Education franchise brands · CRM

Keep franchise candidates and parent enquiries in one system with two different pipelines.

A CRM for an education franchise brand is the record of every candidate owner and every parent enquiry, with the stage each one has reached. GullySales works on the stages, fields and ownership rules so that head office and centres see the same picture.

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 education franchise brands

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

  • “Two pipelines, one tool”

    A candidate owner moves from enquiry to call, centre visit, discussion and agreement. A parent moves from enquiry to trial class, fee talk and admission. Forcing both through one list of stages hides where each is stuck.

  • “Centres keep records in notebooks”

    A centre manager writes enquiries in a register, and head office never sees them. When the manager leaves, the history leaves too. A shared CRM with simple fields keeps the parent's name, the child's age and the programme with the centre.

  • “Child data needs care”

    A parent enquiry includes a child's name and age. Collect only what you need, give access only to those who need it, and keep it out of public chats and posts.

  • “Who owns the lead matters”

    When a parent writes to head office but lives near a centre, the lead can fall between two teams. A routing rule by area decides who replies and who records the result.

What we do

What we deliver for education franchise brands.

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

  1. Two pipeline setups

    Stage lists for candidate owners and for parent admissions, with a short definition of each stage.

    Result: Everyone uses the same stage names.

  2. Field list

    A short set of fields for each pipeline, kept to what the team will really fill in.

    Result: A form that a centre manager completes in a minute.

  3. Routing rules by area

    A table matching each parent enquiry to its nearest centre, and each owner enquiry to a sales executive.

    Result: No enquiry sits unowned.

  4. Centre login and access rules

    Who at head office and at each centre can see which records.

    Result: A written access list.

  5. A simple head office view

    Enquiries, trial classes and admissions listed by centre.

    Result: A single screen that shows which centre needs support.

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.

Fields worth keeping

What to store so a candidate owner and a parent enquiry each get a different path.

Pipeline type
Franchise candidate or parent enquiry, set when the record is created. Each type has its own stages and its own owner.
Assigned centre or sales person
Filled by routing rules from the locality. A parent goes to the nearest centre, a candidate to the franchise team.
Child's class and programme
Filled by the centre. It matches the enquiry to a batch and keeps data to what the centre needs, nothing about the child beyond that.
Consent and communication choice
Recorded at the form, with the date. A message to a parent needs this behind it, and child data needs the parent's agreement.
Next step and due date
Set by whoever last touched the record. A parent who asked on Saturday should not appear as overdue only on Monday without anyone knowing.

Who it is for

This is written for these education franchise brands.

  • Tuition and school coaching franchise brands
  • Competitive exam coaching franchise brands
  • Abacus, mental maths and handwriting programme brands
  • Coding, robotics and STEM learning centre brands
  • Spoken English and language institute franchises
  • Skill and vocational training centre brands
  • Music, dance and art class franchises
  • Test preparation and study abroad coaching brands

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Centres refuse to enter data and head office has no way to make them, so the system would show only the candidate side
  • You have no rule on who owns an enquiry, so the same family would be called by two centres and a salesperson
  • You hold child data in personal phones and have not decided who may see it, so a shared system would widen the risk

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 sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

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.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM tool should we pick?
Choose one your centre managers will open every day. Tools in common use in India range from simple shared sheets to dedicated CRM products. Pick based on who must use it and the cost of seats for centres.
Do centres need to use it?
If the centre is to receive parent enquiries from head office, yes. Start with three or four fields. A tool that centres find heavy will be abandoned.
How do we handle parent consent for data?
Tell the parent why their details are taken and ask for consent in plain words. Keep records minimal and restrict access. Check data rules with your own adviser, as requirements change.
How long should we keep a parent's enquiry data?
Keep it as long as you need it for the admission, and delete it when the family declines or the purpose ends. Child data needs extra care. Write a short retention rule with your adviser and apply it to every centre, because rules differ by place.
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.
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.
