LPG and cooking gas distributors · CRM
Notice the hotel that stopped ordering before a competitor does.
A CRM for an LPG distributor is a record of commercial accounts, order patterns, complaints and follow-ups, kept beyond the delivery register. GullySales works on what to record, who sees it and how it prompts the next call.
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 LPG and cooking gas distributors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The delivery register records orders, not relationships”
It shows who took a cylinder yesterday. It does not show that a canteen has not ordered for weeks or that a hotel complained twice. A record built from the register turns those orders into a picture of each account.
“Complaints need an owner and an end”
A complaint taken at the counter and lost by the evening becomes a review. A record with a name and a status prevents this. The record also shows which complaint types repeat.
“Commercial accounts need billing notes”
Credit arrangements, GST invoice details and contact people differ for each account. Without a record, staff improvise. Staff should read the note before the call, not after.
“Staff change, accounts remain”
When a delivery lead leaves, the knowledge of which kitchen wants early delivery goes with them. A record keeps it. A new person can pick up the account on the first day.
What we do
What we deliver for LPG and cooking gas distributors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Account records for commercial customers
Contact, cylinder size, delivery point, billing arrangement and last order.
Result: Anyone can serve an account correctly.
An order-pattern view
A simple table of each account's usual order gap, drawn from the register.
Result: A silent account is spotted.
A complaint tracker
Each complaint with owner, action and closing date.
Result: No complaint is lost.
A call-back list
Accounts due a courtesy call, with the reason.
Result: Calls are planned and not random.
A guide for the counter staff
A one-page note on what to record and where.
Result: The record is filled by those who hear the news.
A simple dashboard of open complaints and quiet accounts
One view for the owner.
Result: You see problems at a glance.
A consent column
Whether the customer agreed to messages.
Result: Reminders respect consent.
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
Fields that show which kitchen is slipping before it leaves.
- Account type and legal name
- The counter staff fills it at first order. It decides the invoice and shows commercial customers apart from households in any list.
- Usual cylinders per month
- Entered from the delivery register after two or three orders. It lets you spot the hotel that has stopped ordering.
- Last delivery date
- Filled by the delivery team at drop. A long gap against the usual pattern is the sign to call.
- Billing contact and GST details
- Collected by the accounts person once. It avoids errors in the invoice and the awkward call to correct one.
- Open complaint and owner
- The person who took the call fills it. It closes only when the customer confirms, so no complaint is lost between shifts.
- Preferred contact and time
- Cook, owner or manager, and when they answer. A call at the wrong hour is a missed call.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Orders are still recorded only in a delivery register no one else can read, and that needs to be settled before software.
- Nobody has decided who updates a record after a delivery, so the CRM would go stale.
- Customer data is held by staff on personal phones, and storage and access rules come first.
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.
