Team works in separate lists when you sell to electricians

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

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 electricians. Electrical contractors range from one person domestic firms to commercial contractors with site teams and estimators. Small firms buy through the owner, while larger ones often have an office manager or contracts manager who handles suppliers and software.

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 electricians, such as domestic or commercial
  • Email prefixes that fit, like info@, office@, admin@ and enquiries@
  • Status, tags and a segment on every record

Other walls when prospecting electricians

Domestic and commercial electricians sit in the same directory lists, so one message rarely fits both.

Add a Domestic or commercial field, fill it during import and save a filter for each so every campaign stays relevant.

Lists from certification registers and directories overlap heavily.

Riftjaw checks each import against your lead file and flags duplicates before you publish, so the same firm is not mailed twice.

You lose track of which contractors already had a sample or a demo.

Every contact keeps notes, tags and a history of each mail, open and click, so the next person on your team sees what happened.

Fields worth recording for electricians

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

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
Domestic or commercialThe type of work decides which products and messages are relevant.
EV charger workFirms that fit car chargers are a clear audience for charger brands and suppliers.
Certification schemeMembership of a scheme hints at size and at the paperwork they deal with.
Service areaLets you plan outreach by region or by branch territory.
Decision makerNote whether you deal with the owner or an office manager.

Questions people ask

Common sources are map listings, trade directories and the public registers of certification schemes. You collect the list yourself, for example with a scraper export or the paste and collect tool, and import it into Riftjaw.

Yes, if the information is on their listing or website. Record it in a field or a tag and save a filter on it, which you can then use as the audience of a campaign.

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