Every meeting is qualified with BANT, and programs go live in a week and run month to month after a one month pilot.
Do you do residential leads?
No. We focus on commercial construction only. Meetings are with commercial owners, developers, GCs, and facility directors.
Who do you call?
Building owners, developers, project managers, estimators at GCs, facility directors, and property management leaders.
How much does it cost?
We do not publish rates. Cost depends on the ICP, channel mix, and target meeting volume. We scope the number on a 30 minute call and send it to you in writing. Terms are month to month with no long term contract.
How many meetings should we expect?
It depends on the market, but a typical CFE program books 40+ shown meetings a month (CFE-reported). Going live is the start of outreach, not a meeting promise.
Can you target specific project types?
Yes. Lists are built by project type (retail, industrial, healthcare, education, hospitality), size, and region to match your ideal work.
Which buyer groups should a commercial construction campaign target?
Distinguish a contractor introduction from a live project meeting. A relationship with a repeat owner or GC may be valuable even when no tender is open, but it should be reported differently from a defined bid opportunity.
| Offer | Buyer roles to consider | What to establish |
|---|---|---|
| General contracting | Owner or developer | Project category, geography and a relevant project discussion |
| Specialty subcontracting | GC estimator or project manager | Trade scope, project phase and supplier review process |
| Commercial upgrades and maintenance | Facilities or property leader | Site responsibility, work scope and appropriate next step |
What makes the first meeting useful?
Record the account, property or project discussed, scope fit, decision-maker role and known schedule. Your team confirms site conditions, estimating requirements, licensing and the proposal. Do not treat a meeting as a bid invitation unless that next step was established.
Agree the account criteria and meeting purpose before outreach. Report booked meetings, attended meetings and sales-accepted opportunities separately so the campaign is judged on relevance as well as activity.
What should you bring to the strategy call?
Bring your trade scope, service region, project types, capacity and account prequalification requirements. Identify the person who will handle the meetings and how many conversations your team can follow up each week.
On the 30-minute call, we review target buyers, calling and email scope, sales capacity and pricing. Confirm responsibilities and any replacement terms in a written proposal.
See how program scope and pricing are agreedMany of the same buildings sit behind an owner or asset manager rather than a GC, which is why construction campaigns often run alongside commercial real estate lead generation.
