With only a handful of services to choose from, selecting a sales leads provider is relatively straightforward. To summarise, there are two major services in Barbour ABI and Glenigan, and two smaller services that serve opposite ends of the process – Planning Pipe covering the planning stages and Builders Conference tracking tenders and contracts.
Which one works best for you will depend on what you need.
Larger builders and developers will benefit from access to well-researched projects as early as possible, and so will want to consider one of the big two. Small to medium builders and main contractors will be getting involved as projects reach planning, and so Planning Pipe will ideally suit their needs.
Planning Pipe offers full UK service of the 250,000+ planning applications every year together with approved details.
You can be highly specific about the type of project you want, the area coverage (towns, counties and postcodes) and more. It’s also exceptional value for money with subscriptions starting at £49 per month, and a growing number of our clients would count themselves as satisfied customers of Planning Pipe’s services.
Subcontractors are going to be more interested in the tenders and contract stage of the process, and so Builders Conference might be a better fit.
That might narrow it down for you, but ask around. See what the various services will cost you, and you can get more detail about each of the four providers on our website if you need a bit more guidance. Get those sales leads coming in, and then it’s time to pick up the phone and start winning work.
