Warehousing and fulfilment providers · Customer retention
Notice the client whose orders are falling before his contract comes up for renewal.
Customer retention for a warehousing provider means keeping brands after the first contract: reading their volumes, answering complaints in writing and starting the renewal conversation before they start comparing. GullySales builds the review and the follow-up from your own invoices and dispatch records.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
What customer retention means
Customer retention is keeping an existing customer buying again rather than losing them to a competitor after the first purchase, usually cheaper than winning a new customer. GullySales sets a routine of check-ins and renewal reminders aimed at customers before they show signs of leaving.

For warehousing and fulfilment providers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A client leaves quietly at the end of the lock-in”
No complaint and no call. The brand gives notice, having spoken to two other providers over the last few months.
“Growth is not noticed, so it is not served”
A client doubling in volume strains your floor and his patience. Nobody wrote to him about more space before the strain arrived.
“Problems are solved by phone and forgotten”
A mis-shipment sorted in a call leaves no record, so the pattern appears only when the brand leaves.
What we do
What we deliver for warehousing and fulfilment providers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A volume sheet for each client
Orders and pallet positions from your invoices set beside what the contract assumed.
Result: Falling and rising clients stand out.
A renewal diary
Contract end, notice period and review date for every client, with an owner against each.
Result: No renewal arrives unplanned.
A written exception log
Each mis-shipment, stock difference and delayed dispatch with its cause and the action taken, shared with the client.
Result: Complaints become a record the client can read.
A business review for the founder
A short written review of volumes, accuracy, returns and changes on the floor, discussed in person.
Result: The client sees what you did for him.
A lapsed-client list
Brands that left, when and why, with a call planned for those who left on good terms.
Result: Some come back.
An expansion prompt to the account manager
A note when a client's volume rises or he adds a product line, proposing space and staff before the strain.
Result: More space is offered before a rival offers it.
How the result is measured
- Retention rate
- Repeat purchase rate
- Customers won back
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Work it out from your records
The retention figures a warehousing provider can work out from its invoices, contracts and exception log.
- Volume per client from your invoices
- List each client's invoiced storage and orders by period from billing. Put the contract assumption beside it. A steady fall is a conversation to start, not a figure to file.
- Share of revenue by client
- Divide each client's billing by total billing from the ledger. If one brand carries the business, put its renewal date at the top of the review.
- Complaints and exceptions per client
- Count mis-shipments, stock differences and late dispatches in the exception log, then divide by the client's orders. Compare a client with his own earlier periods, not with another client.
- Clients who left, and when
- From the contract file, list clients who ended over the last year, with start date, end date and reason. Note whether they left at the end of the lock-in.
- Renewals due and not yet discussed
- Sort contracts by end date and mark the ones with no review meeting recorded. Call those first.
- Clients who grew and were not offered more
- Match clients whose orders rose against the register of proposals. Where no proposal exists, write one.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
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.

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.

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.

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.
