Tax lawyers · CRM
Keep every referrer, enquiry and brief in one record so nothing depends on memory.
A CRM for a tax lawyer is a single record of who referred each matter, which notice it concerned, where it stands and when the next contact is due. It is closer to a referrer register than a sales pipeline. GullySales sets one up around your chambers, using a spreadsheet or a simple tool you already run.
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 tax lawyers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Your best source is a relationship, and relationships need a record”
A chartered accountant who sent three briefs deserves attention. Without a register, you cannot see who they are, when they last sent a matter or when you last updated them.
“Confidential matter details do not belong in a casual tool”
A CRM holds contacts and stages, not privileged papers. Client files stay in your case system. Mixing them risks confidentiality, so the CRM carries notice type, forum and amount, nothing more.
“A matter has stages that the record should follow”
Enquiry, papers received, brief accepted, reply filed, appeal listed. A record that follows these stages lets any member of the team answer a referrer's question without hunting through email.
“A big tool nobody opens is worse than a sheet”
Chambers staff change and juniors rotate. A simple register that everyone updates beats a platform that only one person understands, so we match the tool to the habits of your team.
What we do
What we deliver for tax lawyers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A referrer register
One list of the chartered accountants, consultants and advocates who send you matters, with the date and notice of each.
Result: You can see who referred what and when.
An enquiry and brief tracker
A simple tracker with stages from first call to filed reply, using the forum and demand amount as columns.
Result: Each matter shows its stage at a glance.
A rule on what stays out of the CRM
A written list that keeps privileged papers and client detail in your case file and out of the contact tool.
Result: Confidential material is kept apart.
Reminders for referrer updates
A prompt to send the referrer an update after each stage of a matter, with the date of the last update shown.
Result: No referrer goes without news.
A handover note for new staff
A short page on how the register works, who updates it and where each field comes from.
Result: A new junior can maintain it from day one.
How the result is measured

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.
