Casting agencies · CRM

Keep every producer, every project and every performer on record.

A CRM for a casting agency is the record of who hired you, for what, and which performers you called. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habit of updating them, in a tool already in ordinary use in India.

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 casting agencies

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

  • “The producer's memory sits in one person's phone”

    If the casting director leaves or is on set, nobody knows which line producer asked for what last time. A shared record of contacts, projects and preferences keeps the relationship with the agency and not with a single phone.

  • “Two records are needed, buyers and talent”

    A buyer record tracks projects, shortlists and bookings. A talent record tracks type, language, availability, consent and last update. Mixing them into one sheet makes both unreliable.

  • “A stale pool wastes the call”

    Ringing performers whose numbers changed or who moved cities loses an afternoon at the moment a producer is waiting. A last-updated date on each entry shows which ones to confirm before a project starts.

  • “A shortlist is a stage, not an end”

    A producer who received a shortlist and went quiet is not a lost client. Recording the shortlist, the reply and the next step shows which projects need a follow-up and which are finished.

What we do

What we deliver for casting agencies.

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

  1. A buyer record

    Fields for production house, contact role, projects, languages, shortlists sent and outcome.

    Result: Each producer shows every project you have worked on together.

  2. A talent record with consent

    Fields for type, age range, language, availability, consent, guardian details for a minor and last update.

    Result: Each entry shows consent and the date it was last updated.

  3. Project stages

    A pipeline from announced, introduced, briefed, shortlist sent, booked to wrapped.

    Result: Every live project sits in one stage.

  4. A pool refresh list

    A view of entries not updated for a set period, so the team can confirm details before a project.

    Result: The list shows who needs a confirmation call.

  5. Team habits note

    A short guide on who updates which field and when.

    Result: Each field has a named owner.

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.

Which CRM tool should a casting agency use?
Pick one your team will actually open, and that can hold consent notes and dates. GullySales sets it up in whichever tool you already use, or in a simple shared sheet to begin with.
Is it safe to hold performers' details in a CRM?
Hold only what consent covers, restrict who can see it and record guardian consent for minors. Rules on personal data change, so check with your own adviser about what you store.
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.
