About FirstLeads
FirstLeads is a subscription-based lead generation platform offering verified, geo-targeted contact data to professionals across industries such as real estate, insurance, and legal services. The platform enables businesses to subscribe to daily lead feeds filtered by county and industry, ensuring sales teams never run out of fresh prospects.
While our client already had an offline data pipeline, scaling the business required a secure self-serve SaaS product capable of managing subscriptions, automating lead delivery, and handling payments with minimal operational overhead.
To support growth, FirstLeads needed a centralized platform that could automate lead distribution, streamline onboarding, and provide real-time visibility into revenue and user activity.
What Were The Business Challenges
FirstLeads relied heavily on manual processes that limited scalability and efficiency.
Key challenges include:
- Lead sales and delivery were managed through spreadsheets and email dispatches
- Manual billing and plan management caused delays and operational overheads
- No real-time analytics for tracking revenue, user behavior, or plan performance
- Inability to offer flexible or dynamic subscription tiers at scale
- High user drop-off due to friction in signup and checkout flows
- Fragmented backend with no centralized dashboard for lead uploads, user data, or transactions
- Limited control over access management and subscription enforcement
What Was Our Solution
We designed and built a production-ready SaaS platform that focuses on automation, scalability, and visibility.
Here’s how we solved the issues:
- Built a secure self-serve SaaS platform that automates subscriptions, lead access, and revenue workflows end-to-end
- Developed a user dashboard where users can manage purchases, subscriptions, and downloads
- Created a centralized admin panel to upload lead data, manage users, assign plans, and monitor transactions
- Added real-time analytics to track total users, subscription breakdowns, and revenue insights
- Implemented flexible pricing with clearly defined Basic ($29/month) and Premium ($49/month) subscription plans
- Enabled country-based lead selection with a simple, cart-based checkout flow
- Integrated Stripe for secure payments with Google and Apple Sign-In to reduce signup friction
- Designed a conversion-focused homepage explaining lead types, pricing, and platform benefits
- Structured a clear “How it Works” flow to guide users from signup to first lead delivery
- Created a responsive interface for better usability, performance, accessibility, and conversions
- Automated lead distribution so uploaded data is instantly routed to eligible subscribers based on plan and location
