What happens to your leads the day you cancel?

Some tools rent you access to contacts or make it hard to take your work with you. Your notes, statuses and lists stay behind when the subscription ends.

It hits harder when you sell 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.

Every month you invest more work into a list you do not really own. Switching tools later means starting over.

Your data, exportable at any moment.

In Riftjaw you build your own lead database on your account's own server. You can export contacts to CSV at any time, all at once or per segment. Form entries and original import files come back out too, including on the day you leave.

  • Fields that fit locksmiths, such as emergency service
  • Email prefixes that fit, like info@, enquiries@ and hello@
  • Status, tags and a segment on every record

Other walls when prospecting locksmiths

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.

Many locksmiths never answer email from unknown senders.

Keep phone numbers in the same record, tag contacts once you have called, and follow up by mail only where it makes sense.

Fields worth recording for locksmiths

Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.

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.
