Cloud hosting providers · CRM

Put every trial, migration enquiry and renewal in one record with a name beside it.

A CRM for a cloud host is the shared record of every trial, enquiry, partner and paid account, with the next step and its owner. GullySales works on setting up the fields, stages and rules in your CRM or a simple sheet so engineers and sales read the same facts.

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 hosting providers

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

  • “The billing system is not a CRM”

    Your billing platform knows who pays. It does not know who tested last week, what they were moving or why they stopped. Without a record of that, each engineer keeps private notes and a returning prospect gets asked the same questions twice.

  • “A trial needs a stage, not just a status”

    Active, idle and expired describe the account. A useful record also says what the buyer is testing, whether a technical person has spoken to them and what the contract end date is on the old host. Those fields drive the next call.

  • “Partner credit goes missing without a field”

    When an agency refers a client and the sign-up form has no referrer field, the credit is lost. The agency stops sending clients, and nobody can say why the partner channel went quiet.

  • “Upgrade signals sit in usage data nobody reads”

    A customer close to a plan limit is a warm conversation, but only if someone sees it. Linking usage notes to the account record means the account owner raises the upgrade before the customer shops elsewhere.

What we do

What we deliver for cloud hosting providers.

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

  1. Fields and stages built for hosting

    A record layout with workload, current host, data size, contract end and referrer, plus stages from trial to migration to paid.

    Result: A new trial row holds the facts your engineer needs to open a call.

  2. An account owner rule

    A written rule naming who owns each trial and each paid account, and who covers when the owner is away.

    Result: No row on the sheet is without a named owner.

  3. Import of existing sign-ups

    Cleaning and loading your current sign-ups and customers, with duplicates merged and sources tagged where known.

    Result: Your first view of the CRM already shows the full account base.

  4. Partner tracking

    A field and a short view showing which agency referred which account and what it has become.

    Result: You can tell each agency how many of its referrals stayed.

  5. A usage-note routine for account owners

    A simple habit and field for recording plan-limit notices and upgrade conversations against the account.

    Result: Every upgrade conversation leaves a note on the account.

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.

Tell us what you need
Do we need a paid CRM tool?
Not to begin. A well-built sheet with the right fields works for a small team. Move to a CRM such as HubSpot or Zoho when the volume of trials makes the sheet slow, and carry the same fields across.
Can the CRM read data from our platform?
Your engineers can connect sign-ups and usage to the CRM. Decide first which facts the account owner needs, then ask your developers what can be sent across. Avoid copying everything.
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.
