Outsourced sales development for commercial Moving

Commercial moving appointment setting: meet the client before the move goes out to bid

An office move is decided long before moving day. The lease gets signed, a broker and a project manager get involved, the furniture is ordered, and by the time movers are asked to bid, two or three of them already know the client. We book the meetings that make you one of those movers, with the facility managers, brokers and project managers who plan office and facility relocations.

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

What we fix

Why commercial moving pipelines stall, and what changes

  • Competing in a residential market

    Outbound targets commercial accounts only, so your sales team spends time on office, lab and facility relocations.

  • Moves that are decided before the bid

    Your SDR reaches facility managers and brokers early, while the lease and plan are still in motion.

  • Lumpy project revenue

    We open conversations about internal moves, reconfigurations, decommissioning and storage, which bring steady work between relocations.

  • Many people involved in one move

    We map facilities, IT, the broker and the project manager on each account so you are not waiting on one contact.

How it works

How we fill your commercial moving calendar

  1. Build the list

    Companies, healthcare systems, labs, schools and agencies in your market, plus the brokers, project managers and furniture dealers who plan moves with them.

  2. Run the outreach

    A U.S.-based SDR team works phone, email and LinkedIn under your company name, opening with lease timing and the parts of a move clients worry about most.

  3. Book qualified meetings

    Every meeting has the right company, the right contact and a real timing reason, such as a lease end, a consolidation or a signed new space.

  4. Nurture the rest

    Accounts that are not ready stay in a follow-up cadence until the lease decision is made.

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 commercial moving 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 commercial moving program calls

  • Corporate offices relocating or consolidating

    Lease expirations and smaller footprints drive moves, and the same company may also need decommissioning, storage and reconfiguration work.

  • Healthcare systems and clinics

    Department moves, clinic openings and equipment relocations that have to happen around patient schedules.

  • Laboratories and life science companies

    Lab equipment, samples and instruments need careful handling, scheduling and documentation.

  • Universities and school districts

    Department, library and classroom moves, often during breaks, plus summer swing-space moves during renovations.

  • Government agencies

    Office relocations and consolidations bought through bids and contract vehicles, with long planning lead times.

  • Tenant brokers, project managers and furniture dealers

    They see moves first and recommend movers to their clients, so one relationship can bring several projects.

Who decides

The people behind a commercial moving buying decision

Facilities or workplace manager
Controls
Move planning, vendor selection and the internal moves that happen between relocations.

How to open: Ask when the current lease ends and whether the next space is bigger, smaller or still being decided.

Office manager or operations lead at a smaller company
Controls
The whole move, often as a side job on top of their normal work.

How to open: Ask who is coordinating the move and how many vendors they have to manage to get it done.

Tenant rep broker or owner's project manager
Controls
Timelines, vendor recommendations and who the client meets.

How to open: Ask which clients have signed leases with move dates coming up and how they choose movers to recommend.

IT director
Controls
Disconnect, transport and reconnect of servers, workstations and network gear.

How to open: Ask how the last IT move went and what they would do differently.

Reasons to call

What opens a commercial moving account

  • Lease expirations

    Companies start planning a relocation well before the lease ends. Reaching them while they are deciding to stay or go puts you in the planning.

  • Office consolidations

    Hybrid work and cost cutting shrink footprints, which brings moves, furniture decommissioning and storage.

  • New lease signings and build-outs

    A signed lease and a tenant improvement project set the move date, and the project team starts lining up vendors.

  • Mergers and acquisitions

    Combining teams means combining offices, often across several locations.

  • Renovations that need swing space

    Departments move out and back in, which is two moves and often storage in between.

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 commercial moving 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 commercial moving 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.

Calculate my opportunity

What a commercial moving pipeline takes, in your numbers

Set a monthly meeting goal and your own conversion rates. Green tags are Abstrakt history, yellow is a broader cross-industry benchmark, gray tags are your inputs. Value appears once you enter your own average.

Your inputs

125 is the cross-industry average from our sales center, not a commercial moving rate. Change it if you know yours.

An appointment is not a proposal. 25% is only a starting example, not Abstrakt data: use your own experience.

20% is a starting example, not Abstrakt data. Use your own close rate.

What a new customer is worth to you in the first year.

Illustrative math from your inputs. It updates as you type.

  • 1,000dials a month
  • 48dials every working day
  • 2proposals a month
  • 0.4wins a month, on average
  • 4.8wins from 12 months at this pace
  • 96meetings over 12 months
  • Enter your average first-year deal value to see contract value. We do not fill in a number for you.

How this works: appointments x dials per appointment = outreach, spread over 21 working days. Appointments x your proposal rate x win rate = wins. Wins x your value = contract value: what signed work is worth, not revenue recognized. Fractions are monthly averages. Not a forecast, a quote or a promise.
