Podcast production studios · CRM

Keep every enquiry, series and renewal in one record the whole studio can read.

A CRM for a podcast studio is the shared record of who enquired, what was quoted, which series is in progress and when a host is due to renew. GullySales works on the stages, fields and reminders that suit a studio's mix of room hire and produced shows.

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 podcast production studios

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

  • “Enquiries arrive from several places and live in none”

    Messages come through Instagram, WhatsApp, calls, the website form and a friend's introduction. If each is remembered by whoever took it, a quote goes unanswered when that person is on a shoot. One record collects them all.

  • “A series is a relationship, not a booking”

    A host with a show in progress has a calendar, a topic list, a pending edit and a renewal coming. A booking sheet that records only the room and time cannot show whether the show is healthy.

  • “The room-hire repeat booker is a different customer”

    A person who rents the room again and again is a good prospect for a full production. A record that shows their bookings lets the team make that offer at the right moment, rather than treating each visit as a stranger's.

  • “Company deals need a note of who approves”

    A branded show involves a marketing head, a founder and sometimes a finance contact. Recording who said what, and who signs off, keeps a deal from stalling at a step nobody wrote down.

What we do

What we deliver for podcast production studios.

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

  1. A stage list that fits the studio

    Stages such as new enquiry, sample sent, season plan sent, quote sent, series signed, recording, and renewal.

    Result: Every enquiry sits in one stage the whole team can see.

  2. The fields that matter

    The host or company, buyer type, source, package quoted, approver, show topic and next step.

    Result: A record answers who, what and what happens next.

  3. A shared tool, set up and tested

    A sheet in Google Sheets, or a CRM such as Zoho CRM if the team prefers one, set up with the stages and fields.

    Result: The team works from one place instead of personal chats.

  4. A host record with the show's history

    Episodes recorded, editor assigned, skipped slots and renewal date kept against each host.

    Result: The producer sees which shows are at risk before they stop.

  5. Reminders attached to the next step

    Every record carries one next action and a date, so nothing sits without an owner.

    Result: No quote is left with no named person to follow up.

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.

Tell us what you need
Is a spreadsheet enough?
For a small studio, yes, if it has the stages, one next step per row and one person who keeps it current. Move to a CRM when several people update it and rows are overwritten or missed.
Who should update the CRM?
Whoever speaks to the buyer, straight after the conversation. If updating waits for the end of the day, the details are lost. The studio owner can check the record, but should not be its only editor.
Can the CRM show which hosts will renew?
It shows the signs: slots attended, edits pending, and replies to check-in messages. It cannot tell you the host will renew. It points the producer to the show that needs a conversation.
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.
