THREE WAYS
Three ways these companies deliver leads
The companies on this page sell to contractors who want work from businesses: property managers, facilities teams, owners, general contractors and public buyers. They are not homeowner lead marketplaces. They deliver one of three things:
- A booked meeting. Appointment setting. A rep calls and emails until a buyer agrees to a meeting or site walk. Abstrakt, MarketJoy and Smarter Outbound's monthly plan describe this.
- A qualified lead or reply, priced per lead. Prospectr bills a retainer plus a fee for each qualified lead. Smarter Outbound offers a pay-per-lead plan with no retainer.
- A managed outreach program. A monthly fee for research, outreach and follow-up, with interested replies or meetings passed to you. Project Driver, Revenue Boost and Sourci describe this model.
Each model leaves different work with your team. Agree in writing what counts as a lead or a meeting before you pay for one. The same comparison for commercial painting only, with project-bid platforms and painting agencies added, is in our commercial painting lead generation services comparison.
7 COMPANIES
The 7 companies, one by one
Abstrakt Marketing Group
Abstrakt sells appointment setting for commercial contractors. Its contractors page says a sales development rep builds a list of the commercial buildings you want to service, calls and emails the people who control that work, tracks when contracts renew or budgets are set, and books a meeting or site walk. Its Outbound BDR program runs phone, email, direct mail and LinkedIn as one campaign and grades every meeting before you get it.
Its trade list covers commercial roofing, painting and coatings, flooring, HVAC and mechanical, electrical, construction, cleaning, landscaping, paving and fire protection. Outbound BDR pricing starts at $5,000 a month. Abstrakt takes one client per trade per territory and will not run the same program for a direct competitor there. It says program expectations and commitments are defined in your agreement.
Who it says it suits: contractors selling commercial and industrial work: service agreements, maintenance contracts, replacements, repaints and negotiated projects. It says that if you sell mainly to homeowners, appointment setting is the wrong tool.
MarketJoy
MarketJoy sells construction lead generation. Its page says it identifies and qualifies developers, property owners, general contractors, government agencies and organizations planning construction projects, then connects them with your sales team. Its outreach combines personalized email, cold calling, LinkedIn and follow-up sequences, and the goal it states is qualified meetings with construction decision-makers. A separate painting page covers commercial, industrial and specialty painting buyers.
MarketJoy does not publish prices or contract terms on these pages; it offers a strategy call.
Who it says it suits: commercial contractors, general contractors, specialty contractors, civil and infrastructure firms, industrial contractors and design-build firms, including companies entering new regions or sectors.
Project Driver
Project Driver sells commercial and cold outreach as one of its marketing services. Its page says it researches the property managers, general contractors, HOAs and municipalities you want as clients, writes personalized sequences, sends them and follows up. Warm replies go to your inbox and meetings to your calendar, with reporting on outreach sent, replies and meetings booked.
Project Driver serves home services and trades alongside other industries, such as real estate and professional services. It does not publish prices or contract terms on this page.
Who it says it suits: businesses that want steady commercial work from property managers, GCs, HOAs and larger accounts without hiring a full-time salesperson.
Prospectr Digital
Prospectr Digital's commercial painting page describes outreach to facility managers, property management companies and general contractors, including GC subcontractor work for tenant improvements and new builds. It defines a qualified lead as a verified decision-maker who replied with interest in a bid, site visit or conversation about a specific project; unsubscribes, bounces and out-of-territory replies do not count.
Its pricing page lists managed cold email at $1,000 setup and $600 a month plus $200 per qualified lead, billed at month end. Other options include Inside Sales Flex at $1,111 a month, a Premium SDR Bundle at $2,333 a month, LinkedIn InMail at $500 a month and list building at $2.50 a contact. Each engagement starts with a custom contract, and the page says most plans start month-to-month. Its painting page says it does not run competing painting campaigns in the same market at the same time.
Who it says it suits: commercial painting contractors, including franchise owners, who want outreach priced partly per qualified lead.
Revenue Boost
Revenue Boost sells lead generation for commercial services through cold email, LinkedIn, cold calling, appointment setting and outsourced SDR work. Its commercial services page lists commercial HVAC, roofing, painting, cleaning, remediation and building maintenance, with the buyer roles for each: property and asset managers, facility directors, general contractors and developers for commercial roofing. It says it tracks the whole funnel, from positive replies and meetings to estimates, bids and closed revenue.
Its pricing page says it charges a monthly retainer, not per lead or per meeting, and scopes each engagement individually; no figure is published. It recommends a minimum of 3 months and says it does not do long-term lock-ins.
Who it says it suits: commercial service companies selling to property managers, facilities teams and contractors. Its pricing page mentions companies doing $1 million to $50 million a year.
Smarter Outbound
Smarter Outbound sells outbound to commercial service companies: cleaning, paving, roofing, HVAC, landscaping, pest control, facility maintenance and security, with commercial painting listed among its industries. It offers two paths:
- Pay Per Lead: no retainer. If accepted after an application review, it runs a verified list, cold email and SMS, and human reply handling, and bills per qualified lead at a rate agreed in writing.
- Full System: $1,497 a month flat with unlimited leads. Cold email, SMS, cold calling and LinkedIn, appointment setting with no-show rebooking, and a client dashboard.
Its FAQ says monthly plans have a short initial term and then run month-to-month, and that there is no long-term lock-in.
Who it says it suits: commercial service companies that sell in a service area and need walkthroughs, inspections and quotes on the calendar.
Sourci
Sourci's outbound service researches commercial accounts and buyers in your service area (property managers, facilities teams and owners), runs agreed email outreach and follow-up, and qualifies interested replies. Each handoff states who replied, their role, what they said, what is still unknown and the next step. Your team handles site visits, estimates and closing.
