Software testing companies · CRM
Track each trial from the first enquiry to the second release.
A CRM for a testing company records who enquired, which domain they work in, what trial was offered and whether it led to a second release. GullySales works on the fields, stages and views so that your team can see where each opportunity stands.
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 software testing companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The trial is the real stage, not the proposal”
A testing deal turns on whether the one-release trial goes well and continues. A CRM with stages like proposal sent and negotiation hides the point where deals are won or lost. Make the trial and the second release stages of their own.
“Domain is a field that a standard CRM lacks”
Whether the lead is lending, claims, hospital software or e-commerce shapes which case to send and which tester to bring. If that sits only in someone's memory, the next follow-up is generic.
“Agencies and direct clients need different handling”
A studio that sends several clients behaves unlike a product firm buying for itself. Record the source of each opportunity and the agency behind it so that partner referrals can be thanked and measured.
“Procurement documents belong with the account”
Empanelment forms, signed confidentiality terms and security questionnaires get asked for again at each renewal. If they live in someone's inbox, the account manager rebuilds them every time.
What we do
What we deliver for software testing companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A stage design for trial-led selling
Stages from enquiry to scoped trial, trial running, report delivered, second release and engagement, each with an exit rule.
Result: A pipeline that mirrors the way your deals actually move.
Fields for domain, role and source
Fields for the domain, the role of the contact, whether it came via an agency and the release date at stake.
Result: A list view you can filter by domain or by agency.
A document attachment routine
A place on each account for the empanelment pack, confidentiality terms and security answers.
Result: Account pages where a procurement request can be answered from one place.
Views for the sales lead
Saved views for trials running, reports awaiting feedback and accounts with no contact since a given date.
Result: Views that the sales lead opens in a review meeting.
An import from current records
A one-time clean-up of the contacts in spreadsheets and email into the chosen CRM.
Result: One list of contacts with duplicates merged and the fields filled.
A short guide for testers
A page for test leads on what to note after a call with a client, in their own words.
Result: Notes from the delivery side that reach the account record.
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.

- 1
Map the sales process
We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.
- 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.
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.
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.
Step 2
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
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.
