You already know which contractors you want to write. You just don't know when to call.

Every agency has a target list. The problem isn't finding contractors. It's knowing when to reach out.

Your targets are signaling right now

They're pulling bigger permits, hiring ops leads, and adding license classifications. Their current broker probably hasn't noticed. Someone will reach out with a reason to meet. It's either you or your competitor.

Cold outreach gets ignored

"We'd love to quote your business" goes to voicemail. A message about their actual project gets a reply.

Research doesn't scale

Nobody checks permits, LinkedIn, and license boards for 500 prospects by hand. So the list sits in a spreadsheet.

Load your targets. We watch for the opening. Your producer shows up with a reason.

Load your target list

Upload the contractors you want to write. We build a baseline on each one so we can spot when their coverage needs change.

We watch for signals

Permits, license changes, new hires, social posts, fleet data. Every signal is matched to your targets with a confidence score.

Producers get a daily queue

Each row has the signal, the play, and a message ready to send. One click to email. Activity logs back to your AMS.

Spot the coverage gap before the contractor knows it exists.

Every signal links to a source and maps to a coverage conversation. Your producers verify in seconds.

Growth & Operations

Bigger jobs and new locations often mean their coverage no longer fits. We catch that.

Permits · new municipalities · fleet/DOT changes · field role postings

People & Leadership

New hires and promotions mean someone is re-evaluating vendors. That's your window.

New hires · exec promotions · ops/safety/finance roles · LinkedIn changes

Risk & Compliance

License changes and OSHA activity shift the risk profile. Coverage needs to keep up.

License changes · new classifications · OSHA inspections · disciplinary flags

Market & Visibility

Social posts and press mentions reveal what they're doing before it hits the filings.

Project wins · award announcements · social posts · press mentions · partnerships

Three ways to win before the incumbent wakes up.

Each play starts with a real signal that points to a coverage gap. The outreach reads like a specialist, not a cold caller.

Play 01

Coverage Gap Detected

A contractor takes on bigger work than their coverage handles. You reach out about the gap.

Triggered by: permit, territory expansion, fleet change

Saw your expansion into Tacoma
I noticed you've taken on some larger projects in Tacoma recently. When companies hit this kind of growth, coverage gaps tend to surface, especially around inland marine and umbrella limits.

Happy to do a quick benchmark if useful. Worth 15 minutes?
Play 02

Leadership Change

A new decision-maker joins. You introduce yourself while they're reviewing vendors.

Triggered by: new hire, promotion, role change

Congrats on the new role
Saw you joined Apex Mechanical as VP of Operations. I work with contractors at a similar stage.

Happy to be a resource if you want a second opinion on your coverage structure. No pitch, just a conversation whenever timing works.

Competitive Displacement

Fast growth means coverage falls behind. You offer a free gap review before the competitor does.

Quick question about your coverage
I've been watching your growth, 4 new permits, a new license classification, and a PM hire in the last month. That's a lot of change.

I'd be happy to run a no-obligation gap review. Not asking for the business, just showing where the exposure has shifted.

The same signals protect the contractors you already write.

We watch your clients too. When their risk profile changes, you find out first, not at renewal.

Earlier renewals

When a client's risk changes, we trigger renewal prep months before expiration.

Cross-sell upsell

A permit triggers inland marine. A fleet signal triggers auto. Tied to what actually changed.

Fewer surprises

See changes as they happen, not when the carrier asks questions at audit time.

Tools that replace the research, not the relationship.

Everything a producer needs to act on a signal. Nothing extra to learn.

Questions we hear from agencies.

Is this lead gen?
No. You bring the list. We watch for signals that create coverage gaps so your producer shows up with a reason, not a cold pitch.
How is this different from intent data?
Intent data says someone visited a website. We tell you they pulled a $2M permit and hired a VP of Ops, with links to the source. Specific, verifiable, tied to coverage needs.
Do producers need to learn a new system?
The daily queue is the system. Open it, see who to call, click to send. Logs back to your AMS. Nothing new to maintain.
Is the data accurate?
Every signal has a source link and a confidence score. Your team confirms matches once, then it compounds over time.
What types of contractors does this work for?
GCs, roofers, electricians, concrete, mechanical, restoration, any class where permits, licenses, and project signals show coverage needs. The plays adapt to each niche.
Can I control what gets sent?
Yes. Assisted mode means drafts your producers review. Automated mode adds guardrails: daily limits, approved templates, opt-out handling. Your call, per producer.

Your next best account just pulled a permit, hired a PM, and expanded into a new city. Do you know about it?
