Tips on how to pitch your product to construction companies
1. Put your phone number in the signature.
Due to the tight and active working modes of people in the construction industry, they are less responsive to emails. Even if you reach out to project manager titles, for example, it does not mean that these persons tend to sit in the office and permanently check their inboxes. Mostly, they are “out of the office”. Therefore, online communication is not the preferable channel to develop connections with construction prospects due to the lack of time. Thus, to facilitate your attempts to catch the prospect, indicate your phone number in the signature. Our experience shows this trick yields good results.
2. Follow up consistently.
Behavioral patterns of prospects from the construction sphere somewhat differ from other industries. It relates to the building activities they engage in. In this way, it is essential to provoke the attention of your construction prospects and proceed with the further steps of outreach through consistent follow-up.
3. Balance your tone of voice.
There is no one-size-fits-all manner of communication with prospects in the construction business. It’s important not to overboard with applying a formal tone of voice; however, we recommend sticking to the courteous way of communication and adhering to a semi-formal tone of voice.
4. Deliver your value proposition via relevant case studies.
Before elaborating upon your value proposition, start with thorough research of the current cooperations of your prospect’s company with other businesses, their pain points, technology stack used, number of employees, etc. Then, apply your success projects briefly in the email bodies, not via links to your case studies. They must be relative and tailored to the prospect’s needs and interests.
5. Avoid pushy sales approaches.
This is one of the main bottlenecks of companies that struggle to sell the product directly involving their sales representatives. And know what? It doesn’t work at all. Make your outreach from the positions in your company that are in charge of business operational processes. You will get more chances to get replies.

What approach does Wordstir use to set up 10 appointments per month?
We don’t adhere to one approach and apply it to different email campaigns since each project has its own requirements and business peculiarities. Therefore, we customize email sequences according to our client’s research data, ICP, and the industry their business operates in.
In general, when you target construction companies, try out such creative approaches as invitations to conferences or informal events that are likely to grow new business opportunities. Let’s take an example. For local outreaches, we apply our unique approach, “Taco Tuesday”. It’s an informal event where we invite representatives from various building companies aiming to build credibility through easy and casual communication.
If you need help in creating your construction email templates and increasing the chances of setting up new qualitative appointments - fill in the form. Our writers are always willing to contribute to your business scale.
