How Abstrakt runs it
What your Little Rock appointment-setting program looks like
Your outsourced sales development team works the numbers above under your name. Here is the plan for Little Rock commercial landscaping contractors.
01
Build the Little Rock list
Your ideal customer profile becomes a target list drawn from the 978 larger landscaping-buying buildings in the metro, starting in Pulaski County and Faulkner County. That fits inside the 1,500-account list a Foundation program starts with, leaving room to add Memphis if your crews travel.
02
Reach the person who signs
For landscaping, that starts with the regional facilities manager at retail stores, then two or three contacts at each of the 284 Tier 1 sites. Calls, email and LinkedIn run together; Growth adds direct mail and intent data.
03
Call every month, with the right message
Your SDR calls all year. Dec–Feb is the push for bid meetings ahead of the work season (Mar–Nov); the other months lead with service problems, renewals and budgets, so the pipeline never stops filling.
04
Book only qualified meetings
Every meeting passes Right Company, Right Contact and Right Timing, and arrives with the property list, the incumbent and the contract end date.
05
