Selling their own specialist services to electricians
Electrical contractors range from one person domestic firms to commercial contractors with site teams and estimators. Small firms buy through the owner, while larger ones often have an office manager or contracts manager who handles suppliers and software.
Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.
Every month you do not reach electricians 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 freelancers run into with electricians
Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.
Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.
You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.
Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.
Domestic and commercial electricians sit in the same directory lists, so one message rarely fits both.
Add a Domestic or commercial field, fill it during import and save a filter for each so every campaign stays relevant.
Lists from certification registers and directories overlap heavily.
Riftjaw checks each import against your lead file and flags duplicates before you publish, so the same firm is not mailed twice.
A week of prospecting in Riftjaw
Monday: collect
Export a batch of electricians from public listings and import it. Duplicates are skipped.
Tuesday: fill in
Derive missing emails with info@, office@, admin@ and enquiries@ and tag the records that look like a fit.
Wednesday: reach
Send one mail about your their own specialist services 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.
Angles that work with electricians
Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with electricians.
- Talk about the certificates and test paperwork that follow every job, and how your offer makes that part faster.
- Point to new work streams such as car chargers, solar and battery storage, where electricians want reliable suppliers.
- For commercial contractors, focus on tenders, compliance records and keeping site teams busy.
Fields worth recording for electricians
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for electricians.
| 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. |
| Domestic or commercial | The type of work decides which products and messages are relevant. |
| EV charger work | Firms that fit car chargers are a clear audience for charger brands and suppliers. |
| Certification scheme | Membership of a scheme hints at size and at the paperwork they deal with. |
| Service area | Lets you plan outreach by region or by branch territory. |
| Decision maker | Note whether you deal with the owner or an office manager. |
Questions people ask
Common sources are map listings, trade directories and the public registers of certification schemes. You collect the list yourself, for example with a scraper export or the paste and collect tool, and import it into Riftjaw.
Yes, if the information is on their listing or website. Record it in a field or a tag and save a filter on it, which you can then use as the audience of a campaign.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, office@, admin@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
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.
