Selling their own specialist services to security companies

Security companies provide guarding, alarm monitoring, CCTV and access control to businesses and homes. Guarding firms focus on staff and scheduling, while systems firms care about equipment, fitting and monitoring contracts, so the right pitch depends on which type you reach.

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.

The security companies that need their own specialist services are listed publicly. What most freelancers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What freelancers run into with security companies

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.

Guarding firms and alarm fitters share the same category on most directories.

Add a Guarding or systems field and save a filter for each, so equipment offers never reach guarding firms.

Approved registers and directories give you overlapping lists.

Import both into the same lead file and let Riftjaw flag duplicates in the file and against existing records.

What to say to security companies

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets security companies to click.

  • For guarding firms, lead with shift planning and filling last minute gaps.
  • For systems firms, talk about reliable stock, remote monitoring and recurring service revenue.
  • Mention the compliance paperwork clients expect, and how your offer makes it simpler.

Fields worth recording for security companies

Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for security companies.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
Guarding or systemsThe two sides of the industry buy completely different things.
Monitoring centreFirms with their own monitoring buy software and connectivity.
Sectors servedRetail, construction and events each have their own demands.
Licensed staffGuarding firms depend on licensed people and training.

Questions people ask

Yes. Record the type in a field during research, then use a saved filter on that field as your campaign audience.

Approved contractor registers, industry association lists and map listings are common public sources. You gather them yourself and import them as CSV or Excel.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, office@ 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.
