Livestock feed suppliers · CRM
A customer record that shows who orders what, who is due, and who owes.
A CRM for a livestock feed supplier is one shared record of every farmer: their animals, usual brand, usual order and what is outstanding. GullySales works on a sheet or a simple tool the whole shop can read, with credit and reorder dates set beside each name.
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 livestock feed suppliers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The notebook knows more than the shop”
The owner remembers who orders what, but staff and family members cannot read the notebook. When the owner is away, the shop sells without knowing a farmer's credit or usual brand.
“Credit and sales are kept apart”
A farmer can look like a good customer on the sales side and a risk on the credit side. Unless both sit on the same line, the shop extends more credit to the farmer it should be asking to pay.
“A reorder date is a lead”
A regular farmer buys on a rhythm. When that date passes with no order, either the farmer has moved or something went wrong, and either case is worth a call that the shop never makes.
“A tool too big for the counter is never used”
A feature-heavy software with a dozen screens stays unopened. A simple sheet with a few columns that staff fill in at the time of the order is kept up to date.
What we do
What we deliver for livestock feed suppliers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A farmer record layout
Fields for village, animals, brand, usual quantity, last order and credit balance.
Result: Every customer has a complete line in one sheet.
A credit view
Outstanding amounts by farmer with the last payment date, sorted so overdue accounts are visible.
Result: Overdue accounts can be seen without going through the notebook.
A reorder tracker
Each farmer's usual interval beside the last order, marking who is due.
Result: The shop can list the farmers due to order this week by village.
A staff entry routine
A short routine for who enters what at the counter, on delivery and at payment.
Result: Every order is entered by the person who took it.
A move from notebook to sheet
The existing records moved over with the owner checking a sample.
Result: The owner has reviewed the moved records and signed them off.
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
These are the fields a shop sheet needs to track orders and credit.
- Farmer, village and animals kept
- Filled at the first order. It sorts smallholders from units and shows which villages cluster.
- Brand, bag size and usual quantity
- Filled from the order. It sets the reorder rhythm and tells you what to stock.
- Last order date and expected reorder date
- Updated at each order. A passed date is a reason to call.
- Credit given, due date and amount paid
- Filled by the counter. It shows at a glance who owes and who is a risk.
- Referred by
- Filled by whoever takes the first call. It shows which neighbours and vets send new farmers.
Who it is for
This is written for these livestock feed suppliers.
- Cattle feed dealers serving small dairy farmers
- Poultry feed dealers for layer and broiler farms
- Goat, sheep and pig feed suppliers
- Mineral mixture and supplement traders
- Fodder and silage suppliers
- Wholesale feed distributors supplying village dealers
- Suppliers to dairy cooperatives and milk societies
- Feed traders who also sell animal healthcare products
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Staff will not enter orders at the counter because the owner keeps the notebook alone
- Credit is given on handshake and the amounts are not agreed, so a sheet would record disputes
- You expect software with many screens to fix a habit of not writing down orders
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 sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.
- 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
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
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
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
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.
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.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
