Written for / Manufacturers, fabricators and industrial suppliers

The trade show badge scans are still in a spreadsheet.

Industrial sales runs on reps, distributors and a few shows a year. The leads are good and the follow-up is thin. Upload the scans and Command Center works every one of them, and every dormant account, on LinkedIn and email, with the RFQ tracked on a pipeline beside your ERP.

Fig. 01 / The stack you have

Your best salespeople are on the road, and the inbox waits for them.

A territory rep sees a handful of customers a day. Nobody is reaching the companies that have never heard of you.

  • 01
    Show leads go cold. The scans are exported, emailed around and followed up by whoever has time.
  • 02
    Buyers change jobs. The sourcing manager who knew your shop left, and the new one has never seen your capability sheet.
  • 03
    The ERP knows orders, not prospects. Anything before the first PO is tracked in email and memory.

Honest scope. Swapping the 12 tools on the receipt for Command Center saves about $233 a month per seat at list. The bigger win is one login and one inbox for every reply. It does not replace your ERP, quoting and lead source; it works beside them.

A fictional contract machining shop looking for medical device work.

  1. Your list + enrichment + Prospect IQ

    Find

    You upload the badge scans from the show as a CSV, and add a LinkedIn search for sourcing and engineering managers at device makers in your region. Enrichment fills in each profile and finds and verifies work emails. Prospect IQ then scores every contact from 0 to 100 against the ICP rules you set: title, seniority, industry, department and company size.

    Will do. I will send the capability sheet and our mutual NDA for signature today. Once it is signed, send the housing drawings and we will quote within the week.

  4. Pipeline + deals

    Close

    The rep creates a deal from the thread and moves it to RFQ with an estimated annual value. The pipeline shows weighted value by stage and flags a deal that has stopped moving. The sales manager sees every open RFQ and which ones have gone quiet.

Fig. 05 / Straight answers

What sales managers ask before they buy.

Do sourcing managers and engineers really answer LinkedIn messages?

Some do and some do not, which is why the sequence uses both LinkedIn and email. We will not quote you a reply rate for your market. The Firmatek and TradeLink case studies show what happened in neighboring ones.

Does it connect to our ERP?

No. There is no ERP connection. Command Center handles everything before the first purchase order; data moves by CSV, API or webhook if you want to build that.

Does it come with a list of buyers?

No. Command Center has no built-in contact database today. You upload your own list as a CSV, or build a search in LinkedIn or Sales Navigator and run it through your own account. The platform then enriches the contacts, verifies work emails and scores each one from 0 to 100 against the ICP rules you set.

What does it cost?

Spark is $297 per license per month, billed month to month. LinkedIn and email sends are included. Credits meter AI actions, email verification and enrichment. There are larger plans for bigger teams; ask us which fits.

Is it safe for our reps' LinkedIn accounts?

No vendor can honestly promise zero risk, because LinkedIn sets and enforces its own rules. Sequences run from your own LinkedIn account, so volume and targeting matter: keep daily activity modest, send only to people who fit, and go through the sending settings with us before you launch.

Can distributors or outside reps use it?

Yes, as users in your workspace. For a larger channel, separate white-label workspaces are possible. Ask about partner pricing.

What does it not do?

It does not run SMS, outbound dialing, retargeting or display ads, or payment collection. It has no built-in calendar scheduler, so you use your own booking link. It has no built-in contact database and no native sync to a CRM: data moves by CSV, API or webhook. It does not cost quotes, manage inventory or take orders.
