Lead marketplaces, PPC, directories, cold calling - and 9amLeads. We'll be straight with you about how each one works.
| Lead Marketplaces buying shared enquiries |
PPC / Ads pay per click |
Directories listing & referrals |
9amLeads fresh data feed |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freshness | ✘ Often sold and re-sold for days | As fresh as the buyer's search | Varies by enquiry | ✔ Prioritised from last 24 hours |
| Do you compete with others for the same lead? | ✘ Usually yes, 3-5 buyers | Yes, every bidder | ✘ Often yes | ✔ Your own daily allocation |
| Predictable cost | Per-lead, varies | ✘ Rising auction costs | Fees vary | ✔ Fixed weekly price |
| Postcode targeting | Limited | ✔ Yes | Limited | ✔ Your chosen areas |
| Tools to convert | Rarely | No | No | ✔ Scoring, templates, Print & Post, CRM |
| Verify the source | ✘ Often unclear | N/A | N/A | ✔ Source links included |
| Never sent the same lead twice | ✘ No | N/A | N/A | ✔ Yes |
Opportunities are prioritised from the last 24 hours of live public data and delivered at 9am every working day. You act on the day, not weeks later.
We're a subscription data feed, not a marketplace that auctions the same enquiry to 3-5 buyers. You get your own daily allocation, never sent the same lead twice.
Opportunity scoring, draft outreach, marketing templates, lead management, CRM exports and optional Print & Post with live tracking.
Postcode, county or keyword targeting means your team only sees opportunities worth acting on. Change your areas anytime.
Where available, every opportunity carries its original source link so you can verify it yourself. No mystery data.
Everyone emails. Few post. Print & Post puts your letter in their hand - watch the phone ring, stop chasing leads.
Both services involve sending marketing through the post. The difference is the data, transparency, freshness and tracking behind it.
| Traditional Address & Leaflet Providers bought lists & mailings |
9amLeads tracked, verifiable data feed |
|
|---|---|---|
| Where each lead came from | ✘ Little to no transparency - you get addresses, not the reason | ✔ Every lead shows its original source, so you can verify it yourself |
| How fresh the data is | ✘ You don't know how current the list really is | ✔ Fresh opportunities every day, prioritised from the last 24-48 hours |
| A record of everything you sent | Rarely - no individual record | ✔ Track every lead you send to Print & Post from your dashboard |
| Know who you've already marketed to | ✘ Often no idea | ✔ See exactly which prospects you've already mailed |
| Verifying an opportunity is genuine | You're asked to trust the list | ✔ Open the source and check each opportunity for yourself |
| Working the leads | Spreadsheets and sticky notes | ✔ Interactive dashboard with notes and status tracking |
| Automating the campaign | ✘ Manual, one at a time | ✔ Auto Send automates your Print & Post campaigns |
| Scaling up | Re-buy a list and start again | ✔ Bulk buy extra opportunities whenever you want more |
With many traditional address providers you receive addresses to market to, but very little transparency behind the data - you don't necessarily know where each opportunity came from, how fresh it is, or have an individual record of everything you've sent. With 9amLeads you can:
Every individual opportunity shows where it originated, so you're never just handed a list and asked to trust it.
Open the source information yourself and confirm the opportunity is real and current before you spend a penny.
New, current opportunities land in your dashboard every working day - not a stale list bought months ago.
Every individual lead you send through Print & Post can be tracked from your own dashboard.
Know exactly which prospects you've already marketed to, so you never double-post or waste budget.
Manage everything through one interactive dashboard - no spreadsheets, no scattered notes.
Add notes and move leads through contacted, quoted, won or lost so nothing falls through the cracks.
Use Auto Send to automate your Print & Post campaigns and let 9amLeads handle the posting for you.
Bulk buy additional opportunities whenever you want to increase your marketing.
You can see the source information and dashboard for yourself and compare it directly with what you're currently receiving. We think you'll immediately see the difference.
