COSLR is a SaaS solution designed to give anyone tasked with finding new clients or leads a fast and efficient way to do so. With COSLR you can find, email, and convert new leads with one platform!
Tell us about yourself?
I’ve worked in advertising and technology for almost 20 years with a focus on SaaS for the last 7 years. I have always enjoyed watching how the marketing space has evolved and building products for people that solve real needs.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
Build the products that you would use on a weekly basis. Sometimes entrepreneurs look to build products to solve problems that may not exist. When you focus on building a solution that you personally use, then it’s likely other people are facing that same problem and have a need for that same solution.
What problem does your business solve?
COSLR enables anyone to Find, E-mail & Convert New Customers with One Platform. It’s a swiss-army knife of tools for sales teams, business owners, marketers, recruiters, etc. The COSLR Unlimited plan includes over 200+ Features including:

What is the inspiration behind your business?
Marketing is becoming more personalized and people want to reach more high-intent prospects. Digital ads are moving away from digital identifiers like cookies, so major brands, startups, e-commerce shops, etc. are all looking to leverage first party user data and expand on that same pool of users. COSLR makes that easy, at a fraction of a cost of other tools.
What is your magic sauce?
Scalability. No one provides the same level of features for the cost of $99/mo (or $79/mo if paid for a year). COSLR has over 200+ products and features that create efficiencies for anyone who is tasked with growing revenues for a company.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
The goal is to get 100,000 customers using COSLR across the globe. It takes time to reach that scale, so currently we’re focused on expanding our market share. In addition, we’ll continue to roll out new features for our customers.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
There isn’t enough time in the day! Growing a startup is difficult and requires tech expertise, marketing expertise, and constant A/B testing.
How do people get involved/buy into your vision?
We want everyone to try COSLR. It’s a free 7-day trial and there isn’t any credit card required. It can solve a problem for ANY business, but people need to experience it for themselves. I can only say so much on how great COSLR is. If you have need to find B2B Leads, close more deals on your sales quota, recruit new employees, market your product/service, then COSLR can help.
