Exclusive MCA Leads
Exclusive MCA leads are sold to a single buyer — eliminating competition during outreach and producing 3-5x higher conversion rates than non-exclusive leads — at premium pricing reflecting the value of merchant exclusivity.
Why This Matters
Exclusive lead economics: typical pricing $100-$300 per exclusive lead versus $25-$60 for non-exclusive (shared 3-5 ways); conversion rates 8-15% versus 2-4% for shared leads; effective cost-per-funded similar but exclusive provides better merchant experience and faster conversion. Exclusivity may be perpetual (sold once, never resold) or time-limited (exclusive for 24-72 hours then released). True exclusivity requires lead vendor integrity — verifying exclusivity through suppression lists and ongoing audit. Exclusive lead supply is limited; aggregators sometimes claim exclusivity while reselling.
