Personal care brands · CRM
Keep one record for each outlet and each buyer, so a reorder never rests on memory.
A CRM for a personal care brand is the single record of every chemist, salon, distributor, hotel buyer and bulk enquirer, with what each took, when each last ordered and who is due a call. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habit of updating them around the way your brand actually sells.
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 personal care brands
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The distributor knows the chemist and you do not”
Stock moves to the distributor and the distributor's salesman places it. Your brand sees one large bill and no outlet names, so you cannot tell which chemists reorder and which put the bottles behind the cough syrups.
“The founder's phone is the database”
Salon owners, a hotel buyer and a gifting enquiry all sit in one WhatsApp list. When the founder travels, nobody else knows who asked for a sample or what price was quoted, and the follow-up waits until the founder is back.
“Trade and consumer enquiries are mixed in one sheet”
A marketplace shopper asking about a rash and a salon owner asking for a back-bar size need different answers from different people. One list makes both slow, so each gets its own stages and its own owner.
“Batch and expiry belong in the record”
When a buyer reports a reaction, you need to know which batch they received and which outlets hold the same one. Without that line in the record, the only safe reply is to ask every outlet, and the outlets learn of the problem from you last.
What we do
What we deliver for personal care brands.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A record for each outlet with the fields that matter
Name, area, type of outlet, who orders, the products taken, the last bill, the next call and the distributor that supplies it.
Result: Any team member can open an outlet and see its history.
Separate pipelines for chemists, salons, hotels and distributors
Each has its own stages, such as sample given, first order placed, reordered and lapsed, with a named owner at every stage.
Result: You see where each kind of buyer stops.
A due-for-reorder list built from the bills
Outlets and bulk buyers are listed by the date of the last order against their own ordering gap, so the call goes to the right outlet first.
Result: The call list is written from records and not from who the rep remembers.
A batch-linked complaint log
Every report of burning, rash or a leaking pack is logged with the batch, the outlet or listing, and the reply sent.
Result: A batch problem can be traced to the outlets that hold it.
A sample tracker
Who received a sample, at which event or visit, what was said afterwards and whether an order followed.
Result: You know which sampling spend became orders.
A rep visit note in a form the rep will fill
A few fields entered from a phone at the shop door, with the photograph of the shelf attached.
Result: Shelf position is recorded for each visit.
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.
