Where to find prospects

30 prospects in 30 minutes. Don't over-research.

Google Maps (primary)

Paste these queries, scroll, grab name + mobile + Google profile URL:

  • emergency plumber north london
  • electrician harrow / electrician croydon / electrician watford (any town you know)
  • boiler repair [town]
  • 24 hour plumber [town]
  • gas engineer [town]
  • local electrician near me

Why "emergency" / "24hr"? Those operators live by the phone — exactly who feels the pain of a missed call.

Qualification (30 seconds per lead, max)

Glance at the Google profile, tick mentally:

  • ✅ Mobile number shown (07…) → he answers his own phone. Best lead.
  • ✅ Recent Google reviews (within ~3 months) → active, getting calls, has cash.
  • ✅ Small operator (one name, one van vibe) → no receptionist, feels the pain, can say yes himself.
  • ✅ Has a website or detailed Google profile → cares about getting work.
  • ❌ Skip: big firms with a switchboard, no reviews in a year, landline only, "temporarily closed".

If it's mobile + recent reviews + sole trader → dial it first.

Build the day's list first

Spend the first 20 minutes of the day building 40 leads into the Call Log. Then dial. Don't search-and-dial — you'll lose rhythm.
