Does This Sound Like Your Yard?
Your Sales Team Became an Order Desk
Your reps are servicing existing accounts. They're not making outbound calls. They're not chasing new builders. Nobody's prospecting.
You Can't Find Outside Sales Reps
56% of LBM dealers say outside sales is one of their hardest roles to fill. The posting has been up for months. The candidates aren't there.
Hiring Is Expensive Even When It Works
Base salary, benefits, vehicle, CRM, lead lists. $60–80K+ before they close a single deal. Six months to ramp. That's if they don't quit.
Every Week Without Prospecting Is Lost Revenue
Builders in your metro are pulling permits right now who've never heard of your yard. They're buying lumber from someone. Will it be you?
LBM Sales Exists Because Hiring Is Broken.
This Is the Alternative.
We Handle Everything.
You Close the Deals.
A fully managed sales operation running daily in your metro. From permit prospecting to building plan delivery.
1–2 building plans delivered every week for over 2 years and counting.
Country Lumber — Metro Vancouver
We Assign a Dedicated Rep to Your Metro
They work only for you. No split attention, no competing yards. Your metro is locked exclusively.
Your Rep Prospects Using Live Permit Data
Every day, they pull fresh permits from BuildMapper. New residential builds, commercial projects, renovations. The right builders, the right timing.
They Make the Calls
Cold outreach, follow-ups, emails, SMS. Your rep works the pipeline daily, qualifies opportunities, and logs everything in the CRM.
Building Plans Land on Your Desk
When a builder is ready to quote, your rep delivers the plans. You quote it. You close it. You fulfill it.
This Is Not Cold Calling.
This Is Permit-Powered Prospecting.
Your rep isn't dialing from a stale list. They're calling builders who are actively starting projects in your metro, equipped with everything they need before picking up the phone.
Name, company, and direct contact info — before the first dial.
Single-family, multi-family, commercial, or renovation — your rep knows before calling.
The specific address in your metro. Not a city. The street.
Calling within days of issuance means the builder hasn't committed to a supplier yet. Timing is everything.
Example opening line
“Hey, I saw you just started a project on Maple Drive. I'm with Country Lumber and we work with a lot of builders in the area — would you like us to put together a framing package for you?”
Already have a relationship with a builder? They get flagged. When they pull their next permit, your rep knows immediately — not a cold call, just a timely check-in.
The data isn't purchased from a broker. It's scraped directly from municipal sources across North America, enriched, and piped into the CRM your rep works from every day.
One Yard.
One Metro.
No Exceptions.
When LBM Sales partners with a lumber yard, that metro belongs to them. No other lumber yard in that metro can sign up and your rep is 100% aligned with your interests.
Metros are assigned first-come, first-served. Once a metro is locked, it's locked. Check the map. Is yours still open?
Country Lumber.
Metro Vancouver.
They have been an absolute game-changer for our revenue growth. They didn't just hand us leads; they built our entire outbound engine from the ground up, handling the heavy lifting of prospecting, calling, and rigorous follow-up. What sets them apart is how seamlessly they integrate with our operations, functioning like a true extension of our internal team rather than an outside vendor. The result was over $2 Million in net-new business for us in 2025.
7 Days. No Risk.
Real Results.
We are so confident this works that we will prove it before you spend a single dollar. LBM Sales risks our time and caller costs. You risk nothing.
7 Days, Zero Cost
A dedicated rep prospects your metro for a full week — completely free. No credit card. No contract. No obligation.
Real Building Plans
The deliverable isn't leads or contacts. It's actual building plans from builders who are ready to get a quote. Quotable, real opportunities.
You Decide
If the trial delivers 1–2 plans, you sign a 3-month exclusive at the standard rate. If it doesn't? Walk away. No follow-up pressure. No hard feelings.

Built for Lumber Yards.
Not Everyone Qualifies.
- ✓You run a lumber yard or building material dealership doing $5M+ in annual revenue
- ✓You have an outside sales team, but they're buried in servicing existing accounts
- ✓You've tried to hire more reps but the talent isn't there — you're one of the 56%
- ✓You want to grow into new builder accounts without the cost, risk, and timeline of hiring
- ✓You're willing to commit to 3 months — because building a real pipeline takes consistency
- ✕You're a one-person operation without the capacity to quote and close the plans your rep brings in
- ✕You're a retail-only yard selling to walk-in homeowners — this is for B2B builder sales
- ✕You want a one-time lead list or a blast of names — LBM Sales is an ongoing pipeline engine, not a data dump
- ✕You're not ready to commit to a metro exclusively — this only works with mutual exclusivity
Qualifying on the page saves everyone time. If this isn't the right fit, no hard feelings. If it is — let's talk.

the Industry.
LBM Sales was built by the same team behind BuildMapper — a construction sales platform used by hundreds of building material suppliers across North America.
Over 5+ years of building and running that platform, the team saw the same pattern over and over: lumber yards had the data, they had the leads, but their sales teams were too busy taking orders to actually prospect. So we started doing it for them.
Three years and 35+ client engagements later, the model has been refined down to what works: lumber yards, exclusively, one per metro, powered by permit data. The team knows the industry — permit cycles, builder relationships, framing packages, the difference between a spec home and a custom build.
We didn't learn this industry from a course or a Google search. We built the data infrastructure, ran the calls, and earned the results — one lumber yard at a time.

Operating as Salesflow before becoming LBM Sales — exclusively focused on the LBM industry
Across multiple LBM categories — lumber yards, millwork, roofing, and more
