Building and construction material manufacturers · Sales process

A sale in this trade is won in the quotation, and lost in the gap before the call-back.

A sales process for a building material manufacturer is the set of steps from the first enquiry to the delivered truck, with a person and a record at each. GullySales writes the steps in your plant's own words and fits them to the team you have.

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

For building and construction material manufacturers

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

  • “The quotation is a number on a page”

    It carries a rate and nothing about the grade, the freight or when the truck leaves.

  • “Nobody owns the call-back”

    The sales manager thinks the rep will ring. The rep thinks the buyer will. The order goes elsewhere.

  • “Delivery is not part of the sale”

    The order is won and the dispatch team learns the site has no road for a truck.

What we do

What we deliver for building and construction material manufacturers.

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

  1. The steps written in plant language

    Enquiry, qualification, site visit or sample, quotation, call-back, order, dispatch and payment, each with a named person.

    Result: Everyone knows their step.

  2. A qualification checklist

    The questions to ask on the first call: product, quantity, site, date, who decides and how the payment will be made.

    Result: The team stops chasing orders that cannot be supplied.

  3. A quotation template with delivery in it

    Rate, GST, freight, unloading, credit terms, validity, lead time and the test certificate attached.

    Result: The buyer sees what he is buying.

  4. A call-back calendar

    A date for each open quotation, a list for each day and a rule for what is said on the call.

    Result: No quotation goes cold by accident.

  5. A handover note to dispatch

    A single page with the product, quantity, site access, unloading arrangement and payment terms, passed when the order is confirmed.

    Result: Delivery matches what was promised.

  6. A review of won and lost quotations

    A short look at the register with the reasons, so the process changes where orders are lost.

    Result: The sales team learns from its own record.

How the result is measured

  • Deals following the process
  • Time spent at each step
  • Drop-off rate by step

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Steps of a sale

The steps of a sale in a building material business, as the trade says them, and what to record in each.

Enquiry
Take the product, quantity, site town and date needed, and who is asking. Log it before the call ends and tell the caller when the quotation will reach him.
Qualify
Check the site is inside your delivery area, the quantity suits a truck, the site has road access and the buyer is the person who decides. Ask how the payment is to be made.
Sample, site visit or plant visit
Offer a sample or a visit to a comparable site for larger orders. Record who came and what he asked. An engineer who sees the product usually has a specific question to answer.
Quotation
Send it in the standard format with the specification, rate, GST, freight, unloading and validity, and the test certificate. Ring to confirm it was received and set the call-back date.
Follow-up and negotiation
Ring on the date you gave. Ask what the buyer compared against. Record the rival's terms if he shares them, and the reason if the order goes elsewhere.
Order and handover to dispatch
Confirm the order in writing, with the quantity, rate, delivery date, site contact and payment terms. Pass a one-page note to dispatch, and ring the buyer after the first delivery.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

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

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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 sales process work runs

  1. 1

    Study current deal flow

    We trace how deals actually move today, comparing across reps and outcomes.

  2. 2

    Define the stages

    Clear stages and criteria are designed to match how deals genuinely progress and close.

  3. 3

    Configure the CRM

    The process is built into your CRM so it is enforced structurally, not just documented.

  4. 4

    Train the team

    Reps are trained on the new process and why each stage exists.

  5. 5

    Review adoption

    We check after rollout whether the process is being followed and adjust where it is not.

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.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Who should do which step?
A telesales or office person can log and qualify. A field executive handles visits and samples. The owner or sales head negotiates large quotations. Write the names against each step so a lead does not wait between two desks.
When should we quote?
When you know the product, grade, quantity, site and date. A rate given before that is a guess that either loses the order or loses money. If the buyer insists on a number first, give a band and say what moves it.
How do we deal with a buyer who only asks the cheapest rate?
Ask what he is comparing against, and put the two specifications side by side. If the rival left out freight or a grade, show it politely. If the buyer still wants the cheapest, you can let that order go.
What should we write down at each step?
The date, the person, what was said or sent and the next date. For a lost order, add the reason. Keep it brief enough that a rep can do it in a minute, or it will not be done.
Everyone asks for the rate on the phone. What do we say?
Give the rate with what it covers: grade, size, GST, freight, unloading and the minimum quantity. A caller who hears one number compares it with a rate that left things out. Naming what is included is what keeps you in the comparison.
Should we sell direct to builders or only through dealers?
That depends on your channel agreements and your plant. Many manufacturers serve large projects directly and everything smaller through dealers. Decide a rule, tell your dealers, and record which enquiries went where, so nobody feels undercut.
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.
