Acquisition as Infrastructure.
Not as a Service.

We design, build, and operate direct customer acquisition systems for mid-market and enterprise organizations. This is not another lead source; it is a dedicated operational asset for your business.

Stop Buying Leads. Start Owning Your Pipeline.

For too long, revenue leaders have been forced to rely on a fragmented ecosystem of lead vendors, aggregators, and marketing agencies. The result is inconsistent quality, opaque processes, zero control, and significant compliance risk.

Your organization doesn't need more leads. It needs a predictable, scalable, and defensible system for acquiring customers.

Acquisition.Direct builds that system. We deliver acquisition-as-infrastructure—a managed, end-to-end framework that gives you full control over your pipeline, from initial contact to qualified appointment.

We Partner with Operators, Not Beginners.

This is for you if:

  • You are a senior operator or revenue leader (CEO, COO, CRO, VP) responsible for P&L performance.
  • You manage a sales team and require a predictable source of qualified, high-intent opportunities.
  • You value operational control, compliance, and long-term infrastructure over short-term tactics.
  • You are ready to move beyond the traditional lead vendor model.

This is NOT for you if:

  • You are a solo operator or just starting out.
  • You are shopping for the cheapest possible leads.
  • You are looking for a quick-fix marketing campaign.
  • You are unwilling to invest in a true operational partnership.

Built by an Operator, for Operators.

Acquisition.Direct was founded by Dan Ellis, a former mortgage industry executive who scaled a branch to #1 nationally, managed a $1M+/month P&L, and consistently funded over $250M annually. His experience is in building systems, leading teams, and driving net profit—not in marketing theory.

We understand the pressures of P&L ownership and the need for real, operational solutions. Our approach is grounded in that reality.
