Steady GC work for established subcontractors. Without running your own outbound.

Across 17,600+ outreach emails we've sent for subs, we've generated 165 GC replies from 94 different contractors — and 1 in 3 of those replies is from a GC actively interested in working with our subs.

Live funnel so far: 17,600+ emails sent → 165 GC replies → 58 interested replies → 69 deals tracked (all subs combined). 96% of replies are worth reading — only 4% say "leave us alone."

Who we're built for (and who we're not)

What established subs see when they plug into Donyus.

Best fit subs usually look like this:

  • Doing $300k+/year in revenue
  • At least 1 full-time helper or crew
  • Most work comes from GCs or bid invites
  • Can take 3+ good jobs in the next 60 days
  • Happy to skim conversation updates and answer the odd trade-specific question — we run the back-and-forth until there's a real bid
  • The GC conversations we run turn into real opportunities — 4 in 10 replies become live deals in our subs' pipelines.

We're probably not a fit if:

  • You're brand-new or under $300k/year
  • You're a solo operator who just needs "one big job to save us"
  • You hate software and won't open email or a CRM
  • You expect "instant jobs" without bidding or following up

What happens in your first 30 days

Days 1–3

Set up the machine

2

Days 4–14

Start real GC conversations

  • Launch your outbound campaigns
  • We run the GC conversations and monitor everything daily

  • We ping you only for a trade-specific answer a GC needs from you
  • No inbox to babysit — you stay on the jobsite
3

Days 15–30

First bids + your rhythm

  • When a conversation becomes a real opportunity, it's handed to you to bid
  • We line up the context, so you're bidding — not digging through threads
  • Lock your best GCs into ongoing follow-up (we keep running it)
  • A light rhythm you can actually keep
  • See what's working — and keep the momentum going

Across all live campaigns so far, 96% of the GC replies we get are worth reading (only 7 of 165 asked to be left alone), and about 4 in 10 turn into a live deal in the sub's pipeline. You see real conversations, not spam complaints. (Deal = a tracked bid / opportunity, not a guaranteed won job.)

What you get with a 90-Day GC Deal Flow Build

Verified GC list in your area

100+ hand-picked GCs in your trade and service area, cleaned and verified so you're not blasting dead inboxes. So far that's produced 165 GC replies from 94 different contractors for subs on Donyus.

Done-for-you email engine

Domain setup, warmup, and 10-email sequence written for you, tuned for subs talking to GCs (not generic marketing fluff). The sequences aren't theory — they're tuned from 17,600+ GC outreach emails already sent for subs, and 1 in 3 replies come back from contractors actively interested.

Your GC deal flow in one place

We connect your email and set up your pipelines and dashboards inside the Donyus CRM — so every GC reply, conversation, and bid lives in one place you actually run from, instead of scattered across your inbox and spreadsheets.

Bi-weekly check-ins for 90 days

Short calls to review pipeline, fine-tune campaigns, and keep you on track to a predictable GC rhythm.

If this looks like a lot of moving parts, here's the simple version: Donyus gives a small sub the outbound arm of a big contractor — finding good GCs, emailing them, and turning replies into bid-ready opportunities in the background — without the sales team, the ad budget, or the payroll. Over 17,600+ emails so far, 1 in 3 replies came back from a GC actively interested in working with our subs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the GC Deal Flow Build?

It’s a 90-day implementation where we set up, launch, and tune a GC outbound system for your trade: list, email engine, and dashboard. You finish with a working pipeline and a clear rhythm, not just a report.

Who is this best for?

Established subs doing roughly $300k+/year with at least one helper or crew, who want steadier GC work and are tired of only getting calls when things are slow.

Is this just another piece of software I have to babysit?

No. Donyus is closer to having the outbound arm of a big contractor than buying another app. You approve the strategy and the messages — it does the grunt work of finding GCs, emailing them, and feeding every reply into one place so you can stay on the jobsite. Big GCs pay a sales team and an ad budget to keep work coming in; this gives a small sub that same machine without the payroll.

How fast do results usually show up?

Most subs see their first real GC replies and conversations within the first 2–4 weeks, once the domain is warm and campaigns are live. The full 90 days are about turning that into a repeatable system.

Do you sell me leads?

No. We don’t run a lead marketplace. We build and run your outbound system using contacts in your target area, so you own the relationships and the data.

What happens after 90 days?

If the system is working and you want to stay hands-off, you can roll into our ongoing GC Outbound Management plan where we keep lists clean, monitor deliverability, and continue campaigns for you while you focus on bids and jobs.

What does this cost?

On the call we’ll walk through pricing for the 90-day build and, if it’s a fit, the optional maintenance plan after. We only work with subs where the math makes sense.

Are these replies actually serious, or just ‘take me off your list’?

So far, 96% of the GC replies we’ve generated have been worth reading — only 7 out of 165 asked to be left alone. Most replies are either interested, asking for more info, or opening the door for a future bid list. That’s why we start with a 90-Day Build — start the 7-minute qualification to see if you’re a fit.

What usually happens when you start reaching out for a sub?

Across all live campaigns to date, the funnel looks like this: 17,600+ emails sent → 165 GC replies → 58 replies from GCs actively interested in working with our subs → 69 live deals created in their pipelines. About 1 in 3 replies is a GC actively interested and roughly 4 in 10 become tracked deals. Those are aggregate system results, not a guarantee — start the 7-minute qualification to see if you’re a fit.
