Cloud consulting companies · CRM

Record each platform contact, sponsor and assessment so no follow-on is forgotten.

A CRM for a cloud consulting company is the shared record of buyers, sponsors, platform contacts and assessments, and what each is waiting for. GullySales works on the fields, the stages and the habits that make the record useful to partners and architects alike.

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 cloud consulting companies

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

  • “Relationships are the asset”

    Your next project may come from a CTO you advised two years ago or a platform manager who moved teams. Without a record of who knows whom and what was said, that knowledge leaves with the person.

  • “A deal has several people”

    An assessment has a sponsor, a technical owner, a budget holder and sometimes a security reviewer. A record holding only one name per company hides the person who can stop the work.

  • “Assessments need their own stages”

    A cloud sale does not move like a product sale. Scoping, access, review, findings and the closing session are real steps, and a record built for generic stages cannot show where an assessment stalled.

  • “Architects will not fill long forms”

    The people who learn the most on a call are engineers, and they avoid heavy data entry. The record must ask for little, at the right moment, or the notes stay in private notebooks.

What we do

What we deliver for cloud consulting companies.

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

  1. Stages for the assessment journey

    A set of stages from first enquiry through scoping, review, findings and follow-on proposal, with a rule for moving a deal forward.

    Result: Anyone can see where each assessment stands.

  2. Fields for the people in a deal

    Fields for sponsor, technical owner, budget holder and platform contact, with a note on what each cares about.

    Result: No deal sits with only one name.

  3. Platform contact record

    A section for account managers and partner development contacts, with what each knows about your strengths and the last conversation.

    Result: A record of which platform relationships are active.

  4. Light entry routine for architects

    A short routine of a few fields after each call, designed to take little effort, with the rest filled by the business team.

    Result: Notes reach the record without a long form.

  5. Tool selection and set-up

    Help choosing and configuring a CRM such as HubSpot or Zoho CRM, with only the fields you will use.

    Result: A working record and a short guide for your team.

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. 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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which CRM should a cloud consulting firm use?
One your team will actually update. HubSpot and Zoho CRM are both in ordinary use in India, and either works if the stages and fields suit your assessments. We recommend after seeing how you sell.
Can the CRM show projects won from assessments?
Yes, if each assessment is recorded as a deal with a link to any follow-on project. That connection must be entered by someone, so we make it a step at the closing session.
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 long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
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.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
