Metal forging companies · CRM
Keep every drawing, quote and trial lot in one record the sales desk can open.
A CRM for a forge is a shared record of buyers, drawings, quotes, trial lots and standing orders, so the history of a part does not live in one person's phone. GullySales works on the fields, the stages and the habit of entering each enquiry.
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 metal forging companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A die quote has a long history”
A drawing arrives, a die quote goes out, the buyer revises the allowance, a trial lot is forged and a schedule follows. In a notebook or a chat, that history leaves with the person who held it. A shared record keeps it for the next person at the desk.
“The fields should be forging fields”
A general CRM asks for deal value and close date. A forge needs grade, finished weight, yearly quantity, die status, allowance and certificate type. Fields named in the forge's own language are the ones the desk will fill in.
“Concentration shows on the screen”
When a few auto and bearing customers account for the tonnage, a record that groups orders by buyer and sector shows the dependence without a separate report. The owner sees where the next warm buyer should come from.
“The tool matters less than the habit”
A spreadsheet is a fair start. Zoho CRM and HubSpot are in ordinary use in India once enquiries outgrow it. The choice follows the number of people who enter data and who reads it, not the brand name.
What we do
What we deliver for metal forging companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A field list for forging enquiries
The fields for drawing, grade, finished weight, yearly quantity, die status, allowance, certificate type and source.
Result: A sheet or form with the same fields for every enquiry.
Stages from drawing to standing order
Stages such as drawing received, die quote sent, die approved, trial lot, certificate accepted and standing order.
Result: Every open enquiry sits at one named stage.
A buyer record for each plant
Each buyer gets a record with contacts by role, parts bought, die ownership terms and past rejections.
Result: A new person at the desk can read the account in one place.
Set-up and import of old quotes
Past quotes and orders moved into the record, so history is not lost at the start.
Result: The old enquiries appear under their buyers.
A one-page entry rule
A short written rule on who enters what, when an enquiry is closed and what counts as lost.
Result: The team follows the same rule on every enquiry.
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.
