Everything you need to find new business customers and reach them by email and WhatsApp, explained step by step.
Create your account, then let Quick start get your first emails out in about 10 minutes.
Press Create free account and fill in your name, company, work email and a password. Companies you revealed as a visitor move into your new account.
When you want to send emails or WhatsApp messages, choose a plan on Plans and pricing. Searching and 10 reveals are free.
Open Quick start from your Overview. Step 1, Your business: type your website and press Read my website. We read a few public pages and work out what you sell.
Step 2, Buyers: pick up to 3 types of buyer (or type your own) and press Find these companies.
Step 3, Reveal: press Reveal the best 50. You see how many credits it uses before anything is spent.
Step 4, Emails: AI writes 3 short emails, a first email and two gentle follow-ups, in English, Bahasa Malaysia or 中文.
Step 5, Mailbox: connect the email address you send from. This step is skipped if you already have one.
Step 6, Start: read your first email, press Edit email to change anything, then press Start sending.

Write one sentence about who buys from you and see matching companies.
Go to Find companies and describe what you sell and who buys it, for example “We supply tiles. Find contractors and interior designers in Penang”.
Add places in the Where box: whole countries, regions or cities, up to 25. Places you type in your sentence appear there by themselves as dashed tags; press × on a tag to leave that place out.
Press Find companies. Company names stay hidden until you reveal them, but you see how many match and what each one has.
Narrow the list with the filters: All, Has email, WhatsApp, Buying signal and Not revealed.
Press Save search to keep it. On paid plans the button says Save and check daily: we check again every day and flag new matches in your sidebar.
Good to know
A reveal shows a company’s name, the buyer and their contact details. Each company uses one credit, only once.
Press Reveal on a company, or tick several and press Reveal in the bar at the bottom. You see the cost before you confirm.
One company uses one credit. A company you revealed stays revealed while you are subscribed and never costs a second credit.
The free account gives 10 reveals in total, with no card needed. Paid plans get a monthly allowance: Starter 300, Growth 800, Pro 2,000.
There is also a daily limit (Starter 40, Growth 100, Pro 250 a day). It resets at midnight.
Monthly reveals renew on your billing date. Up to one month of unused reveals carries over. Stay 3, 6 or 12 months and your monthly reveals grow by 10%, 20% or 30%.
Contact details wrong? Open the company and press Report wrong contact. Choose what was wrong: Email bounced, Wrong person, Company closed, Wrong phone number or something else.
Good to know
Every company you revealed, from first contact to order, with your notes.
Every company you reveal appears in Pipeline.
Use the tabs to see one stage at a time: New, Contacted, Replied, Meeting booked, Quoted, Won and Not a fit.
Click a company to open it. Choose its stage and write notes, for example “Called, asked for catalogue, follow up Friday”. Notes save when you click outside the box.
To change many at once, tick them and choose Move to stage in the bar at the bottom. The same bar has Email with AI, WhatsApp and Add to flow.
Press Export new reveals to download a CSV file of companies you revealed since your last export. Each paid plan includes a number of export rows a month.
Good to know
Flows send from your own email address, so replies come straight back to you.
Go to Mailboxes and press Add mailbox. Type the email address you send from and press Continue. We find the right settings for you.
Gmail or Google Workspace: press Open 2-Step Verification and turn it on, then press Open App passwords and create one called “BossLead”. Paste the 16 letters and press Test and connect. Your normal Google password will not work here.
Microsoft 365 or Outlook: press Sign in with Microsoft and approve on Microsoft’s own page. We never see your password. If your IT team blocks this, choose Use a password instead.
Zoho and other providers: type the mailbox password (or an app password if you sign in with a code on your phone) and press Test and connect. If the test fails, Advanced settings lets you type the server details yourself.
Adding lots of mailboxes? Press Add many and upload or paste a list: email, password, then optionally sender name and daily limit. Download template gives you an example file.
Next comes the Domain check for SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Copy each missing record with Copy and add it where you manage your domain, usually where you bought it (such as GoDaddy, Exabytes or Cloudflare). Then press Check again.

