Heavy equipment and forklift dealers · CRM

Keep the machine, the serial number and the quote on one customer record.

A CRM for an equipment dealership holds the customer, the machines that customer owns, the open quotes and the service history in one place that a salesman and a service writer both read. GullySales sets it up around your dealer system rather than against it, and agrees who may change what.

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 heavy equipment and forklift dealers

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

  • “The dealer system holds the invoice, not the relationship”

    Your DMS was built for parts, work orders and accounting. The contractor's next job, the lender the contractor prefers and the model the contractor wants when the lease ends sit in a salesman's phone and nowhere else.

  • “One customer, several people, several machines”

    A contractor may have an owner, a fleet manager and three operators, with a purchased loader, a rental excavator and a forklift on lease. Without a record linking them, each department treats the same contractor as a stranger.

  • “Sales, rental, parts and service keep separate lists”

    The contractor on the rental desk is a prospect for the sales floor and an owner for the shop. When each department keeps its own list, nobody makes the call that joins them.

  • “A salesman who leaves takes the book with the phone”

    Contacts, quote history and the promises made sit on a personal device. A record the dealership owns keeps the relationship when the salesman moves to a competitor across town.

What we do

What we deliver for heavy equipment and forklift dealers.

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

  1. Fields chosen for equipment

    Serial number, hour meter, model, lease end date, finance partner, trade-in and the listing or campaign an enquiry came from, rather than the generic fields a CRM arrives with.

    Result: Every record can answer what the customer owns and how it was found.

  2. Pipeline stages that match how a machine is sold

    Enquiry, availability confirmed, demonstration, quote, finance, delivery, and lost with a reason, with the stage defined so two salesmen mean the same thing.

    Result: The pipeline report matches what is on the lot.

  3. A link to the DMS

    Customers, machines and service history brought across from the dealer system by an agreed export or connection, so nobody types the same serial number twice.

    Result: The record carries service history without double entry.

  4. Duplicates found and merged

    One contractor entered three times under three spellings, brought into a single record with the quote and work order history kept.

    Result: A campaign no longer reaches the same contractor repeatedly.

  5. Ownership and access rules

    A written rule for who owns an account, who may edit it and what happens to it when a salesman leaves.

    Result: Accounts stay with the dealership.

  6. A way for the shop to pass leads to sales

    A short form at the service counter noting an ageing machine, an attachment question or a contractor mentioning another job.

    Result: Service visits produce sales calls instead of staying invisible.

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.

    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.

  • Hours that fit your day, agreed up front

    Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.

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 DMS?
No. The DMS keeps doing parts, work orders and accounting. The CRM sits beside it and carries the relationship. We connect the two or agree an export, and your dealer system vendor tells us what it allows.
Which CRM should a dealership use?
The one your team will open every day. HubSpot and Zoho CRM both suit a single-location dealer, and some manufacturers require their own system. We start with what you already pay for and what your manufacturer asks, then recommend.
Who keeps the records up to date?
The person who touches the customer, at the moment they do. We keep the fields few enough that this is possible, and we check the records and tidy them. A CRM only the manager fills in gets abandoned.
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.
