Exclusive vs shared
Exclusive leads vs.
shared lead networks
Lead marketplaces sell the same call to whoever answers first. We run an exclusive pipeline that's yours alone. Here's the honest difference.
Shared lead networks
Pay-per-lead marketplaces
- The same lead is sold to several contractors at once
- First to call wins. You race the clock on every lead
- Pay per lead or per call, so cost swings month to month
- Bad-lead credits require an answered call, a recording, and a multi-day review
- The platform owns the customer relationship and the data
- Lead quality varies, and you carry all the risk
Boosted Leads™

Don't take our word for it
The networks say it themselves
up to 4
Lead networks' own help docs state a single shared lead can be sold to up to four contractors at once. You're paying to compete for a call three other companies also bought.
70-90%
Even networks that sell exclusive leads report 70-90% close rates on them, because when you're the only one who calls, you win far more of the work.
Figures reflect lead networks' own publicly published claims about their own service; your results depend on your business. Boosted Leads delivers exclusivity as the default, not a paid upgrade.
