Waste management and recycling companies · Sales process

Move a society or a factory from first call to signed contract in steps.

A sales process for a waste company is a short written set of steps from the first enquiry through visit, proposal, trial and contract to the first pickup. GullySales writes it with your team, so every committee and plant manager is treated the same way.

What sales process means

A sales process is the fixed sequence of steps, such as enquiry, site visit, quote and order, that every deal is expected to pass through in the same order. GullySales writes this sequence down for your business and checks that every salesperson actually follows it.

For waste management and recycling companies

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

  • “Every committee gets a different proposal”

    The scope, the records and the terms vary with who wrote it, so clients compare you unfairly.

  • “A trial is offered without a way to judge it”

    A society tries one pickup, nobody records the result, and the committee decides on gossip.

  • “Handover to operations is informal”

    The contract is signed and the driver learns the address from a phone call, so the first pickup goes wrong.

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 written sales process

    The steps from enquiry to contract and first pickup, with who does each and what is recorded.

    Result: A new salesman or supervisor follows the same path.

  2. A site visit checklist

    What to look at, such as bin areas, access for vehicles, waste streams and existing staff, and what to photograph.

    Result: A proposal is based on the site and not on a guess.

  3. Proposal and scope templates

    A clear scope, the records you provide, the client's duties, the terms and an exit route, for each buyer type.

    Result: Clients compare the same things.

  4. A trial and review routine

    A defined trial, a record of each pickup and a short review with the committee or facility manager.

    Result: The decision uses facts.

  5. A contract handover checklist

    Site details, pickup days, the contact, the vehicle and the first-day plan passed to operations in writing.

    Result: The first pickup goes right.

  6. A review of won and lost proposals

    A short look at why proposals were won or lost, taken from the record.

    Result: The process improves from real cases.

How the result is measured

  • Deals following the process
  • Time spent at each step
  • Drop-off rate by step

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Steps of a sale

The steps of a waste contract sale, named the way the trade says them, and what to ask and record at each.

Enquiry
Reply the same day. Record the site, the waste type, the number of units or rooms, the current vendor and who decides.
Qualify
Check that you handle the waste, serve the area and can reach the decision maker. If not, say so and refer them; do not waste a visit.
Site visit
Walk the bin area and the vehicle route, meet the facility staff and note the streams. Photograph the site with permission.
Proposal
Send a scope, the records you provide, the client's duties and the price basis. Write the committee date and the next call on it.
Trial and follow-up
Offer a short trial where it suits, record every pickup, and call after the committee meets. Ask what stands between the client and a contract.
Contract and handover
Confirm scope and dates in writing, pass the site details to operations and call after the first pickup to check that all went well.

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.

  • Your pricing and what each pickup includes are not fixed, so a set sales process would force steps around terms that keep changing.
  • You have no one to follow through after a trial, so a stage-by-stage process would stop at the first visit.

How it works

How the sales process 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

    Study current deal flow

    We trace how deals actually move today, comparing across reps and outcomes.

  2. 2

    Define the stages

    Clear stages and criteria are designed to match how deals genuinely progress and close.

  3. 3

    Configure the CRM

    The process is built into your CRM so it is enforced structurally, not just documented.

  4. 4

    Train the team

    Reps are trained on the new process and why each stage exists.

  5. 5

    Review adoption

    We check after rollout whether the process is being followed and adjust where it is not.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  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 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    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
Who does which step, the owner or the salesman?
The salesman should handle enquiry, visit and proposal. The owner joins for large sites, committee presentations and final terms. Write it down, so nobody waits for approval on small sites.
When should we send the proposal?
After the site visit and ahead of the committee meeting. A proposal sent before you know the site becomes a price list, and one sent after the meeting arrives too late.
What do we do with a buyer who only asks for the lowest price?
Show what is in your scope and what a cheaper offer may leave out, such as records, segregation help and complaint handling. If the buyer still wants only the lowest price, do not discount the whole service.
What should we write down after each visit?
The date, who you met, the streams, any special access issue and what the committee said it wants. The next person to call will need it.
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.
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.