Watch out
A flow sends a first email, waits, follows up, and stops for anyone who replies.
Go to Flows and press New flow. Choose Write it with AI or Start from scratch.
With AI: say what you want from the emails (for example “Book a short call”), what you offer and who you are writing to. Pick the number of emails (2 to 5), the tone and the language, then press Write my flow. AI only uses what you tell it.
On the Build tab, drag steps onto a + in the flow: Email, Wait, Condition (splits into Yes and No), Set stage and End. Click any step to edit it.
In an email step, Write with AI can Write, Improve, make it Shorter or Make version B. Version B is an A/B test: half the companies get A, half get B, and you see which gets more replies.
Check your email with Preview (using a real company) and Send a test to my email.
On the Settings tab choose What starts this flow (Companies I add, Every company I reveal, or When a company moves to a stage), the sending days and hours, the mailboxes to send from and the most new companies to start each day.
Add companies: tick them in Pipeline or in search results and choose Add to flow. Then press Turn on.

Choose Email with AI or WhatsApp in the bar at the bottom.
Email with AI writes a first message and up to three follow-ups, with a personal opening line for each company. Read them and change anything before you launch.
WhatsApp works in two ways: From my phone (we write each message, you open each chat and press send yourself) or WhatsApp Business API (sent for you with a Meta-approved template).
Follow progress on the Campaigns page: reached, replies and opt-outs.

Upgrade, downgrade or cancel whenever you like.

Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of your billing period.
After you cancel, paid reveals, flows and campaigns pause and the loyalty bonus resets. Your pipeline, notes and saved searches are kept for when you come back.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
Usually one of these: the domain check is not 3/3 (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), the mailbox is new and sends too much too soon, the email has many links or images, or open tracking is on. Fix the domain records, keep to 30–50 emails a day per mailbox, let the warm-up run and keep first emails short and plain.
Per mailbox, 30 to 50 a day is safest; new mailboxes start at 10 and go up by 3 a day. Your plan also has a daily message limit for email and WhatsApp together (Starter 100, Growth 300, Pro 800) and a monthly email allowance (Starter 500, Growth 2,000, Pro 6,000). For more, add more mailboxes.
You cannot reveal new companies until your monthly reveals renew on your billing date (or tomorrow, if you hit the daily limit). Companies you already revealed stay in your pipeline, and flows keep emailing them. You can upgrade for a bigger allowance.
Yes. Bounced emails are credited by themselves. For anything else, press Report wrong contact on the company. Most reports are credited at once; some are checked within 2 working days.
In Malaysia the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) covers personal data such as a named person’s email or phone number. Good practice: contact businesses about things that relate to their work, say clearly who you are, make it easy to opt out and stop at once when asked. Every flow email has an opt-out line, and anyone who opts out is never emailed by your flows again. This is general information, not legal advice.
Each flow email ends with a one-click opt-out link, and replies like “unsubscribe” or “berhenti” count too. That address is then blocked for all your flows. On WhatsApp, replying STOP or BERHENTI opts the person out.
It replied, its email bounced, it unsubscribed, or it reached an End step. Open the flow and look at the Companies tab to see the reason for each one.
Either the sign-in stopped working (for example after a password change), or too many emails bounced. Press Test on the mailbox card, or Sign in again for Microsoft mailboxes, then press Resume.
No. Only replies to emails sent by BossLead are brought into your Inbox. Other mail in your mailbox is never imported.
No. Automatic sending is only possible through the official WhatsApp Business Platform with approved templates. Tools that log in to WhatsApp Web with a QR code break WhatsApp’s terms and often get numbers banned.
English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese (中文). Choose the language when you write a flow or an email, and you can edit every word afterwards.
Yes, at any time. Upgrades start straight away; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the billing period. Use Billing on the Account page.
