Yoga ashrams · CRM

Keep one record for each guest from first enquiry to the day they return.

A CRM for a yoga ashram is a single record of every person who has enquired, booked, stayed or studied, with what they asked and what was agreed. GullySales works on setting it up so a volunteer who was away is not the only person who knows.

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 yoga ashrams

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

  • “Enquiries live in one person's inbox”

    When the reply depends on whoever is on duty, a guest's message waits for their return. A shared record lets anyone pick up the thread without asking.

  • “Guests are not one list”

    A day visitor, a six-week resident, a teacher training candidate and a donor each need different messages. One mixed list sends the wrong note to someone who only wanted an evening class.

  • “Consent needs to be on the record”

    Who agreed to hear from the ashram, and about what, must be recorded where the team can see it. A message sent without it is a poor way to treat a guest who trusted the place.

  • “Seasons repeat and memory fades”

    The team forgets which course a guest took and which year. A record that holds the course, the year and any dietary or room need lets the ashram greet a returning guest properly.

What we do

What we deliver for yoga ashrams.

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

  1. A simple record structure

    Name, country, enquiry, dates, programme, status, source and consent, set up in a tool the office already uses.

    Result: Every guest has a single place where their record sits.

  2. Stages for the booking path

    Enquiry, reply sent, advance asked, advance received, confirmed, arrived, departed, each with a clear meaning.

    Result: Anyone can see where a booking stands.

  3. An import of past records

    Existing lists from emails and registers cleaned and loaded, with consent marked where it is known.

    Result: Past guests are in one place, with unknown consent marked.

  4. Roles for who may see what

    Rules for which volunteers see personal details, passport information and health notes, agreed with the ashram.

    Result: Sensitive details are visible only to those who need them.

  5. A short guide for the office team

    A plain page on how to log an enquiry, update a stage and note a conversation.

    Result: A new volunteer can follow it on the first day.

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.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM should an ashram use?
The one the office will actually open. A simple shared sheet or a light tool is better than a large system nobody updates. We pick with the team after looking at how they work.
Is it safe to hold passport details?
Hold only what the ashram needs, restrict who can see it and delete what is not required. Rules on holding personal data vary, so check with your own adviser.
Can volunteers use it?
Yes, with limited access. Volunteers see what they need to answer enquiries and nothing more. The ashram names the person responsible for the record.
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.
