First Call
by ListPrep

Every lead names the contractor.
Most come with a phone number.
You call first.

For subcontractors and suppliers. Seattle's contractor-backed permits — project cost, address, one-click city record, the company on record, and their phone number when the state registry matches — in your inbox before your first site visit.

✓ Card saved — you're in. Your first issue lands tomorrow morning, and every lead also shows up in your account.

Here’s a real one. On us.

Not a mockup — this card comes off the live feed as you read this. Subscribers get every one of them, every morning. The first one’s free.

GC JUST ATTACHED — THE CALL LIST

Most GC names hit the record days or weeks after issuance. We watch every permit from the last 60 days and flag the moment a contractor name lands — so you call the same day it becomes public.

How it works.

1
Tell us your patch.

Your zips (or all of Seattle), your minimum project size, your trade. Thirty seconds, once.

2
First Call hits your inbox every morning.

Every contractor-backed permit that matches — residential and commercial — tuned to your trade, deduped, sorted, city record linked, phone attached when our matching lands. Quiet day? No email. We don't pad.

3
You call first.

The job is public the moment it's filed. Most of your competitors will find out when the fence goes up. You'll know at breakfast.

$149/month, starting today. Cancel anytime. Every lead is a City of Seattle permit — we don't pad the feed with jobs from other cities. We never sell your info: you're the customer here, not the product.

Fair questions.

Can I see the underlying numbers first?

Yes. Our free Seattle building permit activity page breaks down every permit the city issued in the last year — by type, neighbourhood and month — including how few of them actually name a contractor. Read that before you pay us anything.

Where does this data come from?

The public record — that much we'll say. First Call watches several public sources continuously, cross-references them, and turns the result into a callable lead. The data is free the way a fish in the ocean is free; the rod, the timing, and the matching are what you're subscribing to.

Do I get the contractor's name and number?

The name, always — a lead doesn't make the email without one. The number, usually: our matching pipeline puts the phone right on the card (a confident hit on ~9 in 10). Names that attach to older records later are flagged the morning they land — that section is your call list.

Is this a marketplace? Will GCs or homeowners see me?

No. One-way feed. No profiles, no bidding, nobody knows who subscribes. You get the information; the phone call is yours to make.

Why cap the number of subscribers?

Because a lead everyone has is a lead nobody wins. If fifty of you call the same contractor the same morning, the feed is worthless — so we cap seats to keep every lead callable. When it’s full, it’s full until someone leaves.

Which areas do you cover?

Seattle. Every lead is a City of Seattle permit, so the job site is always inside the city — we would rather cover one city properly than list a map full of places we can't actually source. Note that a contractor's office is sometimes elsewhere; when it is, the card says so.

Do I have to use email?

No. Every lead lands in your account at listprep.io/first-call/leads at the same moment it goes out, where you can filter it, save the ones you want, and keep your own list. The email is the nudge; the account is the record.

Why pay for public data?

Because the data is free the way a fish in the ocean is free. First Call checks the city's feed every day, remembers what you've already seen, watches 60 days of records for GC names, filters to your patch, and lands at breakfast. You could do all that yourself, every morning, forever. That's the $149.

How do I cancel?

Reply “cancel” to any morning email. Done the same day, no phone tree, no guilt trip.
