Residential construction contractors · CRM
Keep every family's enquiry, visit and quote in one place the whole office can read.
A CRM for a residential contractor is a single record of every family from first call to signed agreement, with notes on visits, quotes and promised follow-ups. GullySales works on choosing a simple tool, setting its stages to match how you sell and getting the team to use 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 residential construction contractors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Enquiries live in three phones”
The owner has a few, the engineer has some and the accountant has the rest. When someone is away, a family's call is answered by a person who knows nothing of the earlier conversation.
“Quotes are sent and forgotten”
An estimate goes out on WhatsApp, the family goes silent and nobody opens the thread again. Without a record of the date and the next step, the lead lies dead until the family signs with someone else.
“A tool nobody updates is worse than none”
A complex system that takes ten minutes per entry gets skipped. The stages must be few, the fields must be short and entry must be possible from a phone on site.
“Lost reasons are the most useful field”
Knowing that families left over rate, trust, timing or plan tells the owner what to change. Without that field the same loss repeats and nobody knows why.
What we do
What we deliver for residential construction contractors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A pipeline with stages that fit your sale
Enquiry, plot visit, estimate sent, discussion, agreement and lost, each with a plain meaning.
Result: Everyone describes a lead the same way.
A short enquiry form for a phone
Name, plot, floors, budget, source and next step, entered in a minute.
Result: Entry happens on site, not later.
Import of existing enquiries
Phone notes, spreadsheets and WhatsApp lists brought into the one record.
Result: Past families are visible again.
A next-step date on every open lead
No lead sits without a written action and a date.
Result: Each open family has a task.
A lost-reason list reviewed with the owner
Four or five reasons chosen with you and read through together.
Result: You see why families do not sign.
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
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.
