Selling products and stock in bulk to trade customers to locksmiths

Most locksmiths are sole traders or very small teams who work from a van and take many urgent calls. Being found fast online matters a great deal to them, and they buy locks, tools and security products from a small group of trusted suppliers.

Wholesale suppliers find new trade customers through sales reps, trade fairs and existing accounts. A lead database of the businesses you could supply helps you plan outreach per region or sector and track who became a customer.

The locksmiths that need products and stock in bulk to trade customers are listed publicly. What most wholesale suppliers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What wholesale suppliers run into with locksmiths

Lists from trade fairs and directories arrive in different formats.

Import CSV and Excel files from any source and map each column to your own fields.

It is hard to target only the businesses in one sector or area.

Save a filter on a field such as sector or region, or on a tag, and use it as a campaign audience.

Locksmith directories are full of call centres posing as local firms.

Tag records you have checked as genuine and archive the rest, so campaigns only reach real local businesses.

Auto locksmiths and door locksmiths need different messages.

A field for Auto locksmith lets you save two filters and send each its own campaign.

What to say to locksmiths

Pick one angle per campaign and write it once, with placeholders like {company|your team} for the details.

  • Talk about being found first in local search when someone is locked out, because that is where most of their work comes from.
  • For auto locksmiths, focus on vehicle key tools and programming kit.
  • Mention how missed calls while on a job mean lost work, and how your offer helps them answer every one.

Questions people ask

Look for a real address, a named owner and a website with local detail. Record what you find in a tag or field and archive records that do not look genuine.

Yes. Import each CSV or Excel file into the same lead file; Riftjaw flags duplicates in the file and against records you already have.

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