Exclusive lead
An exclusive lead is a sales record sold to a single buyer and locked against that buyer's rivals. The moment it lands in your room, no competitor of yours can buy the same record. It's the opposite of shared databases, where the same contact is resold to everyone at once.

In practice
When you buy a lead on Stalex, it enters your private room. From that point the record is locked to you against your rivals — no competitor in your vertical and market can buy the same one.
Every lead is EIN-verified and carries a 0-100 score and an A-D grade, so you know what the record is before you pay for it. You see your per-lead price up front. The bill reads line by line.
Exclusive vs shared
Shared databases — the sales-intelligence model used by tools like ZoomInfo and Apollo — sell the same contact to every subscriber at once, on seats and credits. Ten buyers can pull the identical record and call it the same week. See how the shared-database vendors compare side by side.
An exclusive lead flips that. One record, one buyer, locked against that buyer's competitors. See the full contrast in exclusive vs shared leads.
Why it matters
A shared record is a race. You dial a prospect who has already heard the same pitch from four rivals working off the same download. Response rates fall, and you paid for a contact your competitor also owns.
With an exclusive lead, that race doesn't happen in your lane. The record is yours against your rivals for the length of the deal — you compete on your offer, not on who calls first. The pricing guide covers why exclusive costs more than shared.

Illustration, not a live record. Every lead carries a 0-100 score and a grade. Read them to choose who to call first; they never promise a sale.

Request early accessFrequently asked questions
Does exclusive mean no one else on earth can ever get this lead?
No. Exclusivity is rival-scoped, not absolute. It guarantees that no competitor of yours can buy the same record. Stalex may deliver the record to a non-competing buyer in a different vertical or market.
How is an exclusive lead different from a shared-database contact?
A shared database resells the same contact to many subscribers at once. An exclusive lead is sold to one buyer and locked against that buyer's competitors, so rivals can't purchase the identical record.
What do I actually receive with an exclusive lead?
An EIN-verified business record that carries a 0-100 score and an A-D grade, delivered into your private room. You see the per-lead price you pay.
