Music production companies · CRM

Keep every brief, sample and quote in one place so no commission is forgotten.

A CRM for a music production company is a single record of every commissioner, brief, sample sent and quote given, kept where the whole team can read it. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habits so the studio sees what is open and what is waiting for a reply.

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 music production companies

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

  • “Briefs live in individual phones”

    A director messages the composer, an agency calls the producer and an artist writes to the studio account. Three people hold three conversations, and nobody can say what is pending without asking around.

  • “A commission has stages of its own”

    Brief received, samples sent, quote given, revision, approval, delivery and rights agreed do not look like a shop sale. A tool built around calls and orders does not fit, so the stages need to be named for the way music is commissioned.

  • “Sample history is lost”

    When a director returns months later, nobody remembers which tracks were sent or what was said about them. A record of the reference tracks and reactions saves sending the same set twice.

  • “Rights and credit agreements have no home”

    The agreed credit, master ownership and publishing split are recorded in chat messages. They belong on the commissioner's record next to the quote, with the document linked.

What we do

What we deliver for music production companies.

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

  1. Stage set for music commissions

    Named stages from brief received to delivered, with the action expected at each.

    Result: Every open brief sits in exactly one stage.

  2. Commissioner record fields

    Fields for buyer type, project, language, mood references, samples sent, quote value and rights status.

    Result: A record shows the full history of a brief at a glance.

  3. Import of existing contacts

    Directors, agencies and artists gathered from phones and sheets into one list, checked for duplicates.

    Result: Contacts sit in one list without repeats.

  4. Owner and reminder rules

    Each brief assigned to one person with a prompt set for the next action.

    Result: Nothing sits without a named owner.

  5. Team habit sheet

    A one-page note on what to record after every call and sample sent.

    Result: Everyone logs in the same way.

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 we use?
One your team will actually open. A simple tool in ordinary use in India is enough to start, and GullySales sets it up around your commission stages rather than the other way round.
Is a CRM too much for a small studio?
A small studio loses briefs the same way a large one does. A record of who asked, what was sent and what is pending takes little effort when the fields are few.
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.
