Water treatment solutions providers · Sales process

Turn more site surveys into signed installations, before a rival quotes.

A sales process for a water treatment company is the fixed set of steps from enquiry to signed installation. It covers how quickly a survey is scheduled, how the quote is presented, and how a hesitant buyer is followed up. GullySales writes it with the people who run the surveys, and gives you the record that shows where a quote went quiet.

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 water treatment solutions providers

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

  • “The survey needs to be scheduled within days, not weeks”

    A facility manager comparing several vendors moves ahead with whoever surveys and quotes first, making early scheduling one of the most decisive steps in the entire process.

  • “The quote should be followed up within a week”

    A commercial quote left with no scheduled follow-up often sits in an inbox until forgotten, especially when a committee needs to discuss it internally.

  • “Maintenance renewal needs its own step in the process”

    The sales process should not end at installation. A reminder and a renewal conversation scheduled well ahead of the contract's expiry protects recurring revenue.

What we do

What we deliver for water treatment solutions providers.

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

  1. Written sales process checklist

    A step-by-step checklist from enquiry to signed installation, covering the survey, the quote and the follow-up.

    Result: Existing staff can run the same process without relying on memory.

  2. Survey booking script

    A short script for confirming a site survey quickly on the first call, before a comparing buyer moves ahead with another vendor.

    Result: The buyer books a survey while their interest is still active.

  3. Written quote format with running cost

    A standard quote format showing upfront and running costs together, matched to what the buyer type actually decides on.

    Result: A buyer sees the full picture instead of just the installation price.

  4. Follow-up schedule for the comparison period

    A structured set of follow-up touchpoints for the period a commercial buyer typically takes to decide.

    Result: The enquiry stays warm instead of going quiet while a committee decides.

  5. Maintenance renewal step built into the process

    A defined point in the process for a renewal conversation ahead of a contract's expiry, so it never depends on someone remembering.

    Result: Recurring revenue does not depend on a customer calling first.

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

Take a water problem from the first call to an installed plant and a signed AMC in fixed steps.

Problem enquiry
Ask the water source, whether borewell, municipal, tanker or a mix, and what the user notices, such as hardness, smell or a PCB notice. Record the site type and the daily use in litres.
Water test
Test TDS, hardness, iron and pH on site, or send a sample to a lab for an ETP or STP job. Record the results on the enquiry, since the plant design depends on them.
Site survey
Check the space for the plant, the power supply, tank positions and drain points. Note who approves on site, such as the facility manager or the RWA committee.
Proposal with plant specification
Send the capacity, the technology such as RO, softener, UF or ETP, the membrane and pump brands, and the running cost of salt, chemicals and power. Record which items the buyer asked to change.
Order and commissioning
Confirm the advance, the civil work the customer must finish and the installation date. Record the commissioning test results alongside the original water report.
AMC signing
Offer the AMC at handover with what it covers: service visits, membrane and filter changes, chemicals. Record the start date and the renewal date in the AMC register.

Who it is for

This is written for these water treatment solutions providers.

  • Residential water purifier and softener dealers
  • Apartment and gated community water treatment providers
  • Industrial effluent treatment plant providers
  • Commercial RO plant suppliers
  • Borewell water treatment specialists
  • Hotel and hospitality water treatment providers
  • Swimming pool water treatment companies
  • Packaged drinking water plant manufacturers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • One technician does survey, installation and service, and a formal step list would only add paperwork for the same person.
  • Your quotes are written afresh each time with no common format, so a process cannot yet be taught.

How it works

How the sales process 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

    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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  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 · you are here

    Sales process design

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

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    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.

Tell us what you need
Can a small company run a formal process without extra staff?
Yes, as a short checklist attached to the enquiry and survey booking, not a separate system.
Does this apply to household sales too?
A lighter version does, mainly around quote follow-up, since household decisions usually move faster than commercial ones.
Should we quote before the water test results come in?
Only a broad range. The test decides the technology, the membrane and the pre-treatment, and a quote made without it may have to rise later. Tell the buyer when the results will be shared, and record on the enquiry that the first figure was a range.
In an apartment complex, who on the buyer's side should we be talking to?
Find out who signs, usually the RWA or managing committee, with the facility manager advising. A quote sent only to the facility manager can wait for a committee meeting nobody told you about. Record each person's role and ask when the committee next meets.
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.
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.
