Animal welfare NGOs · CRM

Keep one record for every person who has ever helped an animal.

A CRM for an animal welfare NGO is a shared record of donors, adopters, fosters, feeders and partners, with what each did and what they were told. GullySales sets up the simplest tool your volunteers will really use and the habits that keep it current.

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 animal welfare NGOs

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

  • “Rescue work scatters people across chats”

    Finders, donors and fosters sit in personal phones, group chats and notebooks. When a volunteer leaves, the history leaves too. A shared record is the group's memory, whoever is active this year.

  • “One person can be several things”

    A donor may also be a foster, and an adopter may later sponsor. A record organised only by rescue case misses this, so a person entry should list every way they have helped.

  • “A shelter with few staff needs a light tool”

    A heavy system with dozens of fields is abandoned within weeks. A spreadsheet with a few columns that every volunteer understands beats a platform nobody has time to learn.

  • “Privacy matters because the data is personal”

    Phone numbers, addresses and donation notes are personal information. Decide who can see the record, keep it off public groups and agree what to do when a person asks to be removed.

What we do

What we deliver for animal welfare NGOs.

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

  1. A person record designed for rescue work

    Name, phone, ways they helped, animals linked, last contact and next step, in a sheet or a simple CRM.

    Result: Anyone can open a person's line and see their full history.

  2. An import of what you already hold

    Names and numbers from chats, payment notes and adoption forms, merged so each person appears once.

    Result: A single list replaces scattered notebooks and phones.

  3. A short guide for volunteers

    What to enter, when, and what never to put in a public group, written in two pages.

    Result: New volunteers can keep the record without training.

  4. Segments you can message

    Past donors, current sponsors, fosters, adopters and society contacts, each easy to select.

    Result: The next appeal goes to the right group, not to everyone.

  5. An access and removal note

    Who can open the record, how it is backed up and how a person is removed on request.

    Result: The group has a plain answer if a donor asks how their details are kept.

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

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

    Map the sales process

    We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.

  2. 2

    Configure stages and fields

    The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    Set up automations

    Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.

  4. 4

    Test with real deals

    We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.

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.

Is a spreadsheet good enough?
For a small group, yes. A sheet with clear columns and one owner works well. We move to a CRM tool when volunteers need reminders or several people edit at once, and we pick one in ordinary use in India.
Do we need donors' permission to keep their details?
Tell people their details are kept and how they will be used, and respect a request to stop. Data rules apply to personal information, so check with your own adviser how they apply to your group.
What if volunteers will not update it?
Make the update a one-minute step tied to something they already do, such as closing a case. We shape the form around the habits of your volunteers, because a perfect record nobody fills is no use.
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.
