CNC turning companies · CRM
Keep every drawing, quote and trial lot in one record, not in three phones.
A CRM for a CNC turning company is one record of each buyer, drawing, quote, trial lot and repeat order, so the shop knows what is waiting on whom. GullySales sets up the fields, stages and ownership around how turned parts are actually sold.
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 CNC turning companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The unit of work is a drawing, not a contact”
One buyer sends several drawings, each with its own material, yearly quantity and quote. A CRM that stores only a name and a number loses what the shop needs. Record the drawing and link it to the buyer.
“Stages follow the trial lot”
The real stages are drawing received, quote sent, sample lot ordered, inspection result, yearly order and call-off. Generic stages such as qualified lead and proposal say little about where a lathe shop's deals stall.
“Dated bar rates belong in the record”
A quote carries the material rate of its day. When the buyer returns, the record shows that date, so reopening a quote is a plain update to the rate and not a dispute about memory.
“A tool the shop floor will not open is no tool”
If the owner enters data late in the evening from memory, the record is thin. A simple sheet or a light CRM that the quote person and the dispatch person both update beats a heavy system left unused.
What we do
What we deliver for CNC turning companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A record layout for buyer, drawing and quote
Fields for the buyer, contacts, drawing number, material, yearly quantity, tolerance and quote value, linked so one buyer shows all drawings.
Result: Open the buyer and see every drawing sent.
A stage list from drawing to call-off
Stages that match the trial lot path, with the next action and date required at each.
Result: Every drawing shows where it is stuck.
A dated quote history
Each quote saved with its bar rate and date, and a rule for reopening it with a new rate.
Result: An old quote is revised without argument.
A named owner for each drawing
A rule that one person holds each drawing from receipt to first quote, with the owner as the fallback.
Result: No drawing sits with nobody.
Past quotes and invoices imported
Old enquiries and invoices loaded in, so buyers who ordered once and stopped can be seen and contacted.
Result: Lapsed buyers appear in a list.
A view of machine hours by buyer
The share of lathe time taken by each account, kept beside the pipeline.
Result: You see the dependence on your largest buyer in numbers you recorded.
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.
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.
