Shrimp farms · CRM

Keep every plant, agent and payment date in one place the owner can open on harvest day.

A CRM for a shrimp farm is a single record of each buyer, with the rates they quoted, the lots they took, the payment days and the notes from every call. GullySales sets it up in a tool the farm will actually open, and builds the habit of filling it in.

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 shrimp farms

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

  • “Rates live in memory and in old chats”

    The count-wise rate a plant paid two crops ago is somewhere in WhatsApp. On harvest day nobody scrolls back. A record that holds each quote by count and date puts the comparison in front of the owner before the call.

  • “Payment history decides who to call first”

    A plant that pays late costs interest on feed loans. When the days from harvest to payment sit beside each buyer, the owner can see who is worth the call, instead of recalling it from a bad experience.

  • “A manager or relative may take the calls”

    Calls reach the owner, the pond manager or a relative. Without one shared record, each hears different quotes. A shared log keeps the story of each buyer the same whoever answers.

  • “The record must be light enough to use”

    A tool with a long list of fields is abandoned by the second crop. The useful record is a few columns: buyer, contact, count, rate, weight, payment date, notes. Anything else is added only when the farm asks.

What we do

What we deliver for shrimp farms.

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

  1. A buyer sheet or simple CRM

    Plants, agents, traders and local buyers with contacts and a note on how each prefers to be reached.

    Result: One file where every buyer appears once.

  2. A quote log by harvest

    The count, rate, quantity and weight settlement for each buyer in each crop.

    Result: A sheet that compares this harvest's quotes with the last.

  3. A payment tracker

    Invoice, expected date, received date and the days between.

    Result: A running list of what each buyer owes and since when.

  4. A call note habit

    A short format for noting every call and who made it.

    Result: Every call to a buyer leaves a dated line.

  5. A hand-over for staff and family

    A one-page guide for whoever else answers the phone.

    Result: A page the whole team has read and agreed to follow.

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 a shrimp farm should record against each plant, agent and local buyer.

Count and rate paid
Filled by whoever settles the harvest. Lets you set today's quote against what the same buyer paid for the same count last crop.
Weight at farm and at plant
Filled by the manager at the weighing. Shows which agent or plant settles weights differently and by how much.
Date promised and date paid
Filled by the accounts person. Tells you which buyer to ring first when cash is short and who to avoid for a large lot.
Reason a lot was held
Filled by the owner after the call with the plant. Builds the answer you will need if the same point is raised again.
Preferred way to be contacted
Filled by whoever spoke last. Saves ringing a procurement manager who answers only on WhatsApp, or the reverse.
Stocking and harvest dates shared
Filled by the owner. Shows which buyers were told about each pond, and which learned of the harvest too late to bid.

Who it is for

This is written for these shrimp farms.

  • Vannamei farms on the east and west coast
  • Tiger shrimp (monodon) farms, including low-density units
  • Inland saline-water shrimp farms
  • Small farms of a few acres with leased ponds
  • Large farms with several ponds and a staggered stocking plan
  • Farmer groups and societies that sell through a common agent
  • Farms that also run their own hatchery link or nursery
  • Farms that supply local hotels, markets and retail shops

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have only two or three buyers in all and the information is already held by one reliable person.
  • No one is willing to enter a rate or a payment date after a call, so the record would fall behind the same week.
  • The farm shares one phone among family members and a shared record would expose rates between them.

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 I need paid software?
Not at the start. A shared sheet that your team opens is better than a paid tool they ignore. We choose with you, and move to a tool only when the sheet is outgrown.
Who keeps it updated?
Someone on the farm has to be named for it. We set up the format and train the person, and we check it is being used. It cannot update itself.
Is buyer data safe in it?
Choose where it sits and who can open it. We recommend keeping buyer names and rates to people who need them, and we explain the tool's own sharing settings.
Can my family members see the buyer rates?
Only if you decide so. A farm run by a family has one person who negotiates and another who keeps accounts. The reason to limit access is that a rate seen by the wrong person can leak to an agent. Give each role the fields it needs.
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.
