Civil lawyers · CRM
Every enquiry, hearing date and client message belongs in one record the chamber can open.
A CRM for a civil lawyer is the shared record of enquiries, matters, hearing dates and follow-ups that the advocate, juniors and clerk all see. GullySales sets up a simple version of this and trains the chamber to keep it up.
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 civil lawyers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The record lives in the clerk's head”
Callers are noted on a slip, a phone or a diary. When the clerk is absent, nobody knows who called about the injunction, and the caller moves on to the next chamber.
“An enquiry and a case are different records”
A person who called and a client with a file are not the same. Mixing them hides how many calls became matters, and the chamber cannot see where people dropped away.
“Dates matter more than names”
A hearing, a reply due or a notice period is a date the chamber cannot miss. A record that stores names but not dates is a contact book, not a system.
“Confidentiality constrains the tool”
Client information sits under professional duty. A free shared spreadsheet or an unknown app on a junior's phone can expose it, so the choice of tool needs the partner's approval.
What we do
What we deliver for civil lawyers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A simple enquiry and matter record
Fields for source, matter, court, next date and outcome, kept to what the chamber will fill in.
Result: Anyone can open a record and see its state.
Pipeline stages in plain words
Enquiry, first meeting, engaged, in court, closed, with a rule for moving between them.
Result: Everyone means the same thing by each stage.
Date reminders
Hearing and reply dates entered and reminded to the right person.
Result: Nothing relies on one person's memory.
Access and privacy rules
Who may see what, how devices are secured and what is never stored.
Result: The partner knows who can open which file.
A training session for the clerk and juniors
A hands-on session and a one-page guide on entering records.
Result: The record is filled the same way each time.
A review of what the record shows
Sources and matters read with the partner.
Result: Decisions come from the record, not from memory.
How the result is measured

We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.
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.

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.

Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
