Cold Calling for Construction Companies and Contractors

Switchstack's cold calling for construction companies gives contractors, subcontractors and suppliers a dedicated caller who phones general contractors, property managers and developers, gets you on bid lists and books meetings about upcoming projects. A full-time caller costs $2,199 to $3,099 a month, set by the country your caller works from. There's no setup fee and no charge per meeting, and calls start in about 2 weeks.

• Subcontractors who want to bid on more general contractors' projects
• Commercial contractors in trades such as roofing, HVAC, electrical, fit-out and painting
• Facility maintenance companies looking for service contracts
• Building material and equipment suppliers selling to contractors

It fits best when you know the work you do best and the area you cover, and an estimator or owner can take the calls. We call businesses only. We don't cold call homeowners.

Who your caller phones, and who decides there, depends on what you sell:

Before calls start, we write down with you what a qualified meeting is, using four checks:

Your caller doesn't price jobs or do site visits. They write down the project, the timing, who decides and how bids work there, and hand the meeting to your estimator or salesperson with those notes.

General contractors and property managers keep using the firms they know until they need more capacity or something goes wrong. Your caller listens for these moments:

• A project starting, or bids opening for a trade you do
• A gap on their bid list for your trade or region
• A current firm that missed dates, went over budget or went out of business
• A maintenance or service contract coming up for renewal
• A new building, a new owner or a change of property manager

When there's no opening yet, your caller asks how to get on the bid list and when the next projects start, and calls back before then.

2. We agree on the list and the goal. Who to call, and what has to be true before a meeting counts as qualified.
3. You choose your caller. We test callers on role-play calls using your offer. You hear the recordings and approve one.
4. We write the script with you, including answers to "we have our subs already" and "send us your info", and check your list against the local calling rules.
5. Calls start in about 2 weeks. Your caller works your buyers' business hours and books meetings straight onto your calendar.
6. We manage and improve. Daily quality checks, a recording of every call and a weekly report. We change one thing at a time, such as the opener or the ask, based on what the calls show.

Your buyers are businesses, so most calls fall under the lighter business-to-business rules. A few things still matter:

• In the US, business numbers are outside the Do Not Call Registry, but an owner's or project manager's personal mobile may be on it. Oklahoma and Maryland also limit most B2B sales calls to 8am to 8pm. See cold calling laws in the US and the rules by state.
• In the UK, sole traders can register with the TPS, so a B2B list needs screening against both the TPS and the CTPS. See cold calling laws in the UK.
• In Canada and Australia, calling hours apply to business calls too. See the guides for Canada and Australia.
