Cannot target a niche when you sell to cleaning companies

Can you pull up only the dentists in one region in a few clicks? Here is how people who sell to cleaning companies fix it.

Contacts list in Riftjaw with company, phone, email, segment, campaigns and tags

Can you pull up only the dentists in one region in a few clicks?

A long list with every kind of business makes focused outreach hard. Filtering spreadsheets again for each campaign is tedious.

It hits harder when you sell to cleaning companies. Cleaning companies serve homes, offices, schools and other commercial sites, often with many part-time staff spread across contracts. Owners and operations managers care about margins, staff scheduling and winning the next contract, and they buy supplies in steady volume.

You send the same message to very different businesses and it fits none of them well. Focused offers never get sent.

Named segments, ready for a campaign.

In Riftjaw every contact you add and every import goes into a segment with its own name, like Dentists Leeds. A campaign asks which segment to reach first. Next to segments there are saved filters, rules such as city contains Leeds, which a campaign can reach too.

  • Fields that fit cleaning companies, such as domestic or commercial
  • Email prefixes that fit, like info@, office@, enquiries@ and accounts@
  • Status, tags and a segment on every record

Other walls when prospecting cleaning companies

Domestic cleaners and large contract firms sit on the same lists.

Use a Domestic or commercial field to split them and save a filter for each audience.

You want to reach operations managers, not only a generic inbox.

Keep a contact name and role in your lead file and use placeholders so the mail addresses them directly.

Several reps contact the same cleaning firms without knowing it.

Everyone works in the same account with unlimited users, and each contact shows its full mail history and notes.

Fields worth recording for cleaning companies

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

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.
Domestic or commercialCommercial cleaners buy in larger volumes and have different needs.
Specialist servicesWindow, carpet or deep cleaning each need their own equipment.
Sectors servedOffices, healthcare and schools come with different standards.
Operations contactLarger firms have a manager who handles suppliers.
Contract basedFirms on fixed contracts care about scheduling and staff tracking.

Questions people ask

Public tender award notices and business directories often show this. Collect the information yourself, import it and record it in a field.

Info@, office@ and enquiries@ are common. Email from domain lets you tick several prefixes at once and add your own, but the results are guesses rather than verified addresses.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, office@, enquiries@ and accounts@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
