Aquarium fish businesses · CRM
Keep a record of who keeps what, so a new batch reaches the right buyer.
A CRM for a fish business is a single record of each buyer, what they keep, what they asked for and when you last spoke. GullySales works on setting up a simple system that fits a shop counter and a breeder's phone.
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 aquarium fish businesses
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Memory does not scale past a few regulars”
A seller remembers a dozen collectors. Past that, a person who asked for a particular fish a month ago is forgotten and the pair goes to someone else.
“Contacts live across phones and chats”
Customers sit in the owner's phone, the staff's phone and several groups. When a staff member leaves, the relationships go with the handset.
“A tank customer returns for years”
A person who buys a tank, then plants, then fish, then maintenance is worth more than the first sale. Only a record of the history shows that.
“Wholesale accounts need different fields”
A shop buyer needs last order date, usual items and payment notes. A hobbyist needs interests and past purchases. One sheet for both becomes unusable.
What we do
What we deliver for aquarium fish businesses.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A simple contact record
Name, number, interests, source and last conversation for every buyer, in one place that the team shares.
Result: Every buyer has a record anyone on the team can read.
Separate views for hobbyists and trade
One view for hobbyists with their interests and one for shops with order dates and usual items.
Result: Trade accounts and hobbyists are listed apart.
Wish-list capture
A field for the fish a person is waiting for, so it is matched when stock arrives.
Result: You can list who is waiting for which fish.
A project pipeline
A short list of tank design and installation enquiries with stages from enquiry to visit to quote to install.
Result: Each project shows its stage.
Consent noting
A note of whether the person agreed to receive broadcast messages and on what channel.
Result: Each contact has consent recorded.
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
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.
