In K-12 sales, your biggest time sink probably isn’t what you think.

It’s not cold calls.
It’s not chasing follow-ups.
It’s not even updating the CRM.

The real time-killer? Finding the right contacts.

The Hidden Grind of K-12 Prospecting

Every sales team knows the drill. You land a new territory or vertical, eager to start reaching out. But before you can even think about booking meetings, you’re stuck combing through school and district websites. Each one looks different. Job titles vary wildly. Some have searchable staff directories — others don’t even list emails.

Then there’s the turnover. K-12 sees major job changes every summer, which means your contact data goes stale almost overnight. Even if you built a clean list last quarter, it’s probably out of date today.

All of this adds up. We’ve spoken to dozens of sales teams who spend weeks researching and verifying contacts before a single email goes out.

Meet LeadGel: Built for K-12 Prospecting

That’s why we built LeadGel — the first AI-powered prospecting tool designed specifically for K-12 sales teams.

LeadGel scrapes and structures contact data directly from school and district websites, giving you a clean, exportable list of decision-makers in minutes, not weeks. No manual Googling. Just fresh contacts you can trust.
