Marketplace platforms · CRM
Keep one record for every provider and every buyer, from first contact to repeat booking.
A CRM for a marketplace tracks two kinds of contact, providers who supply and buyers who book, in the same system with different stages. GullySales sets up the fields, stages and rules so field agents, telecallers and support see the same history.
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 marketplace platforms
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The platform database is not a CRM”
The app knows who registered and what was booked. It does not hold the call that a field agent made, the reason a provider went quiet or the promise a telecaller gave. A CRM keeps this human history beside the transaction record, so the next person who calls knows the story.
“Providers need stages that match their journey”
A provider moves from lead to registered, from registered to verified, from verified to first lead answered, then to first job completed. A single status of active hides where providers drop out. Separate stages show exactly where onboarding stalls.
“Buyers need a record only when they matter”
Every one-time guest does not need a sales stage. Repeat buyers, business buyers and those with a pending job do. Deciding which buyers get a record and which are only counted keeps the system useful instead of cluttered.
“Field and telecalling teams lose leads in notebooks”
A field agent who signs up a provider in a market and notes it on paper creates a lead nobody follows. Whatever the agent uses on the ground must write to the same record the telecaller sees, even if it is a simple form.
What we do
What we deliver for marketplace platforms.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Two pipelines in one CRM
A provider pipeline and a buyer pipeline, each with stages, owners and rules for moving a record forward.
Result: A pipeline view for each side with a named owner for every stage.
A field-agent capture form
A short mobile form for agents to record a provider on the spot, with the trade, area and consent to be contacted.
Result: A form that creates a CRM record at the end of every visit.
Source and locality fields
Fields recording where a contact came from and which locality they belong to, so reports read by area and by channel.
Result: A report of contacts by source and by locality.
Link to the platform data
A routine for bringing registration and booking events into the CRM, so stages update from real activity.
Result: Stages that change when a provider answers a lead or completes a job.
Rules for who owns a record
Written ownership rules between field, telecalling and support, so no provider is called by three people or by none.
Result: A one-page ownership guide for the team.
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.
