❌ The Problem

If you run a commercial service company (e.g., janitorial, HVAC, landscaping, pest control), you’re probably out in the field quite often visiting clients.

Since you’ll be constantly on the move, most of your growth is dependent on others - outsourced sales talent (like offshore VAs), paid ads (like LSA), or from marketing agencies (like for SEO or lead generation).

This is the reality for the 1+ million blue-collar businesses in the United States today.

👷 Our Solution

Our agentic CRM helps service businesses grow by in-housing growth:

• Market Research: building out a list of potential business owners and property owners and their contact information in their service area
• Outreach: automatically reaching out to potential targets to assess interest, and self-updating the CRM accordingly
• Monitoring: constantly monitoring and triggering follow-ups based on active signals (e.g., new location opening or existing contract ending)

It’s helped our customers so much that one of early clients is buying us NBA floor tickets (albeit for the worst team in the league):
