HRMS providers · CRM

Track each account from first enquiry to the first successful payroll run.

A CRM for an HRMS provider records every company, every contact, the demo, the trial and the stage of the rollout in one place. GullySales sets up a pipeline that follows your actual sales steps, including the finance and CA conversations that decide deals.

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 HRMS providers

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

  • “One company, many contacts”

    The HR manager, finance head and CA each speak to your team at different times. A CRM that holds one name per company loses the thread, and the second demo starts again from nothing.

  • “The trial needs its own stages”

    A company that signed up is not the same as one that uploaded employees, and neither is the same as one that ran a test payroll. Separate stages show where trials stall and who needs a call.

  • “Lost reasons are the product roadmap”

    If every lost deal is marked simply as lost, you learn nothing. A reason such as state not covered, no biometric integration or price shows the product and marketing teams what to fix.

  • “Renewals begin on day one”

    A customer whose first payroll went badly will not renew, and the account manager hears only at the end. Logging the first payroll run and any complaint inside the same record gives the renewal call something to build on.

What we do

What we deliver for HRMS providers.

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

  1. A pipeline built on your sales steps

    Stages from enquiry through demo, finance review, trial, test payroll, signing and first live payroll.

    Result: A pipeline each salesperson can read at a glance.

  2. Company and contact records

    Fields for headcount, workforce type, states, present method and every role involved in the decision.

    Result: Each account shows who has been spoken to and who has not.

  3. Lost-deal reasons

    A short, agreed list of reasons, with a rule that none is left blank.

    Result: A reason on every closed-lost deal.

  4. Source and CA tracking

    Each lead tagged by search, review site, group, event or referral, with the CA's name where one is involved.

    Result: You can see which accountants bring in business.

  5. Reminders and a tidy-up routine

    Rules for task reminders, stale-deal reviews and cleaning duplicate companies.

    Result: A routine that keeps the data usable.

  6. Hand-over to onboarding

    A record that passes the buyer's goals, states and concerns to the person running the rollout.

    Result: The onboarding lead starts with the sales notes in hand.

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.

Fields worth keeping

What an HRMS provider records on each account before and after the trial.

Headcount and locations
Filled by the salesperson at qualification. It sets the plan, the demo type and the onboarding effort the team must plan for.
Roles in the buying group
Filled by the salesperson as each person appears: HR, finance, CA, supervisor. A deal with no finance contact is flagged as at risk.
Trial status and data uploaded
Filled by the onboarding person. It shows whether the buyer loaded employees and ran a test payroll, or only logged in.
Lost reason
Chosen from a short list by the salesperson, with a free note. Patterns in it point to a missing feature or a pricing doubt.
Referring CA or partner
Filled at lead entry. It lets you thank the source and see which advisers bring accounts that stay.

Who it is for

This is written for these HRMS providers.

  • HRMS and payroll software products for small and mid-sized companies
  • Attendance and shift software for factories and warehouses
  • Field force tracking and attendance apps for sales teams
  • Payroll software sold through CAs and payroll consultants
  • Recruitment and onboarding software vendors
  • Performance and appraisal software firms
  • HR tech start-ups selling to Indian startups and IT companies
  • Reseller partners of larger HR platforms

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The sales team is of one or two people who share a single spreadsheet well, so a new system would add work without gain.
  • You have no stages defined for your own sale, so a CRM would store contacts without showing where each deal stands.
  • Nobody has agreed who updates the trial status, so the record would show accounts as active when the buyer has gone quiet.

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 sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

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.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM should we use?
The one your team will actually update. Check that it handles several contacts per company and custom stages. GullySales can set up the pipeline in the tool you already own before suggesting a new one.
Should we use our own HRMS as the CRM?
An HRMS is built for employees, not for prospects. Use a proper sales tool for the pipeline, though you may keep a link to the customer's account in your own product for support.
How do we get salespeople to update it?
Make the stages match how they already sell, keep the fields few and have the pipeline review run from the CRM itself. People update a tool that the manager actually reads.
How do we keep employee data out of the sales CRM?
Store only the company's headcount and contact roles in the sales record. Employee names, salaries and identity numbers belong in the product, with access limited to the onboarding team. Say this in your internal rules so no one pastes a payroll file into a CRM note.
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.
