Dry fruit stores · CRM
Keep last year's hamper list in a system, not in a notebook.
A CRM for a dry fruit store is the record of who bought what, for which occasion, and when to write to them next. GullySales works on setting up a simple register, the fields worth keeping and the habit of updating it at the counter.
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 dry fruit stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The hamper notebook is the shop's best asset”
Last Diwali's gift list holds names, boxes and addresses. If it sits in one drawer, a staff change or a lost page loses a year of buyers. Type the old pages into one register this season, with the box and address against each name, and the list survives any change of staff.
“The usual order is a reason to return”
A household that buys the same almonds every few weeks is remembered by the shop, not by an app. Recording the usual lets any staff member greet them with it. Write the nut, the pack and the usual gap beside the name, so the person at the counter greets the buyer with the order before they ask.
“Corporate contacts change roles”
The admin head who ordered last year may have moved. A record that keeps the company, the role and the person lets you find the new contact. Record the role and the company with every contact, and when the person moves, a call to the company finds the new buyer.
“A long form kills the habit”
A system the counter staff will not fill is worse than a notebook. Keep the fields few: name, number, occasion, box, address and note. Keep to name, number, occasion, box, address and a one-line note, and the counter staff will fill it between customers without being chased.
What we do
What we deliver for dry fruit stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A simple register for buyers
Name, number, occasion, box, address and notes, in a tool the shop already uses.
Result: Every festival buyer is in one place.
Tags for household, gift, company and planner
A tag on each record by buyer type.
Result: You can list all company buyers in one view.
A counter routine
Who enters what at the time of billing.
Result: Entries are made at the counter, not later.
A festival reminder list
Last year's buyers for each occasion, ready before the booking date.
Result: You write to last year's buyers first.
A usual-order note for households
The nut, pack and usual gap between orders.
Result: Staff can greet the buyer with the usual.
Import of the old notebook
Typing the existing lists into the register once.
Result: Past years are not lost.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries logged in the CRM

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
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.

- 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.
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.
