He continues, “For instance, somebody may send a bid for a Walmart renovation, and in conversation with them, they find out what we do and where we operate. They mention they have another job that's actually already underway, ask us for a price, and the conversation just nets these other opportunities for us”. This is a prime example of the possibilities that PlanHub’s vast network of General Contractors can offer Subcontractors.
"Joining PlanHub has increased our revenue stream by over 15%."
Even whilst exploring leads that may not suit their company’s specialties, Adrian takes these leads as a chance to make a connection.
“I see it as an opportunity to reach out to that individual or that company with information about us and say ‘Hey you know there was nothing in this one for us, however, here's our introductory letter and if we can help somewhere else, let me know'. That really gets us a lot of feedback."
