10 things to know before prospecting flooring in Oklahoma City
The 10 industries a Oklahoma City flooring program prospects into
Oklahoma City flooring1,163target locations across 10 industries
These are the 10 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for flooring work, with how many of each are in the Oklahoma City metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Oklahoma City leans toward commercial property management firms (2.00x), ambulatory health care: physician, dental, outpatient and urgent care (1.33x) and auto dealerships (1.21x). Build the list around those categories. Hospital campuses and warehousing and distribution are thinner than the national mix, so treat them as selective targets.

Buildings per contractor: Oklahoma City and nearby markets
17 nonresidential flooring contractors are based in the Oklahoma City metro. That is 2 fewer than a year ago. When a contractor closes or sells, its customers go looking for a new one. The trade is 20% more concentrated than the U.S. as a whole. Facility and property teams here already hear from commercial flooring contractors, and a specific reason to talk beats a generic pitch. 68.4 larger flooring-buying buildings per contractor puts Oklahoma City 34 of 66 markets, and 2 of 2 in Oklahoma. That sits mid-pack: real room to grow, but the best accounts are contested. If you can serve Tulsa and Wichita, they have more larger buildings per contractor than Oklahoma City.

01
Build the Oklahoma City list
Your ideal customer profile becomes a target list drawn from the 1,163 larger flooring-buying buildings in the metro, starting in Oklahoma County and Cleveland County. That fits inside the 1,500-account list a Foundation program starts with, leaving room to add Tulsa if your crews travel.
02
Reach the person who signs

03
Call every month, with the right message
Your SDR calls all year. With no strong weather season, renovation or tenant turnover timing sets the message, and your SDR learns it account by account on the first call.
04
Book only qualified meetings
Every meeting passes Right Company, Right Contact and Right Timing, and arrives with the floor types, the square footage and the renovation timing.
