Team works in separate lists when you sell to construction companies

Does your colleague know you already called that company? Here is how people who sell to construction companies fix it.

Contacts list in Riftjaw with company, phone, email, segment, campaigns and tags

Does your colleague know you already called that company?

Each person on the team keeps a private list or sheet. Nobody sees the full picture of who was contacted and what they said.

It hits harder when you sell to construction companies. Construction companies build and refurbish housing, commercial and public buildings, with project managers, estimators and buyers alongside site teams. Buying decisions are often split between a procurement contact and the people running each project, so reaching the right role matters.

Two people approach the same company and prospects notice. Knowledge walks out the door when someone leaves.

One shared database, unlimited users.

Riftjaw gives the team one shared lead database with unlimited users on an account. Everyone sees the same statuses, notes and mail history. The activities feed shows what happened recently.

  • Fields that fit construction companies, such as sectors
  • Email prefixes that fit, like info@, office@, procurement@ and tenders@
  • Status, tags and a segment on every record

Other walls when prospecting construction companies

Information on construction firms is scattered across tenders, planning records and directories.

Import each source into one lead file, map columns to the same fields and let Riftjaw flag duplicates.

Generic inboxes at large contractors rarely reach the buyer.

Email from domain can suggest role addresses like procurement@ or tenders@, marked as guesses, alongside any named contacts you already have.

Long sales cycles mean you forget who you spoke to months ago.

Notes, statuses and a full mail history on every contact keep the thread, however long it takes.

Fields worth recording for construction companies

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
SectorsHousing, commercial and public work each have their own buyers.
Buyer or procurement contactLarger firms route supplier decisions through a buying team.
Current projectsLive projects show what they need in the coming months.

Questions people ask

Where award notices are public, you can collect the winning firms yourself and import them into Riftjaw. It does not crawl those sites, but it handles the file you bring.

Keep each person as a record in the same lead file with a company field. Tags and statuses show where each conversation stands.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, office@, procurement@ and tenders@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
