Flower shops · Sales process
Turn a wedding quote request into a booked advance within one conversation.
A sales process for a flower shop is the fixed set of steps from an enquiry to a paid order. It differs for a same-day gift and a wedding booking, so nothing depends on which staff member happens to answer. GullySales writes both processes with your team and gives you the record to see where enquiries drop out.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 flower shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Same-day orders need speed, not a script”
A customer wanting delivery within the hour needs a fast confirmation of price, availability and delivery time. There should be no back and forth that risks losing the sale to a faster competitor.
“Wedding quotes need a portfolio and a follow-up date”
A couple quoted for their wedding flowers goes away to compare. Without a follow-up on day three and day seven, the enquiry is quietly lost to a florist who called back.
“An advance payment step protects the booking”
A wedding date is only truly secured once an advance is paid, and the process should move every serious enquiry to that step rather than leaving a verbal agreement open.
What we do
What we deliver for flower shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Fast same-day confirmation steps
A defined, quick sequence for confirming price, availability and delivery time on an urgent enquiry.
Result: An urgent buyer is confirmed before they think to call anywhere else.
Wedding quote and portfolio pairing
A rule that every wedding quote goes out together with matching portfolio photographs.
Result: A couple has something concrete to judge, not just a number.
Scheduled wedding follow-up steps
Defined follow-up points spaced across the days after a wedding quote is sent, rather than a single message.
Result: A quoted couple is not left to decide in silence.
Advance payment step
A defined point at which a wedding date is only confirmed once an advance has been paid.
Result: A booking is secured instead of resting on a verbal agreement.
Written enquiry checklist
A short checklist for each kind of enquiry so any staff member follows the same steps.
Result: The outcome does not depend on which staff member happens to answer.
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
Run a wedding order from the first message to the last setup in a fixed order.
- First message
- Ask the date, the venue, which functions need flowers, such as haldi, mehendi, wedding and reception, and the colour scheme. Record each function as a separate setup on the order.
- Venue walk-through
- Visit the hall or lawn with the decorator or venue manager. Note the entry points, the stage size and when the venue allows setup, and write the timing limit on the order.
- Photos and quote by function
- Send photos of your past mandap and stage work in their colours, with a quote split by function and by flower: marigold, roses, orchids, carnations. Note any flowers they asked to swap for cost.
- Booking against an advance
- Confirm the date only against an advance and a written list of setups. Record the balance due and when it is to be paid, before anything is ordered from the mandi.
- Ordering and setup day
- Order from the mandi or wholesaler against the confirmed list, and send the setup team with a printed plan for each function. Note any change the family asked for on the day.
- After the wedding
- Collect the balance, send photos of the setups and ask the family and the planner for a review. Record the planner's name for the next referral.

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.

The process is built into your CRM so it is enforced structurally, not just documented.
- 4
Train the team
Reps are trained on the new process and why each stage exists.

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.
