100 cold calls a day. Building ZipLead.

About

I make around 100 cold calls a day at my job, and building the list every morning was the part I hated. So I built ZipLead for myself: type a ZIP, get every local business ranked by who's actually worth calling. It saved me hours and stopped me wasting dials on businesses that were never buying. Worked well enough that I figured other people on the phones could use it, so I cleaned it up and launched it.
