Medical equipment distributors · CRM

Keep every quotation, demonstration and service visit in one record.

A CRM for a medical equipment distributor is the record of each hospital and clinic: contacts, machines supplied, quotations, demonstration dates and service history. GullySales sets up the fields, stages and reminders around a long, multi-person sale, and moves your existing sheets into it.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Surgical and medical supplies distributors: show a real physical business scene illustrating Lot and expiry on every line. Record lot, expiry and pack size on the purchase, delivery note and invoice, and pick the shortest-dated lot first unless a buyer asks for a particular one.

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 medical equipment distributors

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

  • “One hospital, several contacts, one record”

    The doctor, the administrator and the biomedical engineer belong to the same enquiry. If each sits in a different salesperson's phone, the follow-up repeats or is missed. A single account with several contacts shows who was spoken to and when.

  • “The installed base is your next sales list”

    A hospital running an old X-ray unit is a replacement prospect. A record of what you supplied, when it was installed and when the warranty ended gives sales a list of calls to make, built from your own history.

  • “Staff change, the history should stay”

    A salesperson who leaves takes the knowledge of a pending quotation along. A record kept up after every call lets the next person ring the administrator with the full story.

What we do

What we deliver for medical equipment distributors.

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

  1. Stages for a long sale

    Enquiry, demonstration, quotation, budget approval, order, installation and handover, each with an owner.

    Result: Each open quotation sits in one named stage.

  2. Account and contact structure

    Hospital accounts with doctors, administrators and engineers attached as separate contacts.

    Result: One screen shows everyone connected with a hospital.

  3. Installed machine register

    A list of machines supplied, with installation date, warranty end and contract status.

    Result: You can list the hospitals whose warranty has ended.

  4. Import of existing sheets

    Your quotation sheets and contact lists cleaned and moved in.

    Result: Past quotations are searchable by hospital and machine.

  5. Staff guidance

    A short guide on what each person records after a call or a visit.

    Result: Everyone records the same few things after a 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.

Fields worth keeping

The fields a long equipment sale needs in every record.

Machine and model quoted
Entered by the salesperson. It lets you see which machines draw quotations and which stall after the demonstration.
Roles on the buying side
Doctor, administrator, biomedical engineer, finance. Updated after each meeting, so you know whom the next call goes to.
Demonstration date and who attended
Filled by the application specialist. It starts the follow-up and shows who has seen the machine and who has not.
Installed machine, serial and warranty end
Entered by the service engineer at installation. It becomes the list for service contracts and replacement talks.
Lead source and principal handover
Chosen at entry. It settles whether an enquiry came from your site, a service visit or the principal company's office.

Who it is for

This is written for these medical equipment distributors.

  • Imaging equipment distributors for ultrasound, X-ray and CT
  • ICU, OT and anaesthesia equipment distributors
  • Patient monitoring and emergency equipment suppliers
  • Dental chair and clinic equipment dealers
  • Laboratory analyser and diagnostic instrument distributors
  • Physiotherapy and rehabilitation equipment suppliers
  • Refurbished and used medical equipment traders
  • Authorised distributors of a single international brand for a state

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your quotation history lives in loose sheets nobody will update, so a CRM would start empty and stay so.
  • Engineers are not asked to log service visits, and the installed base would be missing.
  • You want the record to replace the principal company's portal, which it will not do.

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.

Which CRM should we use?
Choose by how your team works. A spreadsheet may do for a small team, while a tool such as Zoho CRM or HubSpot suits a larger one. GullySales works with the tool you choose.
Will our engineers actually use it?
They will if recording takes a minute. Keep the service-visit fields short and let the engineer note a remark about a future purchase in a single line.
Can we keep the principal company's customer data in our CRM?
Check your distribution agreement first, because the principal may restrict how its leads are stored or shared. Keep your own enquiries and customers freely, and ask your adviser about anything handed over by the brand's office.
How do engineers add service visits without extra work?
Give them a short form on the phone with the hospital, machine serial and note. The reason is that engineers will not type long entries on site. One line per visit is enough to build the installed machine register.
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.
