Companies in your own area
Turn a list of businesses nearby into a file you keep working, year after year.
- One file of companies in your area, kept for years
- Filter on town or region as a normal field
- Know who you called, mailed and quoted
Good business customers are already around the corner
A cleaning company wants offices and dental practices. A plumber wants property managers and schools. A roofer wants business parks and housing associations. The companies are a few streets away. The hard part is keeping track of them.
Most service businesses do this from memory or a spreadsheet the office manager started three years ago. Riftjaw turns that into one lead file you keep working. Every company is a record with a status, notes and the history of every email you sent, so next year you pick up where you stopped.
- A status like Contacted, Replied or Customer
- Tags such as quote in spring or already called
- Every mail, open and click on one company page
Sound familiar?
You get most work through word of mouth and the calendar has gaps in the quiet months.
Build a file of business customers now and mail a segment before a quiet month starts.
You found a directory of local companies, but it is a web page, not a list.
Copy the page into paste and collect and send the rows to import. Riftjaw does not crawl the web.
Half the companies only list a website, no email.
Tick info@ or office@ and addresses are derived from the domain. They are guesses based on common patterns, so treat them that way.
You cannot remember which property manager already said no.
Set the status to Contacted or Replied, add a note and tag them already called, so they never land in the next mailing.
A week with Riftjaw for a service business
An hour or two a week is enough. The file gets better every time you open it.
Add the companies you know
Import the spreadsheet you already have and a list from a local directory. Put the town or region in a field, so you can filter on it later.
Fill in what is missing
Derive emails from websites for rows without one. Your existing email column always wins.
Pick an area and a type
Keep a segment per area and type, like Offices in town, Property managers in the region or Schools and care homes. Add companies to it in bulk, or save a filter such as City contains Leeds.
Send a short, local email
Write once with {company} and a line about the area you work in. It goes out in small batches of 10, with up to 5 follow-ups if you want them.
Call the ones who clicked
Every click on the button shows up in activities. Call the ones who clicked and set a tag like quote in spring.

Questions from service businesses
No. Riftjaw does not search the web for companies. The town or region is simply a field in your lead file, and you filter on it like any other field.
From lists you already have, directories, trade association pages or a scraper export. Paste and collect helps you turn a web page into rows.
Start on Free: one list and small campaigns, enough to test it on your own town. When you want several lead files and bigger mailings, Pro is 24 per month. Compare the plans on the pricing page.
In many cases cold B2B email is possible under legitimate interest, with a clear way to opt out. Read our guide on GDPR and cold email; it is not legal advice.
If you can fill in a spreadsheet, you can use Riftjaw. It is a website you log in to, nothing to set up on your own machine.
Yes. Users are unlimited, so everyone who answers the phone can see the same records.
