Practical resources
Practical field-sales strategies for turning fresh permit and business-opening signals into conversations and opportunities.
If your pipeline is dead, stop waiting at the desk. Fresh permits show where new business is being built before everyone else shows up.

Fresh building permits help reps find the door before everyone else is standing in the lobby.
Read the guideWhat PermitPub Research analyzes
PermitPub works with different record types depending on the jurisdiction, including building permits, business licenses, certificates of occupancy, and other public-record sales signals.
Each report identifies its record type, coverage dates, sample rules, exclusions, and known gaps. Permit activity is described as construction activity—not automatically as population or economic growth.
Work the signals
PermitPub helps sales professionals find fresh public-record signals from businesses that are opening, building, remodeling, moving, or expanding.
