Database in Riftjaw with active contacts, segment, lead file and source

Selling business energy contracts and procurement advice to car dealers

Car dealers range from independent used car lots to franchised dealerships with separate sales, service and parts teams. Independents decide quickly through the owner, while franchise groups often buy centrally and follow manufacturer rules.

Energy brokers find business customers through calls, referrals and partners who pass on leads. A lead database of your own lets you record contract end dates and approach each company when a switch is actually possible.

The car dealers that need business energy contracts and procurement advice are listed publicly. What most energy brokers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What energy brokers run into with car dealers

Lead lists bought from third parties are shared with many other brokers.

Build your own list from public sources and keep it private on your own server.

You lose track of when each contract ends.

Add a date field for contract end and filter on it to see who is due soon.

Independent lots and franchised dealers need very different offers.

Add a Franchised or independent field and save a filter for each group.

Dealer groups show up many times, once per site.

Keep a Dealer group field and tag head office contacts, so you know when to talk to the group instead of each site.

Fields worth recording for car dealers

Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.

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.
Franchised or independent	Franchise dealers often buy through a group or follow brand rules.
Brands sold	Shows which manufacturers they represent.
Stock size	A rough sense of stock tells you how much marketing they need.
Workshop on site	Dealers with a workshop also buy parts and service tools.
Dealer group	Tells you whether decisions are made at head office.

Questions people ask

Should I contact each dealership site or the group?

For group owned sites, decisions are often made centrally. Record the group in a field and put head office contacts in their own segment for those offers.

Can I record which brands a dealer sells?

Yes. Add a Brands sold field to your lead file and save filters on it.

How do I get email addresses for car dealers in your area?

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

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
