Pump manufacturers · CRM

Keep every duty-point enquiry, quotation and dealer visit in one record.

A CRM for a pump manufacturer is the single record of enquiries, quotations, dealers and installed pumps, so nothing depends on one engineer's memory or phone. GullySales works on setting up the fields, the stages and the habits that make the record true.

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 pump manufacturers

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

  • “The duty point lives in a chat, not in a record”

    Flow, head, fluid and site arrive on WhatsApp and in email. When the engineer who received them is on leave, the next person starts from nothing and asks the buyer again.

  • “Quotations go out and are not chased”

    A priced offer is sent and nobody is assigned to ask what happened. Without a record of what was quoted, to whom and when, silent quotes cannot be separated from lost ones.

  • “Dealer performance is judged by feeling”

    Which dealers stock your range, which have gone quiet and which orders came through whom is known only to the regional manager. When that person moves, the knowledge goes too.

  • “The installed base is not recorded at all”

    A pump supplied years ago is a future order for spares, seals or a replacement. If the dispatch record does not link to a named plant contact, the order goes to whoever calls first.

What we do

What we deliver for pump manufacturers.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. Fields built around pump enquiries

    A record that holds fluid, flow, head, material, standard, site and contact, so a quotation can be prepared from it.

    Result: A new engineer can quote from the record without calling the buyer.

  2. Stages that match your sales route

    Separate stages for dealer orders, tenders and plant enquiries, each with its own steps and its own owner.

    Result: Each enquiry sits at a stage that someone is responsible for.

  3. A dealer register

    Each dealer with district, ranges stocked, last visit, last order and open concerns.

    Result: The sales head can list dealers who have not ordered since the last season.

  4. An installed-base list

    Plants and models supplied, linked from dispatch records to a contact and a service history.

    Result: A call for spares can start from the pump the plant owns.

  5. Team habits and a short guide

    A one-page guide on what to record, when and by whom, with a check on whether the record is being kept.

    Result: Open quotations carry a date, an owner and a next step.

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.

Fields worth keeping

The enquiry and quotation fields that matter to a pump maker.

Flow, head, fluid and temperature
The sales engineer fills these from the enquiry. They let anyone pick up the quotation if the engineer is away, and they build a record of what buyers actually need.
Pump family and model quoted
Filled when the quotation is sent. It shows which families turn into orders and which are quoted but never bought.
Buyer route: dealer, consultant, EPC, plant
Filled at the first contact. The route decides the follow-up and tells you where your orders actually come from.
Quotation date and validity
Filled by the person sending it. It prompts a call before the quote lapses, rather than after the buyer has bought elsewhere.
Competing make, if known
Filled when the buyer mentions it. Over time it shows which makes you lose to, in which families and on what ground.
Installed pump and its service dates
Filled after supply. A seal or bearing change due later gives you a reason to call, and the record outlasts any one salesperson.

Who it is for

This is written for these pump manufacturers.

  • Agricultural submersible and openwell pumpset makers selling through dealers
  • Domestic and monoblock pump makers for homes, apartments and small commercial buildings
  • Centrifugal and end-suction pump makers for industrial and process plants
  • Multistage and boiler feed pump makers
  • Effluent, sewage and slurry pump makers
  • Fire-fighting pump set makers supplying to fire contractors
  • Dosing, metering and chemical process pump makers
  • Pump makers with a repair, overhaul and spares business beside new supply

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The sales team keeps duty points in personal notebooks and will not enter them in any shared place.
  • You handle a few enquiries each month, and a sheet already tracks them without gaps.
  • You want the CRM to run production planning, which is a different system.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

CRM for pump manufacturers: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

List the records your team uses and show how an enquiry becomes an order today. Bring examples of duplicate entries, missing owners, and reports that require manual correction.

Make the scope clear

Agree the stages, required fields, access roles, and integrations before configuring the system. Separate software subscriptions from setup, data work, and training.

Check the work in use

Ask the people who will use the CRM to complete a real handover and find the next action without help. Check that the management report can be traced back to individual records.

Know when to change course

If the process is unclear, buying a more complex CRM adds more places for confusion. Start with the minimum fields and rules the team can use consistently.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Sales journey agreement

    Your sales lead explains how an enquiry becomes an order, using open deals as examples. We agree which steps belong in the CRM and identify decisions needing your approval.

  2. 2

    Configuration approval

    You approve stage definitions, required fields, ownership rules, and access. Unresolved choices are settled before configuration starts.

  3. 3

    Test environment decision

    We confirm whether your plan provides a trial copy or separate pipeline. Where neither is available, changes to the live system need an agreed approach before work proceeds.

  4. 4

    Connection and rule checks

    Enquiry connections are checked before automations are activated separately. Your nominated owner verifies where records arrive and which person receives each task.

  5. 5

    Sales team acceptance

    The people handling enquiries test open deals from entry through closure. Required corrections are resolved before you approve the switch.

  6. 6

    Switch and ownership handover

    The agreed configuration goes into use, and your CRM owner receives the final record. Any post-switch corrections included in the scope are documented before handover closes.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which CRM tool should a pump maker use?
The one your team will fill in. A plain, affordable tool used every day beats a large one left empty. We choose by how many people quote, how many dealers you manage and whether your accounts software connects.
Will salespeople actually use it?
Only if it saves them work. We keep the fields few, let WhatsApp enquiries be logged easily and show the sales head what the record reveals. A record nobody reads soon stops being kept.
How do we judge a dealer's performance in the CRM?
Record the orders and enquiries each dealer brings, the stock they hold and the complaints they pass on. A feeling that a dealer is strong may not match the record. Review the pattern with the dealer, and treat a dealer who sells little as one to support before replacing.
What happens to the installed base list when a plant changes hands?
Note the date the contact changed and ask the new maintenance head about the pump in a short call. The old record stays useful because the pump is still running. A change of owner is also a reason to offer a service visit.
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.
