Preschool franchises · CRM
Keep every parent and every prospective owner in one record you can act on.
A CRM for a preschool franchise is a shared record of each parent enquiry and each centre-owner enquiry, with its stage and next step. GullySales sets one up around your admission calendar and your tour routine, using a tool your staff will actually open.
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 preschool franchises
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Enquiries live in the head's phone”
The centre head takes a call during circle time and writes the number on a notebook margin. By the time a seat opens, nobody can say who asked, which age group or when. A shared record replaces memory.
“A child's age drives everything”
The class, the fee and the follow-up date all depend on the child's date of birth and the academic year. A record without the age cannot say when to call back. The CRM must hold it, not a free note.
“The brand cannot see what the centres see”
A franchisor tracking centre-owner leads has no view of parent enquiries at the centres. Without a common structure, the brand cannot tell which cities convert tours into admissions.
“Parent data is personal data”
Names of families and ages of children sit in the system. Access should be limited to those who need it, and consent for messages recorded. Check data rules with your own adviser before choosing where records are kept.
What we do
What we deliver for preschool franchises.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Stages for parent enquiries
A set of stages from first message to tour booked, tour done, form given and admitted, with a lost reason.
Result: Each enquiry sits in one stage that everyone understands.
Stages for centre-owner enquiries
A separate set from first call to site visit, agreement and opening.
Result: The brand sees where owner leads stall.
Fields that matter
Child's age, preferred timing, locality, source, who attended the tour and the next call date.
Result: The record answers the questions staff ask on the phone.
Access rules for each role
Who at the centre, the city and the brand sees which records.
Result: A centre sees its own families and nothing else.
A simple training note for centre staff
A one-page guide on entering an enquiry in under a minute, written for teachers and not for sales staff.
Result: A teacher can log an enquiry between classes.
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
Keep these fields so every parent enquiry and franchise lead has a clear next step.
- Child's age band and target start month
- Filled by the counsellor at the first call. Lets the centre see which batch the child suits and when the follow-up is due.
- Tour date and who attended
- Filled by the head after the visit. Lets the next call refer to the person who came and what they asked.
- Reason for choosing or declining
- Filled by the counsellor when a family decides. Lets the brand see which worries lose admissions, such as distance or hours.
- Consent for messages
- Filled at the first contact. Records whether the family agreed to be contacted by message, so reminders stay welcome.
- Franchise candidate stage
- Filled by the brand's team. Lets the franchisor tell a first enquiry from a candidate who has visited a centre and holds a property.
Who it is for
This is written for these preschool franchises.
- Play school and nursery brands
- Montessori-based preschool franchises
- Preschool brands run from a home or a villa
- Preschool wings opened inside existing schools
- Daycare and early-learning combined brands
- Brands with franchise rights for a city or district
- Preschool brands in apartment complexes and gated communities
- International early-learning methods sold through franchise
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Your centres do not enter data after the tour, and an empty record would give the brand nothing to read
- Your parent data would sit in a shared file with no access rules, which is a risk for children's details
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.
