BROCCOLI AI × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, Broccoli AI.

Abhishek, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. Broccoli AI is shaped the same way. It would have been wrong not to get this in front of you. So: a jar of honey, and the plan.

Underneath the jar: every US plumbing, HVAC, and electrical contractor mapped, the 20,000 that look like your best customers, and three campaigns we'd run for Broccoli AI in the next 30 days.

Section 01 · Why there's honey on your desk

Three things came with the jar.

01

The honey

Raw, from a US apiary. Something you'll open instead of file.

02

This page

Your market sized, the customers you already win and the accounts that look like them, and three campaigns: TAM, lookalike, intent. Built for Broccoli AI.

03

The call

Twenty minutes with Troy and Nick. We bring the account list we'd start with. You tell us where to start.

Section 02 · The company shaped like you

Lumion: zero pipeline to 50+ meetings in 31 days.

Vertical SaaS for trade and technical schools. First marketing hire, no outbound, a niche of 10,000 to 30,000 schools. We mapped five sub-verticals, timed the CDL play to a Pell Grant policy window, and routed replies straight to their SDRs. Same shape as Lumion: a public directory of buyers, a first marketing hire needing pipeline now, and a seasonal buying window before the busy season.

In the span of a month, we've had well over 100 positive responses. We've scheduled 45 to 55-plus meetings with an 80% hold rate.Andrew Jones, Head of Marketing, Lumion

Section 03 · The sweet part

What could be sweeter than 16,700 to 27,800 more of your best customers?

You already have the dream ones: the home services contractors that grow, retain, and refer others without being asked. We take those, run them through our lookalike tool, and find another 16,700 to 27,800 that look exactly like them. Then we run hyper-personalized, highly targeted outreach to every one.

Same size, same setup, same reasons to buy as the accounts on the right. Modeled, not guessed.

YOUR DREAM CUSTOMERS
  • Any Hour ServicesSaved $250K+ on a single Monday; after-hours booking rate rose to 70%+
  • Armstrong PlumbingWeekend bookings soared 900%
  • Supreme Services100% replaced after-hours and overflow call center
16,700 to 27,800home services contractors that look exactly like them
Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a home services contractor.

Every licensed plumbing, HVAC, and electrical contractor sits in Google Maps categories and state licensing rolls with revenue band, location count, and the owner or ops manager who signs. We build the list from that, enrich the buyers, and time the sends to the pre-season budgeting window.

Section 05 · Intent

You're the first supplier that comes to mind.

We'll actively monitor all 111,207 US plumbing, HVAC, and electrical contractors and reach out when the right signal shows up, so Broccoli AI is the first name an operations manager thinks of when call handling comes up.

  • New GM or Operations Manager hireLinkedIn job changes. New ops leaders audit the call-handling stack in their first 90 days.
  • PE acquisition or platform rollupPress releases and trade publications. Rollups standardize tech across newly acquired locations.
  • Multi-location expansionNew Google Maps listings and license board filings signal a contractor scaling past its current call capacity.
  • Franchise unit growthFDD filings list new units signing on, each one needing a call-handling setup fast.
  • Missed-call complaints in reviewsGoogle and Yelp reviews mentioning no answer or long hold times expose a coverage gap.
  • CSR or dispatcher job postingsIndeed and LinkedIn postings for call center roles show a staffing gap ripe for an AI CSR pitch.

Section 06 · Three strategies, deployed together

TAM, lookalike, intent. Every angle, from day one.

This isn't one list and one email. We deploy three strategies at once, each with its own angle: the whole market gets the offer, the accounts that mirror your best customers get the proof, and anyone showing a buying signal gets a note the week it happens. Then we double down on whichever one the market answers.

STRATEGY 1 · TAM

Own the whole market

TargetThe ~20,000 contractors in your sweet spot: $2M to $50M revenue, 2+ locations, enriched from Google Maps categories and state license boards
AngleOne AI platform replaces the after-hours answering service, the CSR overflow line, and the lead follow-up spreadsheet
~20,000 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetContractors that mirror Any Hour Services, Armstrong Plumbing, and Supreme Services: multi-location trades operators running ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro
AngleLead with the numbers those three saw: 900% weekend booking growth, 100% after-hours call center replacement
~16,700+ ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetContractors showing a buying signal this quarter: new ops manager hire, PE rollup, CSR job postings, or missed-call complaints in reviews
AngleA one-to-one outreach written from the signal, sent the week it happens
