The buyers your competitors can't reach

Most restoration companies only know how to sell residential and insurance work.

The direct commercial buyers (schools, healthcare, data centers, multifamily, affordable housing, commercial tech, government) buy differently. Different stakeholders, different cycles, different language. Rel8 builds the system, the playbook, and the sales habits that win them.

Dan Richards, Founder of Rel8

I manage restoration partnerships with the biggest tech companies in the world. Rel8 is the system I use to win them.

I'm Dan Richards. I run point on the restoration partnerships behind some of the most demanding largest tech companies in the world.

Selling into those accounts is nothing like selling residential or insurance work. The stakeholders are different. The sales cycle is different. The bar for response time, documentation, and trust is different. Most restoration companies never get past procurement.

Rel8 is the operator system I built from the inside of those relationships. CRM, AI, field ops, and the sales rhythm that holds when the account is too big to run on memory.

If you want to win that tier of buyer, this is the system that gets you in the room and keeps you there.

The problem

Why commercial buyers pass on you.

Direct commercial buyers check your operation before they sign. An operation built for adjusters fails that check.

  • Your PM is dispatching jobs from a group text
  • Estimates go out five days after the call
  • Invoices land 21 days after job close
  • Your forecast is a guess
  • Follow-up depends on whoever remembers

Most restoration companies don't have a sales problem, they have a systems problem.
