How does a distributor find new customers in Brazil?

Filter by CNAE the businesses that buy your range (bars, restaurants, bakeries, grocers, pharmacies) in the neighborhoods and cities on your route, prioritize recently opened ones, and contact them on WhatsApp with prices and terms. Organizing the list by neighborhood makes each seller's route efficient. 1Lead filters by CNAE and neighborhood and automates the sequence.

What slows prospecting down

New outlets found too late

By the time your seller drives by, a competitor got the first order.

Unplanned routes

Field sellers visit who they know, not who has the most potential.

Quotes without follow-up

Price lists go out on WhatsApp and nobody tracks the reply.

Frequently asked questions

Can I organize prospecting by neighborhood?

Yes. The neighborhood filter lets you build one segment per route and assign it to sellers.

Where does the company data come from?

From Brazil's public CNPJ registry: CNAE codes, address, company size, share capital, opening date, registration status, partners and registered contacts when available. You can filter to companies with contact data only.

Is this compliant with LGPD?

1Lead works with public business data and sequences that stop when someone replies or opts out. Each company remains responsible for using a valid legal basis, such as legitimate interest, and transparent messages.
