The economics

One contract pays for the system. Everything after is margin.

Commercial maintenance agreements are the most valuable revenue in plumbing: recurring, predictable, and the first call when something bursts at 2am. Outbound is how you get in the room for them. Here is the math.

$50k+
what a single commercial maintenance contract can be worth per year, before emergency call-outs are counted
5 to 8
touches it typically takes before a facility manager responds. Almost nobody sustains that by hand
40%
of bought lead lists can be people who will never hire a plumber. PlumFlow scores them out before you pay to reach them
The napkin math

Run the numbers on one win.

Contracts compound. The building you sign this quarter renews next year, adds emergency work in between, and refers the property manager's next building. That is why one win covers the system and then some.

And that math assumes email alone. It ignores the LinkedIn motion running beside it, the call list it builds for you, and every lead that replies six months later because the follow-up never dropped the ball.

Worked exampleOne maintenance agreement, held three years

Year 1 contract value $50,000

Renewals, years 2 and 3 $100,000

Emergency work on top $15,000+

One relationship $165,000+

Your rates will differ. The shape of the math will not.
The first 90 days

What the system does before your first renewal conversation.

Weeks 1 to 2: the list

Your service area is mapped: hotels, senior living, property management, restaurants, industrial. Every contact is scored, and the ones who can actually sign are separated from the ones who never will.

Weeks 3 to 6: the campaigns

Emails go out in your name, from your own mailboxes, at a pace that protects your domain. Replies land in one inbox with suggested answers. Every open and click is tracked to a person.

Weeks 7 to 12: the compounding

Follow-up sequences mature, meetings reach your calendar, and the Friday report starts steering: which subject lines win, which industries answer, where to push next.

Numbers you can audit

We report like you answer to a board.

Every percentage in PlumFlow carries its raw count next to it. A 50% reply rate on two sends says so. Small samples are labeled small. The Friday report your team reads shows the same numbers the system sees, with proposed changes you approve or dismiss, because nothing about your outreach should change without your sign-off.

PlumFlow grew up inside a working multi-company commercial plumbing group before it was ever a product. Every feature exists because a contractor needed it on a Tuesday, not because a roadmap said so. That is also why the reporting is honest: it was built to be read by the people who sign the checks.
