You or your company want to gain more sales and grow your pipeline, but you’re not sure how to do it? Currently, your pipeline may be busy but the construction industry is known for working in advance. So how do you win new work and build relationships within the industry? The answer is through construction leads.
Construction lead is a term which is often used, but many are unclear on what it actually means. In order to acquire leads, it must first be established what a construction lead is. To clear this up, Barbour ABI defines a construction lead as knowing information about projects at the right time with the right contacts, relevant to your industry! For example, being able to know who the contractor is for a certain project and having the correct details for you to target them to win work.
Benefits of good construction leads
The main benefit of construction leads is winning more work and growing your company’s pipeline. By targeting strong construction leads, your pipeline has a greater chance to fill up and deliver a consistent amount of work for you and your business. This is because with a good construction lead, you can see what exactly is happening within the industry, whether that be what projects are being worked on or what other companies are doing.
Another benefit to having hot construction leads is being able to stay ahead of your competitors. With construction leads you can see what projects your competitors are working on and who they are working with. This is allows you to stay head of the game and engage with your targets before your competitors beat you to it.
Finally, construction leads allow you to build key relationships with the right people. By having all the contact information you need on a project’s key players, you can contact those you want to work with and this may lead to a long-lasting relationship, working with the same companies and people.
How to identify a good lead?
A good lead can be identified through the quality of the information it has. The more information it has, the better the lead.
For example, a Barbour ABI lead provides all the necessary information you need about a project. This includes the timing for the project, value, details of the project, location, materials used, development type, updates and the people/companies working on the project from architects to quantity surveyors.
