Team works in separate lists when you sell to manufacturers
Does your colleague know you already called that company? Here is how people who sell to manufacturers 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 manufacturers. Manufacturers range from small workshops to large plants, and buying decisions involve owners, plant managers, engineers and purchasing. Sales cycles are longer, and suppliers win on reliability, technical fit and total cost.
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 manufacturers, such as sector
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, sales@, purchasing@ and enquiries@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record

Other walls when prospecting manufacturers
Manufacturer lists are broad and cover many unrelated sectors.
Record sector and processes in fields and send each campaign to a narrow segment.
The right buyer sits behind a generic address.
Add purchasing@ as your own prefix in email from domain alongside info@.
Deals take months with many touchpoints.
Contact history, notes and statuses keep the whole story in one place.
Fields worth recording for manufacturers
Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.
| 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. |
| Sector | Food, metal, plastics or electronics plants buy very different things. |
| Processes | Machining, moulding or assembly shape equipment needs. |
| Sites | Multi site manufacturers often have central purchasing. |
| Certifications | Quality standards they hold matter to suppliers. |
| Purchasing contact | The buyer or plant manager when you find them. |
Questions people ask
Add a sector field and fill it on import or from research. Then save a filter per sector and use it as the campaign audience.
Yes. Besides the standard prefixes you can add your own in email from domain. The results are likely addresses, not verified ones.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, purchasing@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
