Outsourced sales development for commercial Glass

Commercial glass appointment setting: storefront and glazing work you can schedule

Most glass companies live between two kinds of work: emergency board-ups and replacements that pay well but cannot be planned, and GC bid work that keeps crews busy at thin margins. We book meetings with property managers, retail and restaurant facility teams, contractors and architects, so more of your work comes from accounts that call you again.

Qualified glass meetings on your calendar, booked by U.S.-based SDRs under your name.

What we fix

Why glass pipelines stall, and what changes

  • Emergency work that never becomes an account

    Your SDR follows up with properties and stores after the repair and with others like them, to set up priority service before the next break.

  • Thin margins on bid work

    Direct relationships with owners and property managers bring negotiated repair and replacement work alongside GC bids.

  • Specs written before you see the job

    We put you in front of architects and designers early, so the system and details reflect what you install well.

  • Regional buyers who are hard to find

    We map the regional facilities and construction managers behind each store-level contact and work both.

How it works

How we fill your glass calendar

  1. Build the list

    Property managers, retail and restaurant groups, GCs and design firms in your service area, matched to storefront, glazing or interior glass work.

  2. Run the outreach

    A U.S.-based SDR team works phone, email and LinkedIn under your company name, opening with response time for repairs and your best project types.

  3. Book qualified meetings

    Every meeting has the right company, the right contact and a real timing reason, from a remodel program to a building with failing units.

  4. Nurture the rest

    Accounts that are not ready stay in a follow-up cadence until the next tenant turnover, remodel or emergency.

Every meeting clears three checks before it reaches you

  • Right companyAn account that fits the work you want.
  • Right contactSomeone who signs or shapes the decision.
  • Right timingA stated need or a reason to talk now.

Then it is graded on our 25-point 5 Star Scorecard. What counts as a qualified appointment.

We take one glass client per territory

If yours is open, a strategist can walk you through the target list, the outreach and the meeting number on one call.

Where the pipeline comes from

The accounts a glass program calls

  • Retail chains and franchise groups

    Storefronts, entrance doors and closers take abuse every day, and vandalism or a car through the front window means same-day work. Multi-store operators want one glass vendor for the region.

  • Property management companies

    Office buildings and retail centers generate a steady flow of broken units, fogged insulated glass and worn door hardware, and the property manager picks who gets the call.

  • General contractors

    Storefront, curtain wall, interior glass and mirrors on tenant improvements and new buildings. GCs keep using glazing subs who price fast and hit dates.

  • Architects and interior designers

    They specify storefront systems, partitions and railings. Being the installer they trust for details puts your company in the conversation before the bid.

  • Corporate offices and tenants

    Glass conference rooms, demountable partitions and entry suites go in during renovations and tenant build-outs.

  • Restaurant and hospitality groups

    Entrances, patio enclosures, shower doors and mirrors, with renovation cycles across every property in the group.

Who decides

The people behind a glass buying decision

Property manager or building engineer
Controls
Repair calls, door hardware, failed seals and who gets the after-hours board-up call.

How to open: Ask who they called the last time a storefront got broken overnight and how long it stayed boarded.

Facilities manager at a retail or restaurant group
Controls
Vendor standards across stores and the repair and remodel budget.

How to open: Ask how many locations they cover and whether each store still finds its own glass company.

GC estimator or project manager
Controls
Glazing sub invitations and bid comparisons on tenant improvement and new work.

How to open: Ask which storefront and interior glass packages they are pricing this quarter.

Architect or interior designer
Controls
Which systems get specified and which installers they rely on to work out details.

How to open: Ask which storefront and partition systems they specify most and who they call when a detail does not work.

Reasons to call

What opens a glass account

  • Break-ins and vandalism

    An emergency repair is the moment a property or store manager decides whether to keep the vendor they had. Following up after the board-up is how that relationship starts.

  • Tenant turnover and build-outs

    New tenants mean new storefronts, entrances and interior glass, priced by the GC or the landlord's project manager.

  • Fogged units and failing entrances

    Failed seals, leaking frames and doors that drag add up across a building until the owner budgets a replacement instead of more repairs.

  • Brand refreshes and remodels

    Chains roll out new storefront standards across many locations, which is a program, not a one-off job.

  • Accessibility and door hardware upgrades

    Automatic operators, panic hardware and accessible entrances get added during renovations and after complaints.

Our terms

Why companies hand us the phones

  • Program commitments

    Program expectations and commitments are defined in your agreement. Before launch we agree on what a qualified meeting is, who we call and how results are reported.

  • Exclusive to your territory

    One glass client per territory. We will not run the same program for your direct competitor in your territory.

