I am the manager of JustCBD Store company (justcbdstore.com) and I’m presently trying to grow my wholesale side of company. It would be great if anybody at targetdomain give me some advice 🙂 I considered that the most suitable way to do this would be to reach out to vape companies and cbd retailers. I was really hoping if anybody at all could recommend a reputable website where I can buy CBD Shops Business Sales Leads I am presently checking out creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not sure which one would be the best option and would appreciate any assistance on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?
