Find companies to approach for what you sell.
Describe your service and where you want customers. ScoutRail suggests companies to research, with a source link and a first message you can edit.
Turn a search into a first approach
- Describe the work you want. Include your service, target customer and location.
- Check the suggested company. Open its website and decide whether your service fits.
- Make the message yours. Review the draft, add a relevant detail and choose how to contact the business.
A real search example
A search for office cleaning in Cape Town returned Molteno Dental Practice as a possible fit. Its website lists a practice in Oranjezicht, Cape Town.
The useful next step is to check whether it uses an outside cleaning service and who handles suppliers. A suggested company is not proof that it is looking for a new cleaner.
Write a specific search
“We build websites” leaves the buyer open. “We build booking websites for independent salons in Johannesburg” gives the scouts a service, a type of buyer and a place to work with.
Use the same approach for IT support, commercial cleaning, catering or another business service. Check every suggestion against what you can deliver.
