Interior fit-out contractors · CRM

Keep every tender, quote and consultant contact in one place, not in three partners' phones.

A CRM for an interior fit-out contractor is a shared record of each project enquiry, each quote and each consultant relationship, so anyone in the company can pick up the conversation. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habit of recording them, in a spreadsheet first and software when it is needed.

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 interior fit-out contractors

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

  • “The relationship lives in one partner's phone”

    The consultant's number, the last conversation and the promise made at the site visit sit in one phone. If he is travelling, nobody can reply.

  • “Quote versions lose track”

    Three revisions of a quotation, two sets of drawings and a verbal change: nobody can say which one the client is looking at.

  • “Lost bids teach nothing”

    A quote that failed is forgotten. Nobody can say whether price, scope, schedule or a relationship decided it.

What we do

What we deliver for interior fit-out contractors.

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

  1. A project enquiry record

    One line or card per enquiry, with the client, consultant, space type, area, location, drawing status and quote due date.

    Result: Every enquiry has the same facts recorded.

  2. A contact record for consultants

    Firm, person, projects done together, the last contact and what is pending.

    Result: A relationship is not held in one head.

  3. Stages for the pipeline

    Enquiry, site visit, quote sent, negotiation, awarded, lost and on hold, each with a clear meaning.

    Result: You can see where projects stall.

  4. A quote version log

    The quote number, version, date, inclusions, exclusions and who received it, kept with the enquiry.

    Result: You know which quote the client means.

  5. A reason-lost field

    A short list: price, scope, schedule, relationship, postponed, plus one line in words.

    Result: Losses start to teach you something.

  6. A report against the baseline

    Invitations, quotes sent, quotes won and lost by reason, set beside the baseline recorded before the work began.

    Result: You can see where work is won and lost.

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.

What to record, and when

These are the things worth writing down at each point in a fit-out enquiry.

On the first call: the project facts
Record the client, the consultant, the space type, the area, the location, the drawing status and the date the quote is due. These decide whether you bid, so write them before anything else.
After the site visit: what you saw
Note the existing conditions, the building's rules and the queries raised. Attach the photographs and the visit date, so the estimator prices what the visitor saw.
When the quote goes out: version and assumptions
Record the quote number, the version, the date, the inclusions and exclusions and who received it. When a client says 'your last quote', you know which one he means.
At each follow-up: who said what
Record the date, the person spoken to, what was asked and the next step with an owner. A partner who was not on the call should be able to continue it.
When it ends: won, lost or on hold
Pick the reason from a short list: price, scope, schedule, relationship, postponed. Add one line in words. The reasons for a loss are the most useful column you will keep.
Do you need software yet?
A shared spreadsheet is enough while enquiries are few and one or two people update it. Move to a CRM when versions get lost or when you want reminders for follow-ups, not before.

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 crm work runs

  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.

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.

Should a small contractor use a spreadsheet or a CRM?
Start with a shared sheet with fixed columns and a dropdown for the stage. Move to a CRM when more than two people update it or follow-ups are missed. A CRM nobody updates is worse than a sheet people do.
Our site engineers will not update anything. What do we do?
Do not ask them to. Make the estimator or an office coordinator the keeper, and have the engineer send photographs and a message after each visit. The engineer's job is to see, and the keeper's job is to write it down.
What about conversations on WhatsApp with consultants?
Treat the chat as the source and the record as the summary. After a decision or a change of scope in a chat, write a line in the enquiry record with the date. Do not depend on scrolling a chat for a figure.
Who owns the data if a partner leaves?
The company does, and the record should sit in an account the company controls, not in a personal sheet or phone. Set it up that way from the start, with more than one person holding admin access.
Can we show photographs of completed projects?
With the client's written permission. Many corporate clients restrict photography of their premises, so the consent should be specific.
Can we name our clients?
Only with their permission. Some will allow the project to be shown without the name.
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.
