contractor, site and outstanding amount in one record.

A CRM for an electrical distributor is the shared record of contractors, sites, enquiries, quotations and dues that the counter staff can see. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habits so that the record gets used.

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 electrical equipment distributors

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

  • “The ledger and the enquiry sit in different places”

    Accounts software holds what a contractor owes, and a notebook or WhatsApp holds what the contractor asked for. Without a link, the counter quotes for a contractor who is already overdue.

  • “One contractor, many sites”

    A contractor runs several jobs at once, each with its own BOQ and delivery. A record that lists only the firm loses which site wanted which items and which site has paid.

  • “Staff move and memory goes”

    When a counter salesperson leaves, the contractors that person knew leave with the phone. A shared record keeps the history with the business.

  • “A complex tool stays unused”

    A system with a long list of fields gets abandoned. Start with the fields the counter will fill while a customer waits, then add more.

What we do

What we deliver for electrical equipment distributors.

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

  1. A contractor and site record

    Firm, contact, sites, makes bought, credit limit, outstanding amount and last order date.

    Result: The counter sees each contractor’s position across sites.

  2. Quotation and BOQ tracking

    Every BOQ received, the quotation sent, its validity and the result.

    Result: You can see which quotations are open and which were lost.

  3. A credit check step

    A prompt to look at the outstanding amount before accepting a new order from a contractor.

    Result: No order is accepted without a look at the dues.

  4. Stages for enquiry to delivery

    Simple stages from enquiry to quotation, order, dispatch and payment.

    Result: Each order sits at one stage that anyone can read.

  5. A tool choice note

    A comparison of record tools in ordinary use in India, matched to your size and your accounts software.

    Result: You pick a tool with a reason and know what it costs to keep.

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.

Fields worth keeping

A contractor record should hold sites, quotes and the amount owed together.

Sites and projects per contractor
Filled by the counter staff who take the BOQ. It shows which project a quote or delivery belongs to, and which sites are likely to need more material.
Makes the contractor buys
Filled from invoices. It shows who buys your authorised brands and who buys only the cheapest make, and guides which stock you push to whom.
Credit limit and current outstanding
Filled by accounts and visible to the counter. A salesperson sees at once whether a new order can be released or must wait for a payment.
Approving consultant on the project
Filled when known. It links the specifier to the sites they influence, which is where repeated orders for approved makes originate.
Quotation status and next action date
Filled by whoever sent the quote. It prevents the common loss where a quote is sent, nobody follows it and the contractor orders elsewhere.

Who it is for

This is written for these electrical equipment distributors.

  • Cable and wire distributors for building and industry
  • Switchgear, MCB and distribution board dealers
  • Motor, drive and automation component distributors
  • Lighting and LED project suppliers
  • Solar inverter, panel and BOS component distributors
  • Transformer, UPS and power equipment channel partners
  • Panel builders' component suppliers
  • Multi-brand electrical wholesalers supplying sub-dealers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your accounts software already holds customers and nobody has agreed how it links to enquiries, so a second system would hold conflicting data.
  • Counter staff change and nobody trains the new ones, so a record would be filled in differently by each person.

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 sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

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 have to replace our accounts software?
No. The record sits beside it. We decide with your accountant which figures are copied across and which stay only in the accounts.
Will the counter staff use it?
Only if it is quicker than the notebook. We keep entry short and sit with the staff to test it on real enquiries.
Can the CRM hold the ledger balance?
Show the current balance as a read-only line pulled or typed from your accounts software, and keep the ledger itself in the accounts system. The salesperson needs the number at the moment of the order. They do not need a second set of books to maintain.
What stops the counter filling in a record?
A form that asks for too much. Keep three or four fields at the counter: name, site, items and next action. Fill the rest later. Staff use a record that helps them find the last quote, and abandon one that only reports upward.
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.
