Corporate lawyers · CRM
Keep one record of every enquiry, every referrer and every promised reply.
A CRM for a corporate law firm is a shared record of enquiries, matters pitched and the people who send work. GullySales sets one up around the firm's own process and keeps client-confidential detail out of it.
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 corporate lawyers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Relationships live in partners' phones”
A banker's number sits in one partner's contacts, and when that partner is travelling nobody else knows the history. The relationship belongs to the firm, and the record should too.
“The record must exclude privileged detail”
A CRM that holds client documents or the substance of advice creates risk. It should hold who called, the type of transaction, the partner and the next step, nothing more.
“Referrers deserve a record as much as clients”
The CA who sent three matters is worth more than a one-off client. Without a record of dates and outcomes, thanks and updates depend on memory.
“Proposals go unanswered without a reminder”
A promoter asks for a fee note and hears nothing back for a while. A follow-up date in the record stops a pitched matter from drifting.
What we do
What we deliver for corporate lawyers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Contact and referrer database
One list of promoters, finance heads, CAs, bankers and lawyers with who knows whom at the firm.
Result: Any partner can see the history with a given contact.
Enquiry pipeline stages
Stages from first call to proposal sent to engagement letter signed, defined with the partners.
Result: Each pitched matter sits in exactly one stage.
Confidentiality rules for the record
A short written rule on what may and may not be entered, agreed by the partners.
Result: Staff know what stays out of the system.
Follow-up reminders
A next-step date on every open enquiry, assigned to a named person.
Result: No open enquiry is without a dated next step.
Referrer summary view
A view showing each introducer, the matters sent and what became of them.
Result: You can see which introducers to thank and update.

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 record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.
- 2
Configure stages and fields
The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.
- 3
Set up automations
Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.
- 4
Test with real deals
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.
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.
