Deal desk services · Sales
Get a quote approved and out the door in a day instead of a week of forwarded emails.
A quote for a large or unusual deal often gets built from scratch and priced by instinct. It then gets forwarded around for approval to whoever the rep thinks needs to see it. If that person is travelling or simply slow to reply, the deal sits for a week while the buyer starts wondering if you actually want the business.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Deal desk services set up a clear process for building, pricing and approving quotes and proposals. A deal should never be stuck waiting on whoever happens to be free to sign off. GullySales builds the templates, sets discount and approval rules everyone understands, and gives your team one place to go when a deal needs a decision fast.
We build standard quote and proposal templates for your common deal types. Then we write down what discount a rep can give on their own, and what needs your signature. One path, one approver at each step. Unusual terms, a longer payment period or a custom scope, get a checklist instead of a guessing game.
This does not remove judgement from pricing decisions.
The problem
Does this sound like your business?
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“A discount needs three approvals and nobody knows who has the final say.”
The rep forwards the request to one person, who forwards it to another, and the deal waits while everyone assumes someone else will decide.
“Every quote is built from scratch.”
There is no template, so building one proposal takes hours that should have taken minutes, and every one looks slightly different.
“A deal is stuck waiting for sign-off from someone travelling.”
The one person who can approve a discount is unreachable for two days, and the buyer moves on in the meantime.
What we do
Everything that is included.
Each deliverable, and what it gets you. Nothing here is an extra.
Quote and proposal templates
Standard templates for your common deal types, so building a proposal takes minutes, not hours.
Approval workflow
A clear, written path a deal follows to get signed off, with named people responsible at each threshold.
Discount governance
Rules for what a rep can offer without approval, and what needs sign-off, applied consistently across the team.
Contract term checklist
A checklist for unusual terms, payment periods or custom scope, so these get handled consistently rather than case by case.
Deal desk point of contact
One place a rep can go with a question about pricing or approval, instead of guessing who to ask.
How the result is measured
- Time from quote request to approval
- Deals stuck awaiting a decision beyond a set time
- Proposals built from a standard template
- Discount consistency across similar deals
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Who it is for
This is written for you if these sound familiar.
- Businesses where quotes for larger or unusual deals take days to get approved
- Sales teams that build every proposal from scratch with no standard template
- Companies where discounting varies by rep, with no consistent rule
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Your deals are simple and standard priced, with no negotiation or approval needed; this adds process where none is required
- You have only one or two deals a month; a full deal desk process is more structure than the volume needs
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
The person on the first call does the work
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.
No guarantees we cannot keep
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.
One office, and we say so

Engagement options
Ways to work with us.
Pick the size of commitment that fits. Every option starts with your brief and a conversation.
Option 1
The conversation on its own
A call after you send your brief. It says honestly whether you need outside help, and many fixes are ones your own team can make.
Option 2
One fix, scoped
Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.
Option 3
An ongoing programme
We run the work, report against the baseline, and you renew on the numbers. The term and the reporting are agreed in writing first.
Option 4
Guidance for your own team or agency
We plan, brief and check the work of your in-house team or current agency, instead of replacing them.
