Who signs, by trade
Who signs commercial service contracts
The buyer is rarely the business owner. It is whoever runs the property: find that person for your trade and the contract follows.
Security guard companies
Property managers of office towers, apartment complexes and retail centers sign guard contracts; so do general contractors for construction sites, and HOAs for gated communities.
Commercial landscaping
Property managers, office park facility managers and HOA boards, often through their management company. One manager can sign for several sites.
Snow removal
Retail plaza owners, property managers, HOAs, clinics and car dealerships: anyone whose lot must be open by 7 a.m.
Pest control
Restaurant and hotel general managers, food warehouses and property managers. Food businesses must keep pests out to pass inspections, so they buy recurring service.
Commercial cleaning
Office managers, practice managers at clinics, gym owners and property managers.
Maintenance, HVAC and window cleaning
Facility managers and property managers who already buy several services from local vendors.
The decision makers
What each buyer cares about
Search these four first. Each one decides differently, so adapt your first call.
Property managers
They manage several buildings for owners and sign most service contracts. They want reliable vendors who send proof of work and do not generate complaints.
Facility managers
They run offices, campuses and warehouses for one company. They care about compliance, insurance and response times.
Office managers
In smaller businesses the office manager picks the cleaner, the pest control and often the landscaper. They decide fast.
HOAs, condo boards and managing agents
In the US, HOA boards approve contracts; in Canada, condo corporations and strata councils; in the UK, managing agents for residential blocks. Most hire a management company that does the calling for them.
What to say
A first call that gets you a site visit
“Hi, this is [name] from [company]. We handle [snow removal / landscaping / security] for properties around [area]. Who looks after service contracts for your buildings? … When does your current contract come up for renewal? I would like to walk the site and send you a written quote before then.”
Ask two questions: who decides, and when the current contract ends. Log both answers and call back a month before.
Bid boards or direct prospecting
Get in before the contract goes out to bid
Bid boards and lead sites send the same job to many contractors, so you compete on price. When you call property managers directly, months before renewal, you are often the only new quote they see, and you choose the properties close to your crews.

FAQ
Questions about winning commercial contracts
How do I get commercial contracts as a small company?
List the people who sign them in your area (property managers, facility managers, HOA management companies), call them to learn who decides and when their current contract ends, then visit the site and send a written quote before that date. LeadsIt does the first step: it lists those businesses with the phone numbers and emails they publish.
Who signs snow removal and landscaping contracts?
Usually the property manager or the management company acting for the owner or the HOA board. For a single-site business, it is the owner or the general manager.
When should I start calling?
A few months before the work starts: late summer for snow removal, late winter for landscaping. Security and pest control contracts renew all year, so ask each prospect for their renewal date and log it.
Do I get the property manager’s direct line?
You get the public phone number, website and the emails each company publishes. Ask the person who answers for whoever handles vendor contracts.
Is it legal to email or call these businesses?
Calling a business about a business offer is generally outside consumer do-not-call rules, but rules vary by country and state, so check yours. In the US, CAN-SPAM allows business email if you identify yourself, include your postal address and honor opt-outs. In the UK, PECR lets you email companies without prior consent if you offer an easy opt-out (sole traders need consent). In Canada, CASL allows it when the business publishes its address and your message relates to its work. LeadsIt only collects public business data.
How much does it cost?
Your first city search is included with a new account, no card needed, and shows you its 5 strongest businesses. To get the full list, packs start at $6.90 for 5 credits, with no subscription, and credits never expire. One credit is one city search; a whole region is 13.
