Selling services to businesses in their own region 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.
Local service businesses mostly grow through word of mouth, a vehicle with their name on it and a listing in a few directories. A lead database of nearby companies lets you approach the right businesses in your own area instead of waiting for the phone to ring.
The wholesalers that need services to businesses in their own region are listed publicly. What most local service businesses lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.
What local service businesses run into with wholesalers
You know which companies are nearby but have no organised list of them.
Paste a directory page into the scrape tool or import a list, then keep every company in one place with its own status.
Contact details on local websites are often just a web address.
Derive role addresses such as info@ and office@ from the domain with email from domain.
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 services to businesses in their own region 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.
