Multi-location service businesses · CRM
Keep one client record that every branch can read and the owner can trust.
A CRM for a multi-location service business is a single record of clients, enquiries and visits that every branch writes to and the owner reads. GullySales works on choosing a simple setup, entering the fields that matter, and getting managers to 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 multi-location service businesses
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Branch notebooks hide the real picture”
One branch keeps a register, another a spreadsheet, a third relies on memory. The owner asks how many enquiries came last week and gets three different answers. A shared record makes the question answerable.
“A client who moves between branches starts again”
A member who joins in Jayanagar and later visits Koramangala is a stranger there. The staff ask the same questions and miss the history. A common record lets any branch greet the client properly.
“Managers skip entry when it is long”
A form with twenty fields is filled once and dropped. The record should hold what the branch needs: name, phone, service wanted, branch, source, next step and date. Anything beyond that is added only if someone uses it.
“Client data needs care”
Phone numbers and service history are personal data, and health or coaching records are more sensitive. Access should follow role, and branch staff should see what they need. Check data rules with your own adviser.
What we do
What we deliver for multi-location service businesses.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A field list agreed with managers
A short, fixed set of fields for enquiries and clients, agreed with branch teams so entry is quick.
Result: Every branch records the same things.
Setup of a CRM or shared sheet
A tool matched to your size, such as a common CRM or a structured sheet, with branch views and owner views.
Result: Each manager sees their branch and the owner sees all.
Branch tagging and ownership
Every enquiry and client is tagged to a branch and an owner, with a rule for transfers between branches.
Result: No record sits without a named person.
Entry habits and a short guide
A one-page guide and a walk-through for each manager showing when and how to log a call or visit.
Result: New staff can follow the routine without a long handover.
Owner view of the pipeline
A simple view of enquiries, bookings and attendance by branch for the owner's own review.
Result: You can compare branches from the same data.
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 every branch should fill so a client is one record.
- Home branch and branches visited
- Set at the first visit and extended when a client uses another centre. The record follows the person, not the building.
- Service and package
- Filled by the desk at booking. Lets a manager see who is on which plan and who is due for renewal.
- Who attends and who pays
- Two names when they differ, such as parent and student. The desk fills it so messages go to the right person.
- Consent and preferred channel
- Filled with the date at the desk. It decides who may receive a reminder and by what route.
- Last visit and next due
- Updated by the desk after each visit. Lets the branch contact lapsed clients before the gap is a year.
- Reason for leaving
- Asked once at the desk when a client stops. Shows the owner whether price, timing or a staff change drove it.
Who it is for
This is written for these multi-location service businesses.
- Salon, spa and grooming studio chains
- Gym, yoga and fitness studio groups
- Coaching and tuition centre networks
- Diagnostic and pathology lab collection centres under one owner
- Dental and eye clinic groups
- Photo, dance, music and activity centre chains
- Repair, service and care centres across a city
- Co-working, coaching and training institute branches
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Branch desks will not type any extra field, so a long form would stay empty and the owner would see nothing.
- You have only one branch and a short client list that a sheet already holds.
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.
