For teams in Lebanon and the UAE
- Lebanon: many small businesses have no public decision-maker profile, so LeadsMind starts from the company record: its listing, website and phone line, with a filter for listings that show a mobile number.
- UAE: LeadsMind's UAE coverage is thinner than its Lebanese coverage and still growing. The WhatsApp inbox, pipeline and call coaching work the same for UAE teams, and your own contacts import by CSV.
- Paying from Lebanon: LeadsMind is priced in US dollars per workspace and can be paid by international card, or by invoice through a fresh-USD bank transfer, Whish or OMT.
- Agencies in Lebanon and the UAE: Apollo's standard plans are for internal business use, and using its data to serve your own clients needs a separate agreement with Apollo.
