Who your SDR calls

The 9 industries a Las Vegas HVAC program prospects into

These are the 9 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for HVAC 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 warehousing and distribution (2.48x) and medical and dental office buildings (1.46x). Build the list around those categories. Hospital campuses and manufacturing plants are thinner than the national mix, so treat them as selective targets.

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 mechanical contractors.

  1. 01

    Build the Las Vegas list

    Abstrakt's records already hold 1,216 eligible HVAC targets in the Las Vegas-Henderson metro. Your ideal customer profile becomes a target list drawn from those records and the 1,356 larger HVAC-buying buildings in the metro. That is close to the 1,500-account list a Foundation program starts with, so one program can cover the whole metro.

  2. 02

    Reach the person who signs

    For HVAC, that starts with the practice administrator or office manager at medical and dental office buildings, then two or three contacts at each of the 320 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. Mar–May, Sep–Nov is the push for bid meetings ahead of peak service (Dec–Feb, Jun–Aug); the other months lead with service problems, renewals and budgets, so the pipeline never stops filling.

  4. 04

    Book only qualified meetings

    Every meeting passes Right Company, Right Contact and Right Timing, and arrives with the equipment notes, the incumbent and the renewal month.

  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 HVAC 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. Mechanical Services & Systems signed an agreement worth over $570,000 after roughly two years of structured nurture. Results vary by program and are not typical of every engagement.
