How to buy B2B leads without a sales call

What to ask a lead vendor for instead of a call, our path from a short form to your free leads and a pack, and a test you can run on the free leads

You can buy checked B2B leads without a sales call. Pick a vendor that shows its price and lets you test on your own buyers first. With us, you give your work email and tell us who you sell to. You get 10 leads with contacts, free. Then you buy a pack at $40 a lead, by email.

Why most lead vendors want a call first

On 17 October 2026 we looked at 13 vendors that sell leads or meetings to startups. All 13 asked for a sales call before you saw a lead. Only one showed a full price per lead on its own site.

The call lets the vendor set a price for each buyer. It costs you an hour before you have seen a single lead.

What to ask for instead of a call

Write to the vendor and ask for these six things. A vendor that can answer by email does not need your time on a call.

  1. The price per lead, in writing, with no minimum order
  2. A sample on your own buyers. Ask for real people who fit the roles and company sizes you sell to
  3. A date on every lead. You want to know when the person engaged with the content
  4. What was checked, and how. "Verified" alone tells you nothing. Ask who checked, against what, and whether a call was made
  5. The terms. Is it paid once or every month? Can you stop?
  6. How many buyers get the same lead. A lead is often sold more than once

Our path, step by step

Nobody calls you. After the form, every step happens by email.

  1. You give your work email. We send your free leads only to that address
  2. You tell us who you sell to. The buyer group, their job titles, their company sizes and what you sell. You can also add your ICP as a file or in a few lines. ICP means ideal customer profile: the roles, company sizes, industries and US states you sell to
  3. We email you 10 leads that fit, with contacts. We pick one per company. If fewer fit, we tell you how many and why
  4. You write to them. You judge the fit on real people, with your own message
  5. When you want more, you reply to our email. A pack of 50 costs $2,000, or $40 a lead. A pack of 100 costs $3,600, or $36 a lead. Your free 10 do not count toward a pack. There is no contract
  6. You do the selling. Writing, follow-up and closing are yours. We do not book meetings or promise replies

What each lead contains

  • name, job title and level
  • work email, and a phone marked office or personal
  • company, website, industry and size
  • office city and state
  • the content they engaged with, and its date
  • a proof link: a public page that shows them at the company

Each person opened an email about a B2B report or guide on your topic. Then they clicked a link, filled a form or opened the file. A person checked their name and title online. Then a call confirmed that they work at the company. Every lead is under 90 days old. Details: how we find and check each lead.

The limits, said plainly

  • US only. We do not deliver people outside the United States
  • One free request per company. We send the leads to the work email you gave us
  • Not for agencies or data vendors. We do not send free leads to them
  • Not every set of buyers has enough people. If fewer than 10 fit, we tell you so. We do not fill the gap with people who do not fit
  • A bounce gets a new lead. Every email is accurate: they engaged with content sent to that address. If one still bounces, tell us within 7 days

How to judge your free leads

Run this test before you pay anyone for leads, us included.

  1. Count the role match. How many hold a role that buys from you?
  2. Check the company size. How many are at companies the size you sell to?
  3. Look at the dates. Are they all under 90 days old?
  4. Open each proof link. Does the page show this person at this company?
  5. Check the emails. Run them through any email checker. Count the ones that would bounce
  6. Write to them. Send your normal first message. Count the replies over two weeks

If most pass steps 1 to 5, the leads fit. Step 6 tests your message as much as the leads.

Questions

Can I buy B2B leads without talking to sales?

Yes, if the vendor shows its price and sells by email. With us, you give your work email and tell us who you sell to. You get 10 leads with contacts, free. You then order a pack by replying to our email. Nobody calls you, and there is no contract.

What do the free leads include?

You get 10 leads for the buyers you named. Each has a name, job title, company, work email and phone. Each shows the content the person engaged with, and its date. Each has a proof link. If fewer than 10 fit, we tell you how many and why.

How much do the leads cost after the free ones?

A lead costs less in a bigger pack. 50 leads cost $2,000, or $40 each. 100 cost $3,600, or $36 each. 200 cost $6,800, or $34 each. Before you pay for 200 leads, we check that your buyers can fill it.

A personal number on every lead adds $9 a lead. When you order, we confirm we have these numbers for your buyers. It may be a mobile, so check the Do Not Call list before you call. For more than 200 leads, or a pack every month, write to hello@intentchart.com. Nothing renews by itself. Your free 10 do not count toward a pack.

Do you book meetings for me?

No. We hand you the contact, the content they engaged with and its date. You write to them and close. We do not book meetings, and we do not promise replies or sales.

Why do you not name the sites the leads come from?

We keep the names of the sites and companies we work with private. We show the two checks on every lead instead. A person checked the name and title online, and a call confirmed the employer. Every step is on our How we check page.

Test it on your own buyers

Give us your work email, then tell us who you sell to. We send 10 leads that fit, with contacts. No card, no call.
