Lost the original file when you sell to wholesalers
Could you find the file your current list came from? Here is how people who sell to wholesalers fix it.
Could you find the file your current list came from?
After a few rounds of editing, nobody knows what the original list looked like or where it came from. When something looks wrong, there is nothing to check it against.
It hits harder when you sell to wholesalers. Wholesalers buy in bulk from producers and sell to retailers, trades or hospitality, with owners, buyers and warehouse managers each involved in decisions. They look for new product lines, better logistics and tools that handle many orders with a small team.
Errors cannot be traced back to their source. You also lose proof of where your data came from.
The original file stays with every import.
Riftjaw keeps the original import file attached to each import. You can get the original file back whenever you need it. Every record also keeps its source and date.
- Fields that fit wholesalers, such as product categories
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, sales@, orders@ and buying@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
How to fix it in Riftjaw
- Import as usual. The uploaded file is stored with the import automatically.
- Open the import. Find the import in your history when you need to check something.
- Get the file back. Retrieve the original file exactly as it was uploaded.
Other walls when prospecting wholesalers
Orders@ addresses are flooded with customer orders.
Choose buying@ or info@ as prefixes instead, and add your own where it fits.
Wholesaler lists span unrelated categories.
Tag categories and save a filter per tag, so each campaign fits the product range.
Buyers ask for samples and pricing, and follow-ups slip.
Tags such as samples sent and notes with dates keep follow-ups on track.
Fields worth recording for wholesalers
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for wholesalers.
| 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. |
| Product categories | Food, building materials or consumer goods each need a different pitch. |
| Customer type | Selling to retail, trade or hospitality changes their needs. |
| Warehouses | Multiple sites mean larger logistics needs. |
| Order system | Shows whether they take orders online or by phone. |
| Buyer | The person who decides on new product lines. |

Yes. Use a tag and a note with the date, then filter on the tag when it is time to follow up.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, orders@ and buying@, 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.
