Sports associations · CRM

Keep every player, club and sponsor in one list that outlasts the committee.

A CRM for a sports association is the single record of players, clubs, coaches, umpires and sponsors, with the history of each contact. GullySales works on the list's columns, the stages 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 sports associations

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

  • “The list lives in the secretary's phone”

    Names, dates and sponsor promises sit in one person's contacts and notebooks. When the office-bearer changes, the new one starts without a single number or a single note of who agreed what.

  • “A player is also a parent, a club and a sponsor's customer”

    The same family appears as a junior entrant, a spectator and a customer of the dealer who backs the cup. A record that links these shows who is connected to whom.

  • “Fee status is not visible”

    The treasurer knows who paid, the draw committee does not. A single status column, kept current, lets the draw, the fixtures and the receipts all read from the same truth.

  • “Sponsor history disappears”

    Last year's sponsor promised a trophy and a banner. Nobody wrote down what was delivered, so the renewal call opens with an apology instead of a report.

What we do

What we deliver for sports associations.

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

  1. A single sheet with defined columns

    Name, role, club, age group, phone, consent, fee status and source in fixed columns.

    Result: Anyone on the committee can find a person in the same place.

  2. Stages for each audience

    Enquired, entered, paid and played for players; approached, proposal sent, confirmed and reported for sponsors.

    Result: You can see where each person has reached.

  3. A sponsor history log

    What was promised, what was delivered and who said what, kept against the sponsor's name.

    Result: The renewal call starts from the record.

  4. A handover note

    A one-page guide for the next office-bearer on where the list lives, who may edit and how it is backed up.

    Result: A new committee takes over a working list.

  5. Consent and age proof flags

    A column for guardian consent and for age proof checked, without storing the documents in the sheet.

    Result: The draw is made only from verified entries.

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.

Do we need paid software?
Not at the start. A shared sheet with fixed columns serves a district league. Move to a CRM tool when several people update it at once; GullySales can help you choose one in ordinary use in India.
How do we protect players' personal details?
Share the list with named office-bearers only, store age proof documents separately and collect only what the entry needs. Check data-handling rules with your own adviser.
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.
