Excavation and earthmoving contractors · Sales process

Turn a call about a machine into a site visit, a quote and a signed work order.

A sales process for an earthmoving contractor is the order of steps from the first call to the signed work order and the handover to the operator. GullySales writes the steps your office follows, names who does each, and records where jobs drop out.

What sales process means

A sales process is the fixed sequence of steps, such as enquiry, site visit, quote and order, that every deal is expected to pass through in the same order. GullySales writes this sequence down for your business and checks that every salesperson actually follows it.

For excavation and earthmoving contractors

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

  • “The quote is given on the phone and never confirmed”

    A rate said over a call is forgotten by the next day. When the invoice arrives, the builder remembers a different number.

  • “The site is not seen before the machine goes”

    The operator arrives and finds a narrow lane, a wet plot or a rock bed. The day is lost and the argument over who pays begins.

  • “The work order is verbal until payment is due”

    A builder who booked by phone disputes the hours at invoice time, and nothing signed supports your count.

What we do

What we deliver for excavation and earthmoving contractors.

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

  1. A five-step sales sequence in writing

    Enquiry, questions, site visit for larger jobs, written quote, booking confirmation, each with an owner and a record.

    Result: Everyone in the office knows what happens next.

  2. A qualifying call

    The four questions on the card, plus whether the owner has permission for the job and for moving the soil.

    Result: You do not send a machine to a site that cannot receive one.

  3. A site visit slip and photographs

    A short form and three photographs from the visit, attached to the quote and kept in the sheet.

    Result: The quote is for the ground that was seen.

  4. A written quote and terms sheet

    Basis of charge, the minimum, what the owner provides, what stops the clock for rain or access, and how the hours are counted.

    Result: The invoice holds no surprise.

  5. A booking confirmation and hours log

    A message on booking that restates the site and the day, and a daily hours slip signed by the site contact.

    Result: The invoice matches a slip someone signed.

  6. A handover to billing and the next call

    The hours and the invoice details passed to the accounts, and a note to call the builder about the next phase.

    Result: The job ends with payment and a reason to call again.

How the result is measured

  • Deals following the process
  • Time spent at each step
  • Drop-off rate by step

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

Steps of a sale

The steps from the first call to a signed work order for an earthmoving contractor, and what to ask and record at each.

Enquiry
Write the caller, the number, the site and the job. Ask how they found you. A call that arrives without a site is a conversation about a rate, so ask for the location pin before saying more.
Qualify
Ask what is to be dug, how deep, in what ground, by when, and who signs the work order. Ask whether the owner holds the permission needed for the work and for the soil. Decline politely what your machines cannot do.
Site visit for larger jobs
Go, or send someone who can read ground. Check access, slope, water, neighbouring walls and where the spoil goes. A short visit saves a lost day, so photograph and note what you saw.
Quote
Send the basis of charge, the minimum booking, what the owner provides and what stops the clock. Send in writing the same day, and say when you will call to discuss. Verbal rates are the start of disputes.
Follow up
Call the builder after the quote and ask a real question: have they compared, is the date fixed, is anything unclear. A second call a few days later, before the machine is booked elsewhere, is part of the job.
Confirm and hand over
On booking, send the site, the day and the contact on site. Give the operator the same sheet. After the job, record the hours, the bill and the date to call about the next phase.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the sales process work runs

  1. 1

    Study current deal flow

    We trace how deals actually move today, comparing across reps and outcomes.

  2. 2

    Define the stages

    Clear stages and criteria are designed to match how deals genuinely progress and close.

  3. 3

    Configure the CRM

    The process is built into your CRM so it is enforced structurally, not just documented.

  4. 4

    Train the team

    Reps are trained on the new process and why each stage exists.

  5. 5

    Review adoption

    We check after rollout whether the process is being followed and adjust where it is not.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Who should do each step?
The office takes the enquiry and sends the quote. Someone who can read ground does the site visit, whether the owner, a supervisor or a senior operator. The operator handles the work on site. Write the names against each step.
When should I give a rate on the first call?
Give the basis and a range of what it depends on, and say the firm quote follows the site details. A single figure on a first call is held against you whatever the ground turns out to be.
What should I do with a buyer who only asks the cheapest rate?
Say plainly what your rate includes and what the cheaper machine leaves out, such as an experienced operator or a back-up machine. If the buyer still wants the lowest rate, let the job go. Record the lost reason.
Do I need a signed contract for a one-day hire?
Not a long contract, but a booking message or slip that states the site, the day, the basis of charge and who signs the hours. For larger jobs, a written work order from the builder. Your own lawyer can check the wording.
Do you help with the machines or only the marketing?
Only the marketing and sales side. Machines, operators, permissions and the digging remain your team's. We set up the pages, the enquiry record and the follow-up, and report calls against bookings.
Can marketing help in the monsoon months when the ground is wet?
It helps with the weeks after. Builders book machines before the ground dries, so the calls and the messages go out in the last weeks of the rains. Searches for farm ponds and drainage carry on through the wet season.
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 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.
