Mineral export companies · CRM
Keep each importer, enquiry, sample and shipment in one record the whole team reads.
A CRM for a mineral exporter is a shared record of every overseas contact, the mineral and grade they asked about, the sample sent and the shipment that followed. GullySales sets up the fields and the routine, using a tool such as Zoho CRM, HubSpot or a well-kept Google Sheet.
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 mineral export companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The buyer's history sits in one inbox”
When enquiries, quotes and sample details live in one person's mailbox, a holiday or a departure breaks the thread. A shared record lets another team member see what was promised, when the sample went and what the buyer said.
“A sample is a stage, not a note”
A sample moves from request to dispatch, courier tracking, arrival, test result and buyer comment. If it is tracked only in a chat, nobody notices when it stalls. Give the sample its own stage with a date and an owner.
“Country and mineral are the fields that matter”
Filtering by country and by mineral shows which market is warm, which is closed and which grade is in demand. Fields for payment method, port and agent show where friction appears. Keep the list of fields short enough to be filled in.
“Agents and importers need separate records”
When an agent brings an importer, record both and link them. If the agent leaves or the relationship ends, the importer record is still yours to follow up. Mark which contact has the relationship.
What we do
What we deliver for mineral export companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Field design
A short set of fields covering company, country, role, mineral, grade, quantity, port, payment method, source and agent.
Result: Every enquiry is filled in the same way.
Stage pipeline from enquiry to repeat shipment
Stages for enquiry, qualified, sample sent, sample result, quote, trial container and repeat order.
Result: You can see where each importer stands and who owns the next step.
Sample tracker view
A view of every sample with courier details, arrival date and the buyer's response.
Result: Stalled samples are visible at a glance.
Import of existing contacts
Clean-up and import of the buyer lists, portal enquiries and past emails you already hold.
Result: The first day starts with real names, not an empty system.
Team routine
A short routine for who updates the record, when, and how it is read in the sales conversation.
Result: The record is kept up because it is used.
