James Blinds is a commercial window treatment contractor serving clients across five states, with a team of ~30. Before PlanHub, they were limited by the reach of their existing tools and relying on cold outreach with inconsistent results. Within a year and a half of adopting PlanHub, they scaled from 500 clients to nearly 2,000, a 290% increase.
Before PlanHub, James Blinds relied on Dodge, iSqFt, and heavy cold outreach, manually emailing contractors, making cold calls, and stopping in on GCs with no guarantee of converting. The problem wasn’t effort. It was coverage. With dozens of GCs bidding on any given project, winning meant reaching every single one, not just existing contacts. Their tools made that nearly impossible.
Dustin came across PlanHub while researching lead generation options about four and a half years ago. His first reaction was skepticism, as he assumed it would be another platform full of low-quality projects. He decided to test it in Florida, his first new territory expansion. The project volume surprised him. His company committed to a one-year trial and never looked back. Today, every new territory they open gets its own PlanHub account.
TOTAL CLIENT GROWTH
When Dustin joined, the company had ~150 clients in Ohio. After scaling PlanHub across three states, they grew to 500 — then jumped to 1,950 within a year and a half.
SALES GROWTH
Dustin attributes at least 25% of total revenue growth directly to PlanHub, and notes that figure is likely conservative, since many GCs first reached through PlanHub go on to send direct invitations.
WIN RATE INCREASE
A meaningful improvement in an industry where margins are tight and competition is stiff. GC outreach also more than tripled.
