Oil and gas service companies · Sales process

Qualify the scope before you spend a week on the offer.

A sales process for an oil and gas service company is the sequence from the first RFQ or call to a signed work order and the next job: qualifying the scope, visiting the site, building the offer, following up and handing over to operations. GullySales writes the steps down with you and builds the records they need.

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

What sales process means

A sales process is the fixed sequence of steps, such as enquiry, site visit, quote and order, that every deal is expected to pass through in the same order. GullySales writes this sequence down for your business and checks that every salesperson actually follows it.

For oil and gas service companies

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

  • “Offers are written before the scope is clear”

    A team spends days on a technical offer and then learns the drawings were not final, the dates had moved or the plant had already chosen a contractor.

  • “The site visit is skipped or unrecorded”

    A scope that was never walked is priced on assumption, and the gaps appear on the first day of the shutdown at your cost.

  • “After the offer nothing happens”

    The planner says he will revert, the owner waits, and the follow-up is left to hope. By the time anyone calls, the work has been awarded.

What we do

What we deliver for oil and gas service companies.

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

  1. A written qualification checklist

    Questions to ask before an offer: scope, drawings, dates, who approves, payment terms, safety requirements and who else is bidding.

    Result: Offers go only to scopes you can win and deliver.

  2. A site visit record

    A sheet filled during the walk: access, hazards, permits, the client's own supplies, photographs where allowed and what the plant will provide.

    Result: The price reflects the site, not a guess.

  3. An offer template with fixed sections

    A standard structure for scope, assumptions, exclusions, crew, equipment, safety and commercial terms, filled for each job.

    Result: Offers read clearly and nothing is left out.

  4. A follow-up schedule after the offer

    Dates and a named person for each call after an offer goes out, with the questions to ask and a place to record the answer.

    Result: An offer is chased while the decision is open.

  5. A handover note to operations

    A one-page summary of what was agreed, the crew needed, the permits and the dates, passed to the site supervisor before mobilisation.

    Result: The team starts work knowing what was promised.

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 from an RFQ to a work order in an oil and gas service firm, and what to record at each.

RFQ received
Log the buyer, plant, scope, last date and drawings supplied. Acknowledge the same day in writing, and say who is handling it.
Qualify the scope
Ask what is final, who approves, when work starts and who else is invited. Record the answers. If the scope or the dates are unclear, go back to the planner before writing anything.
Site visit
Walk the job with the planner or site engineer. Record access, permits, utilities, safety rules, what the plant supplies and anything that changes the crew or equipment.
Offer and clarifications
Send the offer with assumptions and exclusions written out. Record each clarification the buyer asks and each answer you give, because they shape the final price.
Follow-up and negotiation
Set the next call when you send the offer. Record the planner's objections in his words, and who else has to approve before an order can be placed.
Order and handover
On receipt of the work order, check it against the offer, note any difference and pass the summary to operations. Ask the client for a completion letter at the end.

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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
When should we decline an RFQ?
When the scope is unclear and the planner will not clarify, when the date cannot be met with certified crews, or when payment terms put your cash at risk. A declined RFQ with a polite reason keeps you on the list.
How do we deal with a buyer who only wants the lowest price?
Write your assumptions and exclusions clearly so your price can be compared honestly. If the buyer sees only the figure, decide before bidding whether that account is worth the margin. Do not quote low and recover it in changes.
Who should attend the site visit?
Someone who can read the scope and someone who knows the safety and equipment side. For a larger job, send the estimator and the site supervisor together, so the person who will run the work has seen the place.
Should we send a sample offer to new buyers?
Yes, an anonymised one. It shows how you structure scope and assumptions, and it answers a planner's silent question about whether you understand a shutdown. Leave out client names and rates.
Do we need a website if our work comes through vendor registration?
Yes, because every buyer checks it. A procurement officer who has your registration file will still open your site to see certificates, equipment and past work. A thin site makes a good file look doubtful.
Can you get us onto an operator's vendor list?
No firm can promise a listing, because the operator decides. We prepare a complete, current file and keep track of each registration and renewal, so the application is not the reason you are left out.
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.
