FinTech startups · CRM

Keep one record of each prospect from first contact to first transaction.

A CRM for a FinTech startup is the shared record of every prospect, agent visit, KYC stage and first transaction. Without it, field sales, support and marketing each hold a piece. GullySales sets up the stages and fields in a tool your team already uses, such as Zoho CRM or a plain sheet.

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 FinTech startups

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

  • “The drop-off point is the most useful fact”

    If a record shows a merchant stopped at document upload, the call-back has a purpose. Without the stage, the caller asks a stranger why they never finished.

  • “Field agents keep records in their phones”

    A visit noted on an agent's notebook or chat never reaches the office. The founder then cannot say which agent brought who, or what was promised on the spot.

  • “Partner leads need their own pipeline”

    A bank or NBFC conversation takes meetings, documents and approvals across months. Forcing it into the merchant pipeline hides where the deal is stuck.

  • “Consent has to travel with the record”

    A number collected for one purpose should not be used for another. The record needs a field for what the person agreed to, so marketing and support respect it.

What we do

What we deliver for FinTech startups.

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

  1. A pipeline for each buyer type

    Separate stages for merchants, finance teams and partners, named in your team's own words.

    Result: Each buyer type has stages that match how it really buys.

  2. A stage record for onboarding

    Fields for installed, started KYC, finished KYC, first transaction and the point of drop-off.

    Result: A drop-off record the callers work from.

  3. Agent entry made simple

    A short form or chat flow an agent fills in on the phone after each visit.

    Result: Agent visits appear in the record the same day they are entered.

  4. Owner and next-step rules

    Every record carries a named owner and a next action with a date.

    Result: No prospect sits without someone responsible.

  5. A consent field and import clean-up

    A field for permission given and a clean import of the lists you already hold.

    Result: One list without duplicates, each with a note of permission.

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

The fields that show where each prospect stopped and why.

Stage reached in onboarding
Written by the app or backend: installed, verified, bank linked, first transaction. It shows where each prospect stopped.
Buyer type
Merchant, finance head, accountant or partner, set at entry. It decides which pipeline the person sits in.
Source with name
The agent, CA or campaign, filled at entry. It shows which source brings people who finish onboarding.
Consent and its wording
Captured with the date at entry. It travels with the record into every list and call.
Reason for stopping
The caller picks from a fixed list and adds free text, such as a document, a fear or a charge, in the person's own words.
Language preference
Entered at the first call, so the next caller speaks the language the person chose.

Who it is for

This is written for these FinTech startups.

  • Payment gateway and UPI collection startups for small merchants
  • Digital lending and credit-line startups working with an NBFC or bank partner
  • Accounting, invoicing and bill-payment tools for MSMEs
  • Expense, payout and corporate-card startups for finance teams
  • Wealth and investing app startups working under a licensed entity
  • Neobanking and salary-account startups for gig and blue-collar workers
  • Remittance and cross-border payment startups for exporters
  • Regtech and KYC infrastructure startups selling to banks

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your app data and your leads sit in separate tools that cannot be matched, so stages would be guesses
  • Field agents will not enter records and no one reviews them, so the data would stay thin

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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need a paid CRM?
Not first. A well-built sheet with clear stages works for a small team. Move to a CRM when several people edit the records at once. GullySales sets up whichever fits.
Can the CRM connect to our app data?
The product database can feed stage updates to the CRM, depending on your engineers and the tool. We write the field list your engineers need and test the link with them.
Who should own the CRM?
One named person at the startup, the sales lead. Everyone else enters data, and that person checks it is complete. Without an owner, records decay.
Can field agents see every prospect in the CRM?
Give each agent only their own prospects. Personal and financial details travel with the record, so wide access spreads risk. Compliance sets who may view documents. Agents see names, stages and the next step, and the owner sees the whole.
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.
