Scrap recycling companies · CRM
Keep every seller, rate quoted and pickup promise in one place.
A CRM for a scrap yard is a record of every seller and buyer, what was quoted, what was promised and when the next call is due. GullySales sets up a record that suits a yard's phone-led work and helps the team use it.
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 scrap recycling companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The phone is the real system, and it forgets”
Quotes are given in calls, in the middle of weighing, in a moving vehicle. Without a record, rate, quantity and pickup date vanish, and a seller who was almost won goes to the yard that followed up.
“A seller is also a buyer, sometimes”
A fabricator who sells you turnings may buy back a finished item, or a contractor may both sell steel and refer another site. One record per party, with both roles, avoids duplicates and missed links.
“Tender dates are lost in inboxes”
A bid notice arrives by email, gets forwarded and drowns. A tender stage in the record, with a closing date and an owner, keeps the bid alive.
What we do
What we deliver for scrap recycling companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A contact and company record
Name, plant, role, metals held, vehicle needs and the history of every lift and call.
Result: One record per seller or buyer, with their lift history.
Quote and pickup stages
Stages from enquiry to quote sent, confirmed, lifted, weighed and paid.
Result: A view showing where each seller stands.
Follow-up prompts
A reminder attached to every unconfirmed quote and every seller who has gone quiet.
Result: A list of today's calls due, built from the record.
A tender and bid tracker
Closing dates, documents needed and who is responsible for each bid.
Result: A list of open bids with their closing dates.
Simple reports
Lifts by source, repeat against first-time sellers, and unanswered calls.
Result: A report you can read at a desk in a few minutes.
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.
