Selling advice and project based expertise to wholesalers
Wholesalers buy in bulk from producers and sell to retailers, trades or hospitality, with owners, buyers and warehouse managers each involved in decisions. They look for new product lines, better logistics and tools that handle many orders with a small team.
Consultants usually rely on their network and reputation to win new assignments. A focused lead database lets you reach a well chosen group of companies with a relevant message instead of waiting for introductions.
Every month you do not reach wholesalers with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.
What consultants run into with wholesalers
Your network runs out and you have no structured list of new prospects.
Build a lead file of the companies you want to work with, imported from any list you already have.
Outreach feels awkward when it looks like a mass mailing.
Placeholders and small batches keep each email personal and the volume modest.
Orders@ addresses are flooded with customer orders.
Choose buying@ or info@ as prefixes instead, and add your own where it fits.
Wholesaler lists span unrelated categories.
Tag categories and save a filter per tag, so each campaign fits the product range.
A week of prospecting in Riftjaw
Monday: collect
Export a batch of wholesalers from public listings and import it. Duplicates are skipped.
Tuesday: fill in
Derive missing emails with info@, sales@, orders@ and buying@ and tag the records that look like a fit.
Wednesday: reach
Send one mail about your advice and project based expertise to the new segment, in small batches.
Friday: follow up
Opens and clicks show up on each record. Set the ones who answered to Replied or Customer, so the follow-ups of the campaign skip them.
What to say to wholesalers
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets wholesalers to click.
- For brands: show margin and sell through, with a clear product sheet.
- For services: focus on order handling, picking accuracy and delivery times.
- Refer to their product range so the offer clearly fits their customers.
Fields worth recording for wholesalers
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Product categories | Food, building materials or consumer goods each need a different pitch. |
| Customer type | Selling to retail, trade or hospitality changes their needs. |
| Warehouses | Multiple sites mean larger logistics needs. |
| Order system | Shows whether they take orders online or by phone. |
| Buyer | The person who decides on new product lines. |

Yes. Use a tag and a note with the date, then filter on the tag when it is time to follow up.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, orders@ and buying@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
