Facility Managers Are Not Answering Cold Emails. Here Is What Works.
Commercial maintenance contractors win recurring contracts when they reach the right decision-makers through the right channels at the right time. A single cold call or a mass email blast is not enough. Prospectr builds a coordinated, multi-channel pipeline that puts your maintenance services in front of facility managers, property management firms, and building owners who have real budgets and active needs.
Founded in 2006, headquartered in Minneapolis, MN. 225 active clients. More than 2,000 campaigns delivered. 42,000+ qualified leads generated.
Commercial Maintenance Is a Relationship Business. You Cannot Grow on Referrals Alone.
Facility directors and property managers are among the busiest buyers in B2B services. They oversee dozens of vendor relationships, manage building systems across multiple properties, and field hundreds of inbound calls from contractors every month. A generic cold email gets deleted in seconds. An unknown phone number goes straight to voicemail.
The maintenance companies that win the contracts are the ones who show up consistently through multiple touchpoints: a relevant, well-timed email that speaks to their property type, a professional follow-up call from a trained inside sales rep, a targeted ad when they are actively researching vendors, and a credible social presence that builds trust before the first conversation ever happens.
Most maintenance contractors rely on word of mouth, referral networks, and occasional job board bids. That approach caps your growth at whatever your current relationships can produce. Prospectr replaces that ceiling with a predictable, scalable outbound system that creates new relationships at volume, every month.
The Decision-Makers Who Hold the Maintenance Budget
We do not send to general business lists. Every campaign is built around the specific buyer titles and company profiles that sign maintenance contracts in your service area.
Property Management Companies
Regional and national firms managing commercial, retail, and multifamily portfolios. They need reliable vendors on contract, not one-off calls.
Facility Directors and Operations Managers
In-house buyers at corporate campuses, hospitals, schools, and government buildings. They own the vendor list and the budget.
REITs and Commercial Real Estate Owners
Institutional owners with 10, 50, or 500 properties. One relationship can turn into a national vendor agreement.
Hospitality and Hotel Groups
Hotels, resorts, and extended-stay properties that require maintenance contracts for grounds, HVAC, lighting, pest control, and more.
Healthcare and Medical Office Management
Clinics, outpatient centers, and assisted living facilities with strict maintenance compliance requirements.
Retail Chains and Shopping Centers
Multi-site retail owners and shopping center operators who need consistent maintenance across dozens of locations.
Maintenance Contractors We Have Grown
Prospectr Has Grown Maintenance and Service Businesses Across the Country
Lighting Partners Franchise System
Lighting Partners is a franchise system for outdoor lighting installation and seasonal maintenance built by Prospectr founder Travis Tuma. The franchise model was built from day one with a Prospectr-powered lead pipeline targeting homeowners, property managers, and commercial landscape buyers. Prospectr generated the proof of concept leads that validated the franchise unit economics before the system expanded. Today, franchisees across multiple markets use the same multi-channel outreach model that Travis built internally.
Renova Exteriors and HSL
Renova Exteriors and HSL are exterior services contractors whose growth was accelerated through Prospectr outreach campaigns targeting property managers and commercial real estate owners. Campaigns were built around recurring service contracts for exterior maintenance including painting, power washing, and seasonal services. Results included qualified leads from multi-property owners and property management firms with ongoing service needs.
CertaPro Painters and System4
CertaPro Painters and the System4 facility services franchise network are among Prospectr's longest-running commercial maintenance clients. System4 of Alabama closed a major new account within the first month. System4 of Indianapolis credited Prospectr with generating some of their largest recurring accounts. CertaPro franchise owners in multiple markets use Prospectr outreach to reach property managers and facility directors who need commercial painting on a recurring maintenance cycle.

Talk to sales →Common Questions from Maintenance Contractors
What types of commercial maintenance companies does Prospectr work with?
We work with HVAC, electrical, plumbing, janitorial, landscape, pest control, lighting maintenance, exterior services, and general facility maintenance contractors. If you sell recurring service contracts to commercial buyers, we can build a pipeline for you.
Who are the decision-makers you target in commercial maintenance?
Our primary targets are facility directors, property managers, operations managers, and building owners. We also reach VP-level buyers at REITs, hotel groups, healthcare systems, and retail chains. These are the people with vendor budgets and the authority to sign contracts.
How long does it take to start receiving leads?
Most clients see their first qualified leads within 2 to 4 weeks of campaign launch. The first week is strategy and database build. Week two is copy approval. Week three is campaign launch and warm-up. By week four, leads are flowing.
How are leads qualified before they are delivered to me?
A lead is delivered when a prospect replies positively, requests more information, or agrees to a conversation. We do not send you cold contact lists or unverified form fills. Every lead has shown active interest in your services.
Do you work with franchise or multi-location maintenance brands?
Yes. We have run campaigns for franchise systems and regional roll-ups including Lighting Partners, HSL, Renova Exteriors, and CertaPro Painters. Franchise work often includes territory-level targeting so each franchisee receives leads within their defined service area.
What does Prospectr cost for commercial maintenance lead generation?
Pricing starts at $600 to $1,000 per month for the base email program, plus $200 per qualified lead billed at the end of each month. Adding inside sales calling runs $1,111 per month additional and typically generates 4 to 6 extra bid requests per month. All engagements are month-to-month.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No long-term contracts. Prospectr operates on a month-to-month model with a performance-first guarantee. If we do not hit our agreed lead target, we keep working at no additional cost until we do.
