Who your SDR calls

The 9 industries a Las Vegas construction program prospects into

These are the 9 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for construction work, with how many of each are in the Las Vegas-Henderson metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Las Vegas-Henderson leans toward commercial building owners and developers (1.44x). Build the list around that category.

How Abstrakt runs it

What your Las Vegas appointment-setting program looks like

Your outsourced sales development team works the numbers above under your name. Here is the plan for Las Vegas commercial general contractors.

  1. 01

    Build the Las Vegas list

    Abstrakt's records already hold 3,821 eligible construction targets in the Las Vegas-Henderson metro. Your ideal customer profile becomes a target list drawn from those records and the 1,074 larger construction-buying buildings in the metro. That is about 2.5 times the 1,500-account list a Foundation program starts with, so the list is ranked Tier 1 first and worked in waves.

  2. 02

    Reach the person who signs

    For construction, that starts with the plant manager at manufacturing companies, then two or three contacts at each of the 251 Tier 1 sites. Calls, email and LinkedIn run together; Growth adds direct mail and intent data.

  3. 03

    Call every month, with the right message

    Your SDR calls all year. With no strong weather season, capital plan and project start window sets the message, and your SDR learns it account by account on the first call.

  4. 04

    Book only qualified meetings

    Every meeting passes Right Company, Right Contact and Right Timing, and arrives with the project scope, the owner's usual contractors, the delivery method and the start window.

  5. 05

    See every dial

    The Results Portal shows every call, email, conversation and booked meeting in the Las Vegas program, around the clock.

Guaranteed. We agree the activity or qualified-appointment number in writing before launch. If we miss it, we keep working at no additional cost until we hit it.

Exclusive. We run one program per trade per market, so we will not run construction appointment setting for a direct competitor in Las Vegas.

Flat monthly pricing. Foundation is $5,000 a month (best for $2M to $10M revenue), Growth $8,500 (best for $10M to $50M), Enterprise custom. See what each plan includes.

Proof. A design-build general contractor in Texas and Oklahoma landed a $900,000 project by month three of its outbound program. Results vary by program and are not typical of every engagement.
