Exclusivity premium: Exclusive leads cost an average of 2.2x more than shared leads across all verticals.

โ€œAged leads cost 70-90% less than real-time leads, but require a fundamentally different approach. A 2% conversion rate on $2 leads crushes a 10% rate on $50 leads. The math is overwhelmingly in your favor.โ€
