No time for outreach when you sell to veterinary practices
When did you last send outreach during a busy week? Here is how people who sell to veterinary practices fix it.
When did you last send outreach during a busy week?
Client work always comes first, so prospecting only happens when things are quiet. Writing and sending emails one by one takes hours you do not have.
It hits harder when you sell to veterinary practices. Veterinary practices range from single surgeries to large groups with many branches, and some focus on farm animals or horses rather than pets. Independent practices decide locally, while group owned practices often buy through head office.
Your pipeline empties while you are busy and you feel it a few months later. Quiet periods start with an empty list.
Write once, send in small batches.
Write a campaign once with placeholders such as {first_name|there} and {company}. Pick a segment as audience and Riftjaw sends it from the server in small batches, also when your browser is closed. Add up to 5 follow-ups and they go out the number of days later that you choose. Opens and clicks show up on each contact record.
- Fields that fit veterinary practices, such as animals treated
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, reception@, enquiries@ and admin@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
Fixing it in Riftjaw
- Choose a segment. Select the group of companies you want to reach.
- Write with placeholders. Use company and name placeholders with a fallback.
- Start and step away. Let the campaign run in small batches while you work.
Other walls when prospecting veterinary practices
Independent practices and corporate groups look alike online.
Add an Independent or group field so you can reach head office for group sites and the practice owner for independents.
Small animal, farm and equine practices need completely different offers.
Record Animals treated in a field and save a filter per type.
Practice managers juggle many suppliers and forget your earlier mail.
Contact history keeps every mail, open and note, so your follow-up can refer back clearly.
Fields worth recording for veterinary practices
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for veterinary practices.
| 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. |
| Animals treated | Small animal, farm and equine practices buy very different things. |
| Independent or group | Group practices often buy centrally. |
| Out of hours service | Practices running emergency care need staff and cover. |
| Number of branches | Shows the scale of any supply or software deal. |
| Practice manager | The person who usually handles suppliers. |
Questions people ask
Yes, if their website or listing says so. Record it in an Animals treated field and save a filter on it.
Often decisions are made at group level. Tag branches with their group and target head office contacts in a separate segment.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, reception@, enquiries@ and admin@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
