I run Opta, a modern lead distribution platform built to help lead buyers and sellers earn more per lead with less manual work.

If you're buying leads, we'll help you improve your lead quality, easily manage all your lead sources in one place, and optimize faster so you can scale what works and kill what doesn't. In short, protect your ad spend and increase return on ad spend with less grunt work.

If you're selling leads, we'll help you streamline your buyer management, increase revenue per lead, and reduce your unsold lead inventory. In short, sell more leads at higher prices with automation.

Want to see Opta in action or chat lead gen? Drop me a DM or shoot me an email at cole at opta.io

New feature dropping in Opta Tuesday 👀

Cofounder at Opta | Helping lead buyers improve lead quality & conversion rates

Another day, another happy Opta user:

"This is cleaning up so much that I'm sure wasn't even on our radar that used to pad our system with illegitimate leads. Having it all funneled through the same platform like this is a no-brainer. Absolutely working as advertised."

The absolute best way to end my week is reviewing our users accounts.

It's an incredible feeling to see the savings that Opta enables for our customers.

Thousands of dollars per month. Real money.

Money that can go into other areas of their businesses, or straight back into marketing to buy high-quality leads they can be confident will *actually* drive revenue.

On my morning run the other day, I heard David Senra quote Richard Branson on his favorite definition of business:

"A business is simply an idea to make other people’s lives better."

Couldn't be more excited to continue working with Rahul Richhi to improve our customers' lives.

"I'm kicking myself for not figuring this out sooner."

It's really simple:

❌ You shouldn't buy leads without validating the contact information.

❌ You shouldn't buy leads that you already bought from another lead source.

❌ You shouldn't buy leads from outside your service area.

I say this and it sounds obvious, yet TONS of teams have yet to learn the impact of rejecting these leads in real-time.

Here's what I mean 👇

One of our newest customers is a home improvement company focused on window installation.

In 2 weeks of using Opta, their appointment set rate has *doubled.*

And they've *saved $9.8K* in wasted lead spend.

In 10 business days!

No changes to marketing strategy. 

Just not buying bad leads and wasting time calling them.

B2B Growth Strategist | Lead Generation & Outreach Expert | Business Development & BPO Services

I’m Maricela Cerrato, a multitasking master who thrives at the intersection of strategy, marketing, and impact. By day, I wear multiple hats as the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at The Colby Group, Marketing Associate at Momentum Digital, and Vice Chairman at Tabitha’s Compassion International. I’m also part of the editorial team at LeadGen Insider, where I help businesses thrive through smart strategies and creative lead generation.

With experience spanning B2B growth, lead generation, content strategy, and business development, I specialize in:
✔ LinkedIn & email outreach for high-converting campaigns
✔ B2B lead generation & appointment setting
✔ Strategic partnerships & brand positioning
✔ BPO services & technology-driven lead generation solutions

I’m also a law student, balancing case studies and legal analysis with my work in business strategy. This unique combination sharpens my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills—whether I’m crafting high-performing campaigns or navigating complex business challenges.

From developing growth-focused strategies to building strong partnerships, I bring a results-driven approach that blends strategy, automation, and a personal touch. My focus is on helping businesses scale efficiently, leveraging both BPO services and technology-driven solutions to optimize lead generation and customer acquisition.

But don’t let the titles fool you—I believe in adding a touch of humor to everything. Life’s too short for dull Zoom calls or cookie-cutter solutions, right?

📩 Let’s connect if you’re into innovative ideas, growth-focused partnerships, or need a results-driven approach to B2B success. And if you bring coffee, we’ll be instant best friends. ☕
