Forgot who was contacted when you sell to solar companies
Are you sure you did not email that company last month? Here is how people who sell to solar companies fix it.
Are you sure you did not email that company last month?
Without a clear record you cannot tell who you already contacted, who replied and who said no. You end up guessing or searching your sent folder.
It hits harder when you sell to solar companies. Solar companies design and fit panels, batteries and related systems for homes and businesses. Many are growing firms with a sales team and fitting crews, so they buy lead generation, finance options, equipment and software to keep both sides busy.
Writing to the same company twice looks careless and can cost you the deal. Warm replies go cold because nobody followed up.
One status and full history per company.
Every contact in Riftjaw has a status: New, Contacted, Replied or Customer. The record keeps a history of every mail, open, click and form entry. Notes and your own tags sit right next to it.
- Fields that fit solar companies, such as batteries offered
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, sales@, hello@ and enquiries@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
The fix, step by step
- Open the record. See the status, notes and every mail sent to this contact.
- Update the status. Move the contact from New to Contacted, Replied or Customer.
- Tag what matters. Add tags such as warm, cold or already called.
Other walls when prospecting solar companies
Solar firms change fast, so lists go out of date.
Every record keeps its source and date, and you can archive firms that closed or merged so they are no longer mailed.
Battery specialists and panel only fitters need different offers.
Add a Batteries offered field and save a filter on it, then write a campaign for each group.
A sales led market means many other suppliers mail them too.
Use placeholders for the company name and a personal detail field so each message reads like it was written for them.
Fields worth recording for solar companies
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for solar 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. |
| Batteries offered | Firms fitting storage need different stock and training. |
| Commercial projects | Commercial roofs mean bigger orders and longer sales cycles. |
| Accreditation | Registered firms can offer schemes that many customers ask for. |
| Sales team | Firms with salespeople buy CRM and lead tools. |
| Brands used | Shows which panel and inverter makers they work with. |

Yes. Record it in a field or tag during your research and save a filter on it that you use as the campaign audience.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, hello@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
