The challenge
The firm relied on referrals and existing relationships to win commercial projects -- office buildouts, retail spaces, and light industrial work. When the pipeline dried up between projects, they had no systematic way to fill it. The owners tried cold calling internally, but their project managers were too busy on job sites to follow up consistently. They tested a marketing agency that promised leads through paid ads, but the cost per qualified lead exceeded $800 and most weren't decision-ready. They needed a predictable way to reach property developers, real estate investment firms, and commercial property owners who were actively planning construction projects in their metro area.
Who we targeted
- Commercial Real Estate Developers
- Property Managers
- Family Office Investment Partners
- Commercial Property Owners
“We went from chasing referrals to having property developers call us back within hours.”
Our approach
We built lists targeting commercial real estate developers, property management companies with 10+ buildings, and family offices with real estate holdings in a 75-mile radius. Email copy focused on completed projects in similar property types -- retail, medical offices, warehouses -- with specific square footage and timeline data. Every warm reply triggered a call within 60 minutes from their dedicated operator, who qualified project scope, budget, and timeline before booking meetings with the owners. We avoided their company domain by setting up dedicated sending infrastructure that kept their brand reputation intact.
The results
Within 23 days, they booked their first meeting with a developer planning a 14,000 sq ft medical office buildout. By month two, they averaged 8 qualified meetings per month with decision-makers managing active or upcoming commercial projects. Reply rates held at 9.2% -- well above the 2-3% they saw from previous attempts. Three meetings converted to bid opportunities worth a combined $2.1M in contract value. The owners now treat outbound as a standing line item in their budget, running it year-round to keep the pipeline full between referral cycles.
