Disability support NGOs · CRM

Keep one record of every family, employer and funder, and the next step against each.

A CRM for a disability support NGO is a shared record of the people who contact the centre, with a note of what they asked and what happens next. GullySales sets one up around the waiting list, the employer contacts and the funder conversations.

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 disability support NGOs

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

  • “The waiting list lives in a notebook”

    A centre with limited therapist time keeps a list on paper or in a personal phone. When the staff member is away, nobody knows who is next or who has been told to wait.

  • “Sensitive information needs careful handling”

    Records of a child's condition or a family's circumstances are private. Who can see them, where they are stored and how long they are kept must be decided before the first entry is made.

  • “Employers and funders are lost between meetings”

    A company officer showed interest after an event, and nobody followed up. A funder asked for a note, and it went out late. Without a record of each contact, the relationship depends on one person's memory.

  • “Families move through stages that staff need to see”

    Enquiry, assessment, waiting, admission, and sometimes a request for a referral elsewhere. Staff who cannot see the stage cannot answer a worried parent's call with confidence.

What we do

What we deliver for disability support NGOs.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. A simple record for every contact

    Name, who they are, how they came, the need and the next step, with an owner against each.

    Result: No enquiry is left without a named person responsible.

  2. A waiting list with order and reasons

    A shared list showing position, date of enquiry and notes on what the family was told.

    Result: Any staff member can answer a call about the list.

  3. Access rules for private data

    A written note of who sees what, with the minimum of health detail recorded.

    Result: Sensitive information is limited to those who need it.

  4. An employer and funder pipeline

    A separate view of companies and funders, with the last contact and the promised next action.

    Result: Partner conversations are followed up on time.

  5. Choosing a tool

    A review of what the team will actually use, whether a spreadsheet or a simple CRM, before any purchase.

    Result: The tool chosen matches the staff's habits and budget.

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.

Fields worth keeping

Fields a disability support centre needs, and who fills them.

Contact person and relationship
The name and who they are to the client. Filled at intake, and used so staff speak to the right person without asking again.
Language and way to reach
Language, call or message, and the best time of day. Filled by the front desk, and it decides who on staff makes the call.
Programme requested and stage
Enquiry, assessment booked, waiting, admitted or referred elsewhere. Kept by the intake coordinator, and lets the centre see the waiting list at a glance.
Consent record
What the family agreed to regarding images, stories and messages, and the date. Filled by the person who took consent, and checked before any post or campaign.
Employer and funder contacts
Name, role and the last conversation. Kept by the placement or fundraising officer, so nobody is contacted twice with different messages.

Who it is for

This is written for these disability support NGOs.

  • Early intervention and therapy centres for children
  • Special schools and learning support centres
  • Vocational training and sheltered workshops
  • Inclusive employment and placement organisations
  • Assistive device and prosthetic fitting charities
  • Organisations for the blind, deaf and hard of hearing
  • Autism, cerebral palsy and intellectual disability associations
  • Rehabilitation and community-based support programmes

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have a short waiting list that one coordinator tracks well, and a new system would add forms that families must wait through
  • There is no one to decide who may see clinical or personal detail, and the first job would be a written rule on access

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

CRM for disability support NGOs: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

List the records your team uses and show how an enquiry becomes an order today. Bring examples of duplicate entries, missing owners, and reports that require manual correction.

Make the scope clear

Agree the stages, required fields, access roles, and integrations before configuring the system. Separate software subscriptions from setup, data work, and training.

Check the work in use

Ask the people who will use the CRM to complete a real handover and find the next action without help. Check that the management report can be traced back to individual records.

Know when to change course

If the process is unclear, buying a more complex CRM adds more places for confusion. Start with the minimum fields and rules the team can use consistently.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

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

    Sales journey agreement

    Your sales lead explains how an enquiry becomes an order, using open deals as examples. We agree which steps belong in the CRM and identify decisions needing your approval.

  2. 2

    Configuration approval

    You approve stage definitions, required fields, ownership rules, and access. Unresolved choices are settled before configuration starts.

  3. 3

    Test environment decision

    We confirm whether your plan provides a trial copy or separate pipeline. Where neither is available, changes to the live system need an agreed approach before work proceeds.

  4. 4

    Connection and rule checks

    Enquiry connections are checked before automations are activated separately. Your nominated owner verifies where records arrive and which person receives each task.

  5. 5

    Sales team acceptance

    The people handling enquiries test open deals from entry through closure. Required corrections are resolved before you approve the switch.

  6. 6

    Switch and ownership handover

    The agreed configuration goes into use, and your CRM owner receives the final record. Any post-switch corrections included in the scope are documented before handover closes.

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
Is a spreadsheet enough to begin with?
For a small centre, a well-kept shared sheet can do. Move to a CRM when more than a few people update it or when reminders are missed. Choose the tool the staff will open every day.
How do we handle data protection?
Record only what the work needs, limit who can open it and keep it in a place the centre controls. Rules on personal data and on health information change, so check with your own adviser before setting the policy.
Should clinical notes live in the CRM?
No. Keep clinical notes in the centre's clinical record under its own access rules, and keep the CRM for contact, stage and consent. A marketing tool open to every staff member is the wrong place for health detail. Ask a data protection adviser to check the split.
Who should be able to see the consent record?
Everyone who prepares a post, a message or a report should be able to check consent, and only them. Keep the record short: what was agreed, by whom and when. Give the centre a way to mark consent withdrawn that every staff member sees.
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.
