Commercial Restoration Appointment Setting: A Case Study

TL;DR

GenSales helped a restoration franchise reach commercial facilities decision makers through targeted cold calling. The team built the prospect list and made repeated attempts to reach maintenance managers and directors. Those conversations created opportunities for the franchise to discuss restoration work with prospective customers.

Who Did the Restoration Franchise Need to Reach?

The franchise needed conversations with people responsible for commercial facilities and maintenance decisions.

Reaching those contacts took persistence. Maintenance managers and directors were often occupied with work in their buildings, so an unanswered call could require another attempt.

How Did GenSales Build the Calling Campaign?

GenSales built the prospect list from scratch around the franchise's campaign parameters and the decision makers it wanted to reach.

  • Select the prospects: The team researched businesses and contacts that matched the campaign's target criteria.
  • Reach the decision maker: Callers made multiple attempts to connect with the relevant maintenance manager or director.
  • Explain the service: The account manager learned the client's terminology through regular conversations and used that knowledge to improve the calling message.

The work covered both finding prospects and contacting them. The franchise had a calling partner responsible for getting those initial conversations started.

What Did the Outreach Help the Franchise Accomplish?

The outreach created commercial restoration opportunities for the franchise to pursue with facilities decision makers.

GenSales handled the prospect research and calling. The franchise handled the discussions about restoration work and the proposals that followed. This gave the client support at the start of the sales process, where finding the right contact and reaching that person required repeated effort.
