Selling products and services to other businesses to opticians

Opticians combine eye care with retail, selling frames, lenses and contact lenses alongside eye tests. Independents decide on frames, equipment and marketing themselves, while chain branches usually follow central buying.

Sales teams often work from rented contact data, personal spreadsheets and a CRM that nobody fills in properly. A shared lead database gives everyone the same list, the same statuses and one place to see what happened with each company.

Every month you do not reach opticians 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 sales teams run into with opticians

Each rep keeps a private list, so two people call the same company.

Work in one shared database with unlimited users on an account and see the status of every company before you reach out.

Per seat and per credit pricing makes it expensive to add people.

Riftjaw charges no credits and no per record fees, and every user on the account is included.

Chain branches dominate directory lists but cannot choose suppliers.

Add an Independent or chain field and save a filter for independents only.

Frame reps need to know which brands a practice already carries.

Keep a Frame brands stocked field and notes on each contact, shared with the whole team.

Questions people ask

How do I avoid emailing chain branches?

Add an Independent or chain field while you review records, then save a filter for independents only.

Can I record the brands an optician already stocks?

Yes. Add a text field such as Frame brands stocked and use it in saved filters or placeholders.

How do I get email addresses for opticians 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@, hello@, enquiries@ and appointments@, 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.
