Agricultural seed companies · CRM
Keep every dealer, field day name and complaint where the next season can find it.
A CRM for a seed company is one record of every dealer, distributor, farmer enquiry and complaint, with the person in your team who owns each. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habits so the record is still alive when the next sowing window opens.
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 agricultural seed companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The relationship lives in one representative's phone”
When that person changes territory, the dealer list leaves with them. A record held by the company keeps the dealer, the history and the next call, whoever visits. Decide at the start who owns each dealer, and write a handover step into the role.
“Season needs its own stages”
A dealer moves from first contact to sample, to reservation, to stock received, to sell-through, to return. Generic sales stages hide the point where a shelf was lost. Name the stages in your own words, so the field team recognises them from daily work.
“A farmer and a dealer are different records”
A farmer enquiry belongs to a village and a crop. A dealer belongs to a district and an account with stock. Mixing them makes both lists useless. Give each its own list, and link a farmer enquiry to the dealer who received it.
“Complaints need a lot number”
A germination complaint without a lot, a dealer and a village cannot be traced. Make those fields required, because the team will not add them later from memory. A lot number on the record lets you see whether several complaints belong to the same batch.
What we do
What we deliver for agricultural seed companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Dealer and distributor register
One list with district, shop name, licence status, hybrids stocked, credit terms and the owner in your team.
Result: Sort by district and see who has not been called.
Season pipeline stages
Stages from first approach to sell-through and return, set to your sowing calendar.
Result: Each dealer sits in one stage at any time.
Farmer enquiry log
Name, village, crop, language and the dealer the enquiry was passed to, with a mark when the dealer confirmed.
Result: Every enquiry has an outcome beside it.
Complaint register
Lot number, dealer, village, crop and what was done, each case closed by a named person.
Result: Complaints can be filtered by lot.
Reminders and ownership rules
A short rule for who calls whom after a visit, an enquiry or a complaint.
Result: No record is left without a next step.
Team training and import
Existing sheets cleaned and loaded, and the team shown how to log a visit from a phone.
Result: The field team enters visits in the field.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries logged in the CRM

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
Map the sales process
We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.
- 2
Configure stages and fields
The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.
- 3
Set up automations
Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.
- 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.
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.
Step 2
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
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.
