Selling office and commercial cleaning contracts to cafes

Cafes are often owner operated with a small team, and the owner is usually behind the counter or the coffee machine. They buy coffee, milk, cakes and equipment regularly, and switching supplier depends on taste, service and a good personal relationship.

Commercial cleaning companies grow by winning contracts with offices, shops and other premises in their area. A lead database of local businesses lets you approach them in a planned way and follow up when their current contract may be up for renewal.

The cafes that need office and commercial cleaning contracts are listed publicly. What most commercial cleaning companies lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What commercial cleaning companies run into with cafes

Finding the right contact at each business in your area takes a lot of searching.

Derive role addresses such as info@ and office@ from their websites without credits.

You cover certain towns and want to target only those.

Give each area you serve its own segment, or record the town as a field and save a filter on it.

Cafes and restaurants blur together in scraped listings.

Use a field for business type and a saved filter so your cafe campaign only reaches cafes.

Owners reply by phone or in person, so email history is incomplete.

Add notes to the contact after every call or visit and update the status by hand.

What to say to cafes

Pick one angle per campaign and write it once, with placeholders like {company|your team} for the details.

  • Offer a tasting or a sample, because cafe owners decide with their palate.
  • Talk about consistency and reliable delivery, since running out of beans or milk costs a morning of trade.
  • Point to something local, such as a nearby roaster or producer, which cafes like to promote.

Import a list of cafes from public listings, add fields for coffee brand and machine, and put the cafes not using your beans yet in their own segment. Then send a short campaign offering a tasting.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, coffee@ and orders@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
