# Stop Buying Leads the Old Fashioned Way

## MediaAlpha DSP Improves Lead Conversion by 30%

For anyone buying data leads today, there are some real challenges that you have to contend with:

- Manually completing multiple insertion orders for numerous suppliers;
- Negotiating and managing varying fixed-price contracts with those same 3rd-party providers; 
- Not having clear visibility into lead quality or market inventory to determine bidding; and,
- Losing the ability to control delivery timing to match call center capacity.

A leading provider of life insurance was dealing with these same issues: 

*"Traditional lead buying prevented us from doing what we  
wanted. We were forced to work with different campaign  
types, price points and strategies for each vendor. We had  
no ability to execute thoughtful, data-driven strategies on  
our own terms.*

*It was costing us real time and money, and we needed to   
find a better way!”*

The carrier decided to take control of their lead buying by utilizing [MediaAlpha for Advertisers](http://mediaalpha.com/solutions/advertisers/) as their demand-side platform.

Through the robust programmatic platform, the Company unified all lead buying, implemented smarter strategies, and operated more effectively.

The results?
