I was paying $850/mo for ConstructConnect and it took me 4 hours a week to filter to HVAC-relevant. Shovel Radar emails me the same list in 30 seconds, already filtered. Cancelled CC the week I started.
Closed a $40K commercial repaint from the second-ever email I got. The "when to call" column told me exactly when the drywall was done. Cold-called the GC the next morning.

I run my BD off the federal contract awards layer alone. Used to subscribe to MERX and CanadaBuys separately and still missed the cross-vendor patterns. Now it's one Excel.
First Monday delivery had a fitout I didn't even know was happening 2 blocks from our showroom. Walked the dog past it on Wednesday, had a 30-minute conversation with the owner.
The AHS Failed Inspection Radar is the closest thing to a buy-now button I've seen in our trade. The deficiency description tells you exactly what they need fixed before they call anyone.
