I run Opta, a modern lead distribution platform built to help lead buyers and sellers earn more per lead with less manual work.

If you're buying leads, we'll help you improve your lead quality, easily manage all your lead sources in one place, and optimize faster so you can scale what works and kill what doesn't. In short, protect your ad spend and increase return on ad spend with less grunt work.

If you're selling leads, we'll help you streamline your buyer management, increase revenue per lead, and reduce your unsold lead inventory. In short, sell more leads at higher prices with automation.

Want to see Opta in action or chat lead gen? Drop me a DM or shoot me an email at cole at opta.io