Foundation is $2,950 a month for one campaign and up to 500 newly researched contacts a month. Growth is $4,450 a month for up to two campaigns and 1,000 contacts. Standard campaign setup is included; domains, inboxes and sending infrastructure are itemized for approval before launch, with no automatic overages. Calling, LinkedIn management and ads are not included. Plans are month-to-month with 30 days' written notice. Sourci says any exclusivity requirement must be defined in the written scope.
Who it says it suits: commercial painting, flooring, coatings and roofing contractors with capacity for more commercial work and someone to follow up on buyer conversations. Sourci also sells a separate inbound plan for website, SEO and AI-search work.
CHOOSE COMMERCIAL
How to choose a commercial lead generation company
Ask every company the same five questions, and put the answers in the contract.
- Who owns the lists, sending accounts and reply history? In outbound, the equivalent of "who owns the website" is who keeps the researched contacts, the sending domains and inboxes, the CRM records and every buyer reply when the engagement ends. Ask whether the outreach goes out under your name or the provider's.
- How long is the contract? Prospectr and Sourci are month-to-month on most or all plans. Smarter Outbound has a short initial term, then monthly. Revenue Boost recommends 3 months. Abstrakt sets commitments in its agreement. MarketJoy and Project Driver do not publish terms. Ask for the notice period in writing.
- What does the report show? Ask for a sample. Useful reports count researched accounts, replies, qualified conversations, meetings held, estimates and won jobs separately. A booked meeting and a buyer-confirmed project are different stages.
- What is the pricing model, and what counts as a lead? Per qualified lead (Prospectr, Smarter Outbound's first plan), flat monthly (Smarter Outbound's Full System, Sourci), or retainer quoted per client (Abstrakt from $5,000, Revenue Boost, MarketJoy, Project Driver). For per-lead pricing, get the lead definition in writing, as Prospectr publishes.
- Is your territory exclusive? Abstrakt takes one client per trade per territory. Prospectr says it does not run competing painting campaigns in the same market. Sourci defines any exclusivity in the written scope. Ask the others.
Also check the channels against your buyers. Some facilities managers answer the phone; others only reply to email. If you do not want your company calling, an email-only program fits; if you want calls, pick a provider that includes them.
COMMERCIAL LEAD
What does commercial lead generation cost? A worked example
These inputs are round and the same for every row, to compare fees only. They are not a forecast for any provider. Assume each program produces 8 qualified conversations or meetings a month, your team wins 1 in 8, and an average commercial job is $30,000 with $7,500 gross profit.
| Plan (published price) | Monthly cost at 8 qualified conversations | First-year cost | Cost per conversation | Jobs a month to cover the cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prospectr cold email ($600 + $200 per qualified lead; $1,000 setup) | $2,200 | $27,400 | $275 | 0.29 |
| Smarter Outbound Full System ($1,497 flat) | $1,497 | $17,964 | $187 | 0.20 |
| Sourci Outbound Foundation ($2,950; sending costs extra) | $2,950 | $35,400 | $369 | 0.39 |
| Sourci Outbound Growth ($4,450; sending costs extra) | $4,450 | $53,400 | $556 | 0.59 |
| Abstrakt Outbound BDR (from $5,000) | $5,000 | $60,000 | $625 | 0.67 |
At 1 win in 8 conversations, each plan in this example wins about 1 job a month, worth $7,500 of gross profit. Change one input and the order can change: per-lead pricing rises with volume, flat fees do not, and a provider that books held meetings is delivering a later stage than one that hands over replies. Add your own estimating and travel time before you compare. Sourci's lead economics calculator runs the math with your numbers.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What are the best lead generation companies for contractors?
It depends on who buys your work. Commercial contractors should compare companies on who owns the lists and reply history, contract length, what the report counts, the pricing model and lead definition, and territory exclusivity. Residential contractors usually compare marketing agencies and lead marketplaces instead. The table above gives each company's own answers.
What do contractor lead generation companies charge?
On the pages checked : Prospectr's managed cold email is $600 a month plus $200 per qualified lead and $1,000 setup; Smarter Outbound is $1,497 a month flat or a per-lead rate agreed in writing; Sourci is $2,950 or $4,450 a month; Abstrakt's Outbound BDR starts at $5,000 a month. MarketJoy, Project Driver and Revenue Boost do not publish prices.
What is commercial lead generation for contractors?
It means finding and contacting businesses that buy contractor work, such as property managers, facilities teams, owners and general contractors, before they post a project. Providers research accounts, reach them by email, phone, LinkedIn or SMS, and hand over interested buyers or booked meetings.
Is appointment setting better than cold email for contractors?
They deliver different things. Appointment setting delivers a booked meeting, usually through phone calls plus email. Email-only outreach delivers replies and conversations that your team turns into site visits. Choose by your buyers' habits and by whether you want a provider calling on your behalf.
Are leads from contractor lead generation companies exclusive?
Outbound leads come from outreach run for your company, so they are not resold like marketplace leads. Territory is a separate question: Abstrakt takes one client per trade per territory, Prospectr avoids competing painting campaigns in one market, and Sourci defines exclusivity in the written scope.
Do contractor lead generation companies require a contract?
Terms vary. Prospectr and Sourci are month-to-month on most or all plans. Smarter Outbound has a short initial term on monthly plans. Revenue Boost recommends at least 3 months. Abstrakt sets commitments in its agreement. Read the notice period and what you keep at the end.
Should a commercial contractor use Angi or Thumbtack instead?
Those are homeowner marketplaces that charge per lead, and a lead can go to several pros. The companies on this page target business buyers. See Thumbtack and Angi alternatives for the marketplace side.
