Waste management and recycling companies · CRM

Keep every site, contract date and complaint in one place.

A CRM for a waste company is a shared record of every site, contact, waste type, contract date and issue, so that renewals, complaints and new proposals do not depend on memory. GullySales sets up a record that fits how pickups and contracts work.

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 waste management and recycling companies

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

  • “Contract dates are in the owner's head”

    A client's contract ends, nobody was reminded, and the first call comes from a competitor.

  • “The record mixes sites, contacts and complaints”

    A society's committee changes every year, and the new secretary is a stranger to the company.

  • “Proposal status is unknown”

    A dozen proposals are out, and nobody can say which are waiting for a reply and which were declined.

What we do

What we deliver for waste management and recycling companies.

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

  1. A record layout for each site

    Name, address, type of client, waste streams, pickup days, vehicle, contract start and end, and the committee or facility contacts.

    Result: Any staff member can find a site's facts.

  2. Proposal pipeline

    Stages such as enquiry, visit, proposal, negotiation, trial, contract and renewal, with a date for the next step.

    Result: The owner sees which proposals need a call.

  3. Renewal calendar

    A list of contract end dates with a reminder well before each, and a call plan for the account holder.

    Result: Renewals are discussed before the contract ends.

  4. Complaint and pickup log

    A log of missed pickups, complaints, cause and fix, linked to the site.

    Result: A repeated problem at one site is noticed.

  5. Contact history that survives changes

    A note each time the committee or facility contact changes, with the new person's details and how you were introduced.

    Result: A new secretary is not a new stranger.

  6. Reporting for the owner

    Open proposals, contracts won, renewals due, complaints by site and waste stream, from the same record.

    Result: Reviews use facts, not impressions.

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.

What to record, and when

What a waste company should record for each enquiry and each client, and why.

Site, type of client and source
Record the society, hotel, office or factory, the address and where the enquiry came from. This shows which source brings contracts.
Waste streams and quantity
Note wet, dry, e-waste, scrap or construction waste, and the rough quantity. A vague note leads to the wrong vehicle on the wrong day.
Decision maker and committee date
Write who decides, when the next meeting is, and what the committee asked for. A proposal after the meeting is too late.
Proposal sent and next call date
Store the proposal with its date and write the next call date on it. A proposal with no date will not be followed up.
Pickup and complaint history
Log missed pickups, complaints and fixes against the site. At renewal time this is what the client will remember.
Do you need software yet?
Not at first. A shared sheet with these columns is enough for a small operator. Move to a CRM when several people handle sites or when reminders are missed.

Who it is for

This is written for these waste management and recycling companies.

  • Wet waste collection and composting companies
  • Dry waste and plastic recyclers
  • Scrap dealers and organised kabadiwala networks
  • E-waste collectors and recyclers
  • Construction and demolition waste handlers
  • Industrial and factory waste managers
  • Paper, cardboard and packaging waste recyclers
  • Battery, tyre and used oil collectors
  • Society and apartment waste management vendors

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You serve only a handful of sites and the owner knows each contract date, so a system would add typing before it adds memory.
  • Supervisors will not record complaints after a pickup, and a record without them gives a rosy and false picture.

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
Spreadsheet or CRM for a company with fifty sites?
A spreadsheet can carry that many if one person owns it. Move to a CRM when more than one person updates it, or when you need reminders, reports and a record of every conversation.
What if supervisors and drivers do not update the record?
Keep their part to two or three fields and a photograph, and review the record weekly as the owner's habit. A record that asks for too much stays empty.
Should we link the CRM to our pickup or weighing software?
If both exist, yes, so that volumes sit beside the contract and the invoice. If not, start with the contract and complaint record, and link later.
Who owns the client data?
The company does. Keep the account in the company's name, choose a tool you can export from, and keep a copy of the records outside the tool.
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.