  • A U.S.-based SDR team

    Your SDR works under your company's name from our St. Louis campus, home to 500+ U.S.-based team members.

  • Every meeting graded

    Every booked meeting is graded on a 25-point scorecard before it reaches your calendar. Grade a sample call yourself.

Straight answers

What we hear before a program starts

  • “Our best work comes from referrals.”

    Keep every one of them. Referrals close well, but they do not arrive on a schedule and they never reach the accounts that have not heard of you. Outbound adds a source you control, under your name, so a slow referral quarter does not turn into a slow year.

  • “Our buyers do not answer cold calls.”

    Most do not, the first time. That is why your SDR works phone, email and LinkedIn together and keeps going after the first no. Meetings come from persistence and a specific reason to talk, not a clever script.

  • “We tried an appointment setter and the meetings were junk.”

    Then nobody pinned down what a meeting was. Before launch we agree on the definition with you: right company, right contact, right timing. Every meeting is graded on our 25-point 5 Star Scorecard before it reaches your calendar.

  • “We could hire our own SDR.”

    You can. Then the recruiting, training, data, dialer and management are yours, and a hire that does not work out costs months before you know it. With us the SDR, the data and the management come with the program. Program expectations and commitments are defined in your agreement.

Customer results

Client results, published only with approval

We publish a client result after the client approves it and the figure has a period. There is no approved glass story yet, so we are not showing one. The Success library has approved stories from other industries, and a strategist can introduce you to a current client on request.

Abstrakt SDR for Clearview Commercial GlassBooking for a client in commercial glass. Calling Dana Ellis, decision-maker.
  1. Opener
    Abstrakt SDRHi Dana, this is Chris with Clearview Commercial Glass on a recorded line. I know I'm catching you in the middle of the day, so I'll keep this short. How are you today?
  2. ProspectOkay. What's this about?
  3. Reason for the call
    Abstrakt SDRThe reason for my call, we handle storefront glass and entrances for property managers across the metro, and your company came up managing about seven retail centers. I wanted to see who you call when a storefront gets broken overnight.
  4. Pushback
    ProspectWe already have a glass company.
  5. Feel, felt, found
    Abstrakt SDRI understand. A lot of the people I talk to felt the same way at first, and what they found is that a second look cost them nothing. When your glass company fixes a break, that covers the repair. Ours is a written condition report on every storefront and entrance. It's a second document at no cost, and if they've got everything handled it will say so.
  6. ProspectOkay, that makes sense.
  7. Qualify
    Abstrakt SDRTwo quick things so I send the right estimator out. Is it roughly seven retail centers, and are you the one who signs off on repair vendors, or does that go somewhere else?
  8. ProspectSeven, yes. We get a break every month or so. And yes, that's me.
  9. Decision-making question
    Abstrakt SDRBesides you, who else is usually involved when a decision like this gets made?
  10. ProspectThe owners get a vendor list. But I make the approvals.
  11. Timeline
    Abstrakt SDRAnd when are you looking to have this sorted out?
  12. ProspectBefore the holidays. That's when it gets bad.
  13. Differentiator
    Abstrakt SDRWhat we do differently is the survey itself. We check every storefront, door and closer and hand you a written condition report at no charge either way. And after hours we board up the same night and give you a replacement date before we leave.
  14. ProspectA date before they leave? That alone would be new.
  15. Consideration question
    Abstrakt SDRIf what we show you makes sense, is Clearview Commercial Glass a company you'd consider working with down the road?
  16. ProspectSure, I'd consider it.
  17. Close for the meeting
    Abstrakt SDRLet's put it on the calendar. I have Tuesday the 15th at 10, or Thursday the 17th at 2. Which is better? I'll send the invite while we're on the line, and I'll add Warren Doyle's mobile to it.
  18. Meeting set
    ProspectThursday at two.
  19. Recap the agenda
    Abstrakt SDRGreat. So that's Thursday the 17th at 2 o'clock, in person at your office, and we'll keep it to thirty minutes. Warren Doyle, our project manager, will walk one of the centers with you, check the storefronts and entrances, and leave you the written condition report. When he gets there, where should he check in?
  20. ProspectManagement office. Suite one ten.
  21. Confirm details
    Abstrakt SDRLet me confirm your details: your title, the best email for the invite, and that we're meeting at your office address.
  22. ProspectProperty manager. It's dana dot ellis at our company dot com. And yes.
  23. Invite sent
    Abstrakt SDRPerfect. I'm sending the invite now. Could you accept it when it comes through, so the time is held? Thanks, Dana. Warren will see you Thursday.
