Elderly care NGOs · CRM

Keep every family, donor and volunteer in one record the whole home can read.

A CRM for an elderly care NGO is one place that holds enquiries from families, gifts and memorial dates from donors, and visits from volunteers. GullySales works on choosing a simple tool, setting the fields and teaching the staff to use it with care.

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 elderly care NGOs

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

  • “Records live in notebooks and four phones”

    The family's enquiry is in the manager's diary, the donor in the accountant's file and the volunteer on a WhatsApp group. When the manager is away nobody can answer, and nobody sees the whole relationship.

  • “A memorial date is the field that matters to a donor”

    A donor who gave in memory of a mother has a date that matters to them. A record that holds the name remembered, the date and the last message sent lets the home write one kind note at the right time.

  • “Sensitive information needs a careful hand”

    Health details of residents and family circumstances should not sit in a shared sheet. The CRM holds contact and relationship facts; care records stay with the people responsible for them.

  • “A donor who is also a volunteer is two people on paper”

    A retired teacher reads to residents and gives on an anniversary. Two lists mean two messages and a feeling of being unknown. One record shows the full relationship.

What we do

What we deliver for elderly care NGOs.

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

  1. Field design

    A short list of fields: who, how they came, what they asked, memorial name and date, and next step.

    Result: A field list the manager has approved, with nothing sensitive included.

  2. Tool selection and set-up

    A tool chosen for the home's size and budget, set up with the fields, views and access.

    Result: A working tool with each staff member's access set.

  3. Import of existing lists

    Notebooks, sheets and contact lists cleaned and brought into one record, duplicates marked.

    Result: One list with duplicates resolved by a person, not a machine.

  4. Staff and volunteer training

    A short session on entering a call, logging a gift and what must never be typed in.

    Result: A one-page rule on what goes in the CRM and what does not.

  5. Access and privacy rules

    Who may view, edit and export, and how a person is removed on request.

    Result: A written rule on access that the trustees have signed off.

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.

Can we keep resident medical details in the CRM?
We advise against it. Keep the CRM for contacts and relationships. Care records follow your own rules and your adviser's guidance on handling personal data.
Do we need paid software?
A free or low-cost tool may do for a small home. We compare the options with you and say what each handles and where it falls short.
Who should own the CRM?
One named staff member, with a trustee reviewing access. If it belongs to everyone it belongs to nobody, and the records go stale.
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.
