Selling refurbished and new restaurant equipment may have helped you forge relationships with some low- and high-end restaurant owners. In between sales, you may be wondering how you are going to drum up more business and could ultimately waste time trying to forge deals with people who do not fit your target audience. A business sales list is an invaluable marketing strategy that can help you expand your sales.
Businesses Come And Go
It can be difficult to keep up with what types of businesses are opening or closing in a specific region. On one occasion when you are driving through town, you may see several businesses that seem to be thriving, and on a subsequent occasion, some of the places could be empty or new businesses may have moved into the premises. Additionally, new construction may be underway, and without being aware of the location or the name of a particular business, it can be difficult to track down its owner.
With a business sales list, you will have pertinent information about current property owners, including contact names and numbers, the year that each property was purchased or leased, and the overall type of businesses that are being run. This information will help you decide who to reach out to and may make you feel confident about approaching a business owner about their current restaurant equipment and the option of purchasing new or refurbished items from you.
Each Prospective Relationship Should Be Cultivated
You can acquire a business sales list through a company that compiles data or a specialized entity that caters to a specific part of the restaurant industry and has contact with small and large restaurant owners within the region that you are seeking new clients in. Some companies that furnish sales lists will offer a list as an incentive for making a business deal or acquiring a membership through the supplier of lists, and others may sell them outright.
After pinpointing your target audience, including the region where you would like to acquire new clients, a list of business owners will be compiled. Use your list as a guide and mail flyers or welcome packets to each owner you would like to connect with. Offering an incentive, such as a discount if old equipment is traded in in exchange for a refurbished or a new item that you are selling, or coupons, which can be used toward an initial purchase or installation, will help you cultivate each prospective relationship.
