The problem

Small sales teams lose the day before the first call.

10 tabs

Researching, not selling

Every rep opens ten tabs per company: website, register, LinkedIn, news. Most of that work is never written down for the next person.

"Why?"

No reason to call today

Lists say who exists, not who has a deadline, a new manager or an old system. Without a reason, cold calls stay cold.

Day 9

Follow-ups slip

A promising lead gets one email and then nothing, because the next step lived in someone's head or a spreadsheet.

How it works

From "who should we sell to?" to a booked meeting

Set it up once in about ten minutes. After that, your team opens Northlead each morning and works the Today list.

Step 1

Describe your ideal customer

Industries, countries, company size, the systems they use and what you sell them.

Retail, wholesale · AT, DE, HU, HR · 20–250 staff · sells POS + ERP
Step 2

Connect your AI

Paste an API key for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or another model. You pay the provider directly.

Step 3

Get scored leads

Northlead researches companies, checks contacts, detects their website tech and finds the reason to call now.

24 new leads · 9 Tier A · 6 with a deadline
Step 4

Work the Today list

Each lead has one next step, a ready message and answers to likely objections. Mark it done and the next step appears.

EMAIL · Alpenhaus Retail GmbH
Hi Maria, From 1 January, Alpenhaus has to send e-invoices to business customers. Your Shopify POS can do that with one add-on, and we set it up in two days. Would a 15-minute call next Tuesday help?

Questions

Before you start

Do I need my own AI account?

Yes. You connect a key from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, Perplexity or Copilot. Each provider has a pay-as-you-go plan, and the app shows where to get the key in three steps.

What does the AI cost on top?

It depends on how much research you run and which model you pick. The provider bills you directly at its own prices, and the Usage tab shows what each person used. We add nothing on top.

How does the free trial work?

You get 7 days with every feature. We ask for a card when the trial starts and remind you a day before it ends. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in the EU, in a workspace that is separate from every other customer. We sign a GDPR Data Processing Agreement with you and never use your data to train AI.

Does Northlead send emails for me?

No. It writes the email and you send it from your own mailbox, so replies come straight to you and your sender reputation stays safe.

Your next customers are already looking for a reason.

Give your team one. Start the 7-day trial and see your first scored leads today.
