General construction contractors · CRM

Keep every enquiry, site visit and quotation in one record, not in one head.

A CRM for a general contractor is a record of every owner, architect and enquiry, with the stage each has reached and the next call due. GullySales sets up a simple CRM or sheet your team will actually use, and teaches the habit of filling it in.

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 general construction contractors

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

  • “Quotations live in the estimator's head”

    The estimator remembers who got a bill of quantities and who has not replied. When that person is on a site or on leave, the file goes cold and nobody else knows whom to ring.

  • “An architect and an owner are recorded as one”

    The architect who recommended you and the owner who signed are different relationships. If both sit under one name, you cannot see which architects send you work or thank the right one.

  • “Reasons for lost jobs are never written”

    You hear that the rate was high, or the family chose someone else, and it is forgotten within a day. A few lines recorded at the time would show a pattern across a year of quotations.

What we do

What we deliver for general construction contractors.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A record built for building jobs

    Fields for owner, architect, plot, building type, area, stage, quotation date, next call and reason for outcome.

    Result: A record that matches how your jobs actually run.

  2. Stages from enquiry to contract

    Enquiry, site visit, drawings received, quotation sent, negotiation, signed or lost, each with a clear meaning.

    Result: Every enquiry sits in one stage that everyone understands.

  3. Reminders for next calls

    A due-date column and a daily list so no quotation passes unchecked.

    Result: A list the estimator opens each morning.

  4. Source and referrer fields

    A field for how the owner heard of you and the person who referred.

    Result: A count of work by source and referrer.

  5. Team habit and handover

    A short guide for the estimator and site engineer on what to enter, when, and who reviews it.

    Result: A shared habit with one named owner for the data.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

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

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. 1

    Map the sales process

    We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.

  2. 2

    Configure stages and fields

    The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    Set up automations

    Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.

  4. 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.

  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

    Sales process design

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

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need paid software?
Not at first. A well-built sheet works for a small firm. Move to a CRM tool when the sheet becomes crowded, and choose one your team will open daily.
Can the CRM include tender work?
Yes, as a separate stage list. Tender notices, submission dates and results fit well in the same record, though the bid and price stay with you.
Who should own the CRM?
One person, named. If everyone owns it, no one fills it in. We train that person and help them set the rule for what goes in.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
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.
