Connections keeps track of the GCs and developers you know. Add a builder to your watchlist and when they pull a new permit, you hear about it first: scored, researched, and ready to call.
Add a company to your watchlist and every permit they pull from then on gets a score boost. Won 5+ jobs with them? Every new permit goes straight to HOT, no matter what else the score says. Your track record with a builder is the strongest signal there is.
When Scout digs into a permit from a builder you watch, the contacts it finds get saved to the company profile for good, not just to that one lead. The whole team has them the next time that builder pulls.
