How insurance agents find newly licensed contractors
Timing is the entire advantage. Here's why the week a contractor gets licensed is the moment to reach them — and how to get that list without living in fifty state portals.
The window is short
A newly licensed contractor is buying GL, a surety bond, and equipment in the same few weeks — and usually hasn't committed to an agent yet. The agent who shows up first, before the field crowds in, wins the relationship.
The data is public — but painful
Every state licensing board publishes new licenses. They're also scattered across dozens of portals, formatted differently, and slow to surface. Pulling them by hand, every week, across states, is exactly the grind that never gets done.
The shortcut
First Call Feed pulls, normalizes, and verifies new licenses across states and delivers the week's fresh ones every Monday — call-ready, with carrier and expiration where available. You skip the portals and spend the time selling.

Why target newly licensed contractors?
A contractor who just got licensed is buying general liability, a bond, and equipment right now, and usually hasn't picked an agent yet. Reaching them first is the whole game.
Where can I find newly licensed contractors?
State licensing boards publish the records, but they're scattered, slow, and formatted inconsistently. A normalized weekly feed like First Call Feed does the assembly for you.
How fast does timing matter?
Fast. The first agent to reach a new licensee has a large edge, so a weekly cadence beats a quarterly list.
