Family lawyers · CRM
Keep a private record of each enquiry so that no family is lost in the court calendar.
A CRM for a family law practice is a private system that records each enquiry, the matter, the next step and the person responsible. GullySales sets one up around your intake routine and your confidentiality duties, so that a call during a hearing is not forgotten.
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 family lawyers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Hearings swallow the office”
When the partner is in court and the junior is at the registry, an enquiry can sit on a sticky note. A shared record with a named owner turns a missed call into a task.
“Family matters run for a long time”
A custody case can pause and restart, and a will can wait years for a review. A record that holds the history lets someone pick up the file without asking the family to repeat everything.
“Confidentiality shapes the whole system”
Access, storage and sharing must respect your duties to clients. Choose a system where only people who need to see an enquiry can see it, and keep sensitive detail out of notes where it is not needed.
“Referrers deserve a record too”
If a counsellor or a chartered accountant sends a family to you, noting that source lets you thank them and understand which relationships matter. It also shows where referrals have stopped.
What we do
What we deliver for family lawyers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A matter and enquiry pipeline
Stages from first call to retained, declined or referred out, with a named owner at each stage.
Result: Every enquiry shows its stage and its owner.
Minimal-detail fields
Fields for matter type, source, next step and date, with free-text detail kept to what is needed.
Result: The record carries enough to act and no more.
Access rules
A short list of who can see which records, written with your confidentiality duties in mind.
Result: Access matches the duties of each role.
A referrer register
A list of counsellors, advisers and bankers who send matters, with the last contact.
Result: You know which referrers to update and thank.
A tidy-up routine
A step for closing old enquiries and removing detail you no longer need to hold.
Result: The system stays accurate and light.

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.

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.
