Over the last decade, I built my construction plumbing business by relentlessly searching for bid opportunities wherever I could find them. I submitted bids across multiple platforms, reached out to companies directly, and stayed persistent in following up with their contacts over months. This strategy helped me stay top of mind, leading to construction companies adding my company to their bid lists and internal vendor systems.

To secure more opportunities, I completed numerous prequalification forms, allowing me to start receiving direct invitations to bid (ITBs) via email. Over time, this approach worked—I began receiving up to 100 ITBs per day. However, managing such a high volume became overwhelming.

To stay organized, I created Gmail filters and over 20 folders, redirecting ITBs into company-specific folders. While this helped categorize my bids, I still struggled with tracking bid due dates, job details, and prioritizing the best opportunities.

Introducing Ganarpro Marketplace – Monetize Your ITBs

Instead of letting ITBs sit in your inbox, Ganarpro Marketplace allows you to turn them into revenue-generating assets.

  1. Streamline Your Bid Management with a Kanban Board
    • Upload your ITBs into Ganarpro and visualize them in a Kanban-style board.
    • Easily track which companies are bidding and when bids are due.
    • Focus on high-value bids with the best chances of winning.
  2. Sell ITBs You Can’t Bid On
    • If a project isn’t the right fit, don’t let it go to waste.
    • Make the ITB public on the Ganarpro Deal Marketplace.
    • Other contractors can purchase the ITB and add it to their pipeline.
  3. Monetize Your Efforts
    • Instead of ignoring ITBs that don’t align with your business, turn them into passive income.
    • For every ITB someone buys, you earn a portion of the sale price.
    • The time and effort you spent building relationships, prequalifying, and securing bid requests now pay off—even when you don’t bid.

By leveraging Ganarpro Marketplace, your ITB efforts don’t go to waste. You bid smarter, win more jobs, and generate revenue from unused bid opportunities—all while keeping your pipeline full.

While traditional bid management platforms focus on receiving and managing ITBs, Ganarpro Marketplace provides an additional revenue stream by allowing contractors to sell bid opportunities they don’t use. This means:

✅ You monetize your bid invitations instead of ignoring them.
✅ You track and organize ITBs with a Kanban board.
✅ You create a marketplace where other contractors can buy bid opportunities.

For contractors looking to both manage and profit from ITBs, Ganarpro Marketplace offers a unique alternative to traditional bid management tools.
