Copying from directory pages when you sell to cleaning companies
Are you still copying company names from a web page one by one? Here is how people who sell to cleaning companies fix it.
Are you still copying company names from a web page one by one?
A directory or member list shows exactly the companies you want, but there is no export button. Copying every name, website and phone number by hand takes forever.
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.
Useful lists stay on the page because turning them into rows is too much work. Manual copying also introduces errors.
Paste a page, get rows.
With paste and collect you paste the HTML of a page you opened yourself into Riftjaw. You pick the repeating blocks, turn them into rows and send them to import. Riftjaw does not crawl the web; you supply the page.
- 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
Fixing it in Riftjaw

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
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for cleaning companies.
| 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. |
| Domestic or commercial | Commercial cleaners buy in larger volumes and have different needs. |
| Specialist services | Window, carpet or deep cleaning each need their own equipment. |
| Sectors served | Offices, healthcare and schools come with different standards. |
| Operations contact | Larger firms have a manager who handles suppliers. |
| Contract based | Firms 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.
