Real contractors. Real relationships.

Zero builder relationships to 4 active bid lists in 5 months.

Marcus ran a pool company in DFW for six years — all consumer work. $1.1M in revenue, stuck for two years. He knew custom home builders in his market were building $800K–$2M homes that needed pools. He just couldn't get in front of them.

TradesOBD researched 48 builders in his service area, prioritized the list, and started working his LinkedIn alongside a phone and email outreach sequence. Within 60 days he had his first meeting with the pre-construction manager at a builder doing 60 custom homes a year. By month five, he was on four active bid lists — including one production builder starting a 90-home community.

"I knew these builders existed. I just couldn't get in the door. They got me three meetings in the first month."

After a failed $80K BD hire, they tripled their builder pipeline.

Southwest Roofing Systems was doing $4.2M across Phoenix and Tucson. They had two solid builder relationships — no system. Their BD manager had just left after 14 months, taking his contact list with him.

TradesOBD took over their LinkedIn, built a fresh target list of 85 builders and commercial developers across both markets, and started a full outreach program. Every contact varied — owners at smaller custom builders, pre-construction teams at regional community builders, estimators at commercial developers and GCs. Within 90 days they were in live conversations with 12 active targets. In six months, Southwest was on 8 new bid lists. Every contact went into the client's CRM. Nothing walked out the door.

"We spent $80K on a guy who quit and took everything. With TradesOBD, every relationship is ours."

One truck. No time. On 3 bid lists in 90 days.

Carlos had been running a landscape and hardscape operation in Orlando for four years — just him and two guys. All referral work. Great reputation, unpredictable pipeline. He'd drive past new communities going up and think 'I should call that builder' — and never do it.

TradesOBD's Foundation package gave Carlos a dedicated BD manager working under his company name. In the first two weeks they mapped 22 custom and production builders in greater Orlando. By week six, Carlos had his first site visit with a builder starting a 40-home community.

"I'm still doing the same work. I just have way more of it now. They found builders in my own market I didn't even know existed."
